GENERAL CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE. Sweat, dirt, salt from winter roads, sea salt, mineral salts, and malto- dextrin will damage your bike, meaning that your bicycle and its components require regular cleaning to protect them from xxxxx- sion. The information and instructions in this manual are not intended as a guide for repairing or assembling a bicycle from individual parts. Respect the rules of the road. Keep your hands on the handlebars at all times. Do not engage in behaviours that could cause danger to yourself and other road users. Never take a tow from another vehicle. Never take your feet off the pedals unless the road conditions or a situation requires you to do so. Do not attempt to do any maintenance, repair, adjustment, or assembly work on the bicycle unless you are experienced and know exactly what you are doing. Mistakes can pose high risks to your safety. If in doubt, contact an authorised Pinarello dealer for support. Always read the specific user manual provided by the manufacturers of the different components. Never mount luggage or large, heavy objects on the handlebar, as this increases the risk of falling. Avoid wearing skirts or other long and loose clothing while riding the bicycle. Do not attach ropes, cords, or similar objects to your bicycle. They could get caught in the wheels or drivetrain. INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE We recommend that you have the bicycle checked periodically by your trusted Pinarello dealer. An assembly check should be carried out after the first few kilometres travelled for purposes of adjust- ment once the components have settled in. After that, we recom- mend that the bike be inspected periodically (annually). These inspections make it possible to detect any worn components and to then restore the bicycle to perfect working order. It is advisable to use only original spare parts or alternative components suggested by your Pinarello dealer. Replacement components from other suppliers, and of other sizes, especially those subject to wear, may put the safety of your bicycle at risk. The use of non-original spare parts or spare parts not recommended by Pinarello, and any repair maintenance and service carried out by unauthorised personnel will void the warranty and CE marking of the bicycle. AFTER A FALL In the event of a fall, we recommend the following checks before riding the bicycle again.
GENERAL CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE. All walls, floors, ceilings, windows, woodwork, and doors should be clean, free of dirt, dust, grease, holes, gouges, scratches, cobwebs, marker/crayon/pencil/ink, and fingerprints.
