Cleaning and Maintaining the bike
Danger of personal injury and material damage!
Corrosion can damage safety-relevant parts so that their strength is no longer
assured. These parts can then break while riding and lead to serious accidents.
Corrosion is caused in particular by
Salt (e.g. salt from the roads in winter)
Salty air (e.g. near the coast or industrial premises)
Perspiration
Even stainless materials can be affected by this corrosion.
If your bike is exposed to such corrosion-enhancing substances, it must be
Protected before any contact with these substances, and
Cleaned and protected again after every contact with such substances
Danger of material damage!
Do not use steam cleaners or high-pressure cleaners. The strong water jet can
damage your bike.
Good care and maintenance increases the service life of your bike and its components. Clean and
service your bike at regular intervals.
Use a gentle water spray or a bucket of water with a sponge for wet cleaning.
There are many methods of cleaning a bike. The following is a proven method for cleaning a
heavily soiled bike:
1.
Remove coarse soiling such as earth, stones, sand, etc. using a gentle water
spray.
2.
Allow the bike to dry for a while.
3.
Spray the complete bike with a suitable cleansing agent.
With many cleansers and moderate soiling it is often sufficient to spray on the
cleanser and to rinse it off again after the prescribed waiting time.
Stubborn soiling can be loosened e.g. with a radiator paintbrush after the
waiting time before rinsing.
