Putting The Skates On; Removing The Skates; Maintenance - Crivit IAN 306977 Gebrauchsanweisung

Mastering curves
At low speeds:
Shift your weight as if riding a bicycle.
Move your weight onto your left foot for a left
curve and onto your right foot for a right curve.
At high speeds:
Cross your feet as in ice-skating (Figure B).
Braking techniques
Note: Practise various braking tech-
niques on a smooth surface without
traffic or pedestrians. Avoid slopes until
you are confident about braking.
Braking with your stopper (Figure C):
If your skates are fitted with brake stoppers,
remember to use them. Lift the heel of your skate
slightly and press the brake into the ground.
Shift your weight forwards slightly and bend
your knees. The braking effect can be intensified
if you bend your knees more and shift your
weight further forwards, while increasing at the
same time the pressure on the skate you are
braking with.
V-stopping (Figure D):
If you have removed the brake stopper from your
skates, you should use the 'V-stop' technique.
To do this, make a sharp "V" shape with your
toes and roll so that your feet meet.
Setting the steering characteristic
The steering characteristic of the article depends
on the weight of the user and the adjustment of
the steering. The steering can be adjusted by
both nuts (9). For harder steering, tighten the
nuts. In order to achieve softer steering, loosen
the nuts slightly.
ATTENTION! The thread must protrude
at lease 3mm (approx. 2 threads) be-
yond the self-locking nut as the steering
will be set too softly otherwise.
The rollers may hit the shoe and block if
the incline is steep (Figure H).
Note: Test and check the steering pro-
perties of the product before each use.
Testing the steering characteristic
1. Put on the roller skates and stand up.
2. Lean with your full body weight alternately to
the left and to the right.
3. The underside of the roller skate must not rest
on the wheels (Figure H).
4. If necessary, adjust the steering characteristic.

Putting the skates on

Preparation from unpacking to
putting the skates on
Important!
Ensure that your roller skates fit
properly. Check all settings before each
skating session, as they can alter over
time and as a result of frequent use.
Put your roller skate on like a normal shoe.
To do this, use the laces (1) to find a secure fit.
Thread the laces (1) in a cross fashion into the
corresponding eyelets (Figure E). Tie the laces
(1) at the end with a bow.

Removing the skates

Open the laces (1) on the skates and take the
skates off. If necessary, loosen the laces first.

Maintenance

Changing the brake stopper
(Figure F)
Note: Worn brakes do not function
properly.
• Use appropriate tools to replace the
brakes on the tip of the shoe.
• When changing the toe stoppers, en-
sure that they cannot rotate, and use
new screws for the new stoppers.
1. Turn the roller skate upside down with the
rollers facing upwards and loosen the Phillips
screw (8) on the brake stopper (7) from above
with the appropriate Phillips screwdriver.
2. Insert the screw into the new brake stopper
and attach it to the bottom of the roller skate
using the screw.
Changing the rollers (Figure G)
Important!
• Please refer to the section on tech-
nical data: Rollers with a different
diameter could change the handling
characteristics and could mean a risk
to the user in some circumstances.
