Inspection; Maintenance; Liability For Material Defects And Warranty - SQlab M-D LINE Bedienungsanleitung

Inspection

Regularly check the surface of the saddle and the saddle stays for possible damage at least twice a year, in each case after no more than
2000 km and especially after falls or other situations involving unusually high forces.
Damage may be difficult to detect. Cracking and creaking noises as well as discoloration, cracks and waves in the surface of the saddle
stays may indicate damage due to overloading.
Warning
Riding with a damaged saddle
Risk of falling due to sudden and unmediated breakage of the saddle frame during use.
•
If in doubt, do not continue riding under any circumstances and ask your SQlab dealer immediately.

Maintenance

Clean the saddle regularly with water and a soft cloth. For heavier soiling, a commercially available rinsing or cleaning agent and warm
water can also be used.
Caution
Incorrect cleaning
Damage to the saddle, saddle pan or struts.
• Do not use a high-pressure cleaner.
•
Avoid solvent-containing or aggressive cleaning agents such as acetone, nitro (thinner), cleaning gasoline or
trichloroethylene.
Noises such as creaking, cracking and squeaking are undesirable. The cause is usually difficult to find out. The most common source on
the saddle is the saddle clamp.
Note
Make absolutely sure that the clamping surfaces of the seat post and the clamping area of the saddle stays are free of dirt.
But also the connection of seatpost and frame to the bottom bracket often makes noise. The connection of the struts to the saddle can
also be the cause of noise. Usually the rear connection of the seat stays causes the noise.
Note
A little spray or penetrating oil in the space between the saddle rails and the saddle shell can help. The oiling must initially be
repeated about every 2-3 trips.
After that, no more noises should occur even without regular lubrication.
Note
To find out the actual source of the noise, it is advisable to first oil either the front or the rear connection between the saddle strut
and the saddle shell.
