All warranty claims must be processed through an author-
ized Orbea dealer, who will perform the initial diagnosis
and send Orbea, Shimano or the affected component
manufacturer all the necessary documentation for a com-
plete diagnosis of the claim in question. The dealer will
inform the owner about the status of the process and the
decision made on the warranty claim by Orbea, Shimano
or the component manufacturer.

TECHNICAL MANUAL
03 MAINT ENAN C E
Orbea products are carefully designed to be long-lasting,
frames and forks are extremely corrosion-resistant.
However, your bicycle needs regular maintenance of its
components in order to ensure that it works properly and
safely, and to ensure its longevity.
KEEP YOUR BICYCLE CLEAN
Clean your bicycle with mild soap and water on a regular
basis to keep it working like new, and check the condition
of the frame and its components. Do not use pressurized
water, since it could damage components like bearings or
the tubes of the frame.
Citrus-based degreasers are biodegradable and very effec-
tive in removing grease from drivetrain components and
the chain.
Accumulated dirt can complicate the visual
inspection of the components and hide dam-
age that could potentially cause malfunctions
or accidents.
Built-up dirt causes the premature wear
of components and can even damage the
bicycle frame in areas such as the bearing
housings and moving parts. Damage due to
the lack of cleaning and maintenance is not
covered by the warranty.
KEEP YOUR DRIVETRAIN LUBRICATED
Once you have cleaned your bicycle, lubricate the
amount necessary to lubricate the links, removing any ex-
cess amounts to prevent them from attracting dirt, caus-
ing the drivetrain to not work properly and the premature
wear of the components.
Avoid the use of aerosol lubricants to pre-
vent them from adhering to the brake sur-
faces. Always check the brakes after lubri-
cating the drivetrain.

INSPECT YOUR BICYCLE BEFORE EVERY RIDE
Do a quick check before each ride to make sure that your
bicycle is in optimal operating conditions. You might dis-
cover small problems that could turn into major issues
during the ride.
FRAME: Inspect the frame and the fork, looking for cracks
or other damage. No strange noises should be heard. In
the event of any damage to the frame, avoid using the
bicycle and contact your authorized dealer for inspection.
CHAIN: Ensure it's clean and lubricated. The drivetrain
should not make any abnormal noises.
BRAKES: Check that the brakes operate properly and
in a safe manner. Check the tightening torques of the
components.
TIRES: Check for worn tires and look for cuts on the tread
or sides. If you spot damage, replace the tire. Make sure
that the tire pressure is adequate.
WHEELS: Check that the wheels turn smoothly and show
no signs of lateral deviations. Turn the wheel slightly from
side to side to check that there is no lateral play in the
bearings. Make sure that there are no broken or loose
spokes. Check that the axles or quick-release levers are
securely tightened with the correct tightening torque.
HEADSET: Activate the front brake and move the front part
of the bicycle back and forth, applying pressure on the
handlebars with the rear wheel on the ground. Check for
strange noises or movement of the headset, which could
indicate that the bearings are worn or the headset has not
been correctly tightened. Once the headset is correctly
adjusted, check that it turns smoothly.
LINKAGE PIVOT POINTS: On full suspension bicycles,
check that all the linkage pivot points rotate smoothly and
show no signs of play in the bearings. Pull the linkages
from side to side on the bicycle and pay attention to any
noise or play at the pivot points. If the linkages do not
operate smoothly or show signs of play, it could be a sign
that the tightening torques are incorrect or that the bear-
ings are worn or damaged.
ORBEA | 11
BEARINGS: The bearings (bottom bracket, linkage pivot
points, headset, wheels, etc.) are elements subject to wear
that must be inspected on a regular basis to ensure that
they operate correctly. Bearings in poor condition can
damage the components in which they are installed. Ad-
verse weather conditions speed up bearing wear. Bearings
that have excessive play or that do not turn smoothly must
be replaced immediately. In the case of any doubt, consult
your authorized dealer.
Damage to components like the frame, bi-
cycle wheels, etc. associated with the lack
of maintenance and the replacement of the
bearings are not covered by the warranty
conditions.
PEDELEC SYSTEM: Turn the bicycle on and check that
the electric assist system functions correctly. Ensure
there is electric assistance and that all components op-
erate correctly.
If there is no electric assistance, inspect all the connec-
tions between the components and the condition of the
components and the cables (cables are components that
show damage must be replaced).
Check for errors in the electric system. The SC-EN800
display will show the error code if there was any. The
EW-EN100 junction will show any errors with the two LED
lights blinking in red. Connect the bicycle to the Etube
Project app for smartphones to know the error code.
Knowing the error code, follow the recommended solu-
tion on the app or read the Shimano STEPS manual for
the troubleshooting procedure. If the error persists after
following the recommended solution or if a solution is
not possible to be applied by the consumer, take your
bicycle to an authorized dealer for a complete diagnosis
and repair.
Failure to follow the recommendations out-
lined in this manual and riding a bicycle that
shows signs of the symptoms described above
may cause accidents and serious injuries.
