Storing The Bike - Prophete CITY Bedienungsanleitung

MAINTENANCE & CARE
GENERAL CARE NOTES
• Ensure that no care agent, grease or oil reaches the brake linings, brake disc or tyres,
since the brake performance may otherwise be reduced or the wheels may slip. Dan-
ger of accident!
• Never use any high pressure or steam jets for cleaning, since this may cause damage
WARNING
(e.g. paint damage, damage from rust formation on the bearings, etc.). Instead, clean
the bicycle manually with warm water, a bicycle cleaning agent and a soft sponge.
• Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents, since they may, e.g., attack the paint. After
cleaning, apply commercial bicycle preservation and polishing agents, especially also
to corrosion-susceptible parts.
• In order to prevent rust formation, the bicycle requires care at shorter intervals in are-
as with salty air (near the coast) and must be treated with preserving care agents.
Clean the bicycle at regular intervals (at least twice per year), to prevent damage and flash
rust. In particular after rides in the rain and in winter, there may otherwise be rust formation
from splashing or salt-containing water.

STORING THE BIKE

Clean and preserve the bicycle before storage as described in the chapter maintenance/
care. Store it in a dry room protected against large temperature fluctuations, since this may
negatively affect chrome and metal parts. Also ensure that the bicycle is protected against
outer influences. Suspended storage of the bicycle is recommended with regard to the tyres.
SPRING CHECK
After an extended period of time without use, perform the items described in the chapter
First commissioning/inspections before starting a ride in addition to the regular mainte-
nance work. Specifically check the functions of the brakes, gearshift, lighting, air pressure
and tight fit of the screws, nuts and quick-clamps. If necessary, specifically also regrease the
chain.
