Maintenance activities
Frame
The frame is powder-coated. To prevent it from corrosion, it is important to
store the balance bike indoors, and clean it regularly. If you want to
conserve the frame with grease, only use acid free substances. You can treat
damaged areas with paint. Check the bolts and nuts for rust and replace them
to prevent them from breaking which can cause injuries.
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 tires must not come into contact with oil, grease or fuel. -
Check the tire pressure if your BERG balance bike has pneumatic tires. The correct tire pressure is shown on the outside of the tire. 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 su#er excessive wear and tear. If the tire pressure is too high, the tire can for example come loose from the rim, resulting in dangerous situations.
Attention : remember that in bright sunlight and at high temperatures the tire pressure increases!
Steering
The steering equipment must be checked every month for the following:
- Damage, rust, wear and tear.
- All the nuts and bolts must be tightened.
Brake
- Regularly check the brake for any wear and whether if it is working properly. Use the instructions shown in chapter 2.2.1 to adjust the brake.
- Replace the brake pads when they show extensive wear.
Attention : Dirty brake pads can lead to accidents! The brake pads must not come into contact with substances like oil, grease or fuel.
