Maintenance

Some maintenance is necessary in order to use the BERG product and have fun with it for a long time.
This chapter describes how, how often, and which maintenance must be carried out.

Maintenance scheme

Wheels / Tires •          Check for wear

•          Check the tire pres- sure and if neces- sary increase the pressure.

| Frame •          Clean and check all nuts and bolts.

•          Check the frame for any cracks and fractures.

| Plastic Parts •          Clean the plastic parts and check for damage.
| Steering •          Check all nuts and bolts.

•          Lubricate the mov-ing parts.

Maintenance activities

1. Frame

   • The frame is powder-coated or black zinc plated. To prevent it from rust, it’s 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.

2. 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 air 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 suffer 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!

3. 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.

4. Plastic parts

   • The plastic parts must be checked regularly for damage and breakage.
