2.2 Maintenance activities
2.2.1 Frame
The frame is powder-coated or black zinc plated. To prevent any rust forming it is important to regularly
clean the frame. If you want to conserve the frame with grease, only use acid free substances. You can
treat damaged areas with paint.
2.2.2 Wheels/tires
Regularly check the rims and tires for any damage (for example cuts, cracks and bulges).
Attention: damaged rims and tires can lead to accidents! The correct tire pressure is shown on the
outside of the tires (22PSI / 1,5BAR). If the tires are at the correct pressure the product will be light and
easy to handle. If the pressure is too low, the tires will leak quicker and will suffer excessive wear and tear.
If the tire pressure is too high, the tire can for example, come away from the rim, resulting in danger-
ous situations. Attention: remember that in bright sunlight and at high temperatures the tire pressure
increases! The tires must not come into contact with oil, grease or fuel. Make sure that the valve caps are
always fitted on the valves.
2.2.3 Steering
The steering equipment must be checked every month for the following:
• Damage and/or wear and tear to steering equipment.
• All the nuts and bolts must be tightened.
Check alligment of the smallest deflection of the left and the right wheel with the
front bumper 1a and 1b. Loose the steering swivel at the side of the wheel with the smallest deflection.
Than push the wheel away from the bumper. After that tighten the steering swivel well.
