SIZE AND WIDTH ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 5-7)

Size adjustment (Fig. 5)

The currently set shoe size is indicated by an arrow on the size marker on the outside of the 

inline skate below the toe cap. To adjust the shoe size, the quick release fastener and 

power strap must be open. To increase the shoe size, press and hold the locking knob on 

the inside of the shoe (Fig. 5) while pushing the toe cap forward from the inside with your 

hand in the shaft of the shoe. Alternatively, you can pull the toe cap from the outside. To 

reduce the shoe size, also keep the locking knob pressed while pushing the toe cap back. 

When the desired shoe size is reached, make sure that the locking knob engages and that 

it jumps back to its original position. Attention! Do not turn the locking knob completely in 

the counter-clockwise direction.

Width adjustment (Fig. 6-7)

Remove the Allen key from the compartment designed for this purpose below the heel area 

of the left shoe (Fig. 6). To increase the width of the shoe, turn the screw on the outer side 

of the inline skate clockwise with the Allen wrench. To reduce the width, turn the Allen 

wrench counter-clockwise. (Fig 7) Then stow the Allen key back in its compartment to keep 

it handy and not to lose it. If the Allen key is lost, a standard Allen key of 3mm can also be 

used for adjustment. Since the left and right foot are never completely the same, the correct 

width is individual and should be adjusted to fit the foot. This is best done by feeling the foot 

in the shoe. It is important to choose a comfortable setting, which nevertheless offers good 

support, by means of the infinitely variable adjustment.

SKATING TECHNIQUE

Every beginning is difficult and the most accidents take place for the ‘beginners’ within the 

first ten minutes. Be very careful during this phase! Take a few steps with toes pointing 

forwards because this how you will push off from the ground. Balance on one foot. Better 

skills at doing this will make skating and braking easier later. Be careful – inline skates can 

reach unexpected speeds. Now practise on clean, level tarmac. Stand straight on your 

skates with your feet parallel and about six inches apart. Slowly raise your arms forward 

and bend your knees till your shin is in contact with the boot.  Let your body weight pass 

through the balls of your feet. Beginners often mistakenly stand straight, keeping knees too 

stiff and putting their weight on the heels. Avoid all streets that are steep, have traffic on 

them or have difficult surfaces. Select the difficulty of the roads and surfaces according to 

your level of expertise. Moisture, sand and dirt damage the wheels and bearings. The next 

step to learn is turning. Get comfortable with the feel of the edge by tilting the skates out-

wards and inwards while you are still standing. Use your hip and knees to do this. Now try 

to do this while you are skating. You will experience a greater pressure on the inside of your 

foot while turning, which is why you must always lean a little inwards. 

BRAKING TECHNIQUE

Learn how to brake. If you want to stand you can just roll to a halt. Pros also do that. You 

can of course brake with stoppers as well: lift your right foot’s toes slightly so that the stop-

per touches the ground at the back. The more pressure you put, the quicker you will de-

crease the speed. Avoid full brakes because then you may not have complete control.  

Always skate with foresight!

CHANGING ROLLERS AND BEARINGS (FIG. 8)

1. Roller | 2.  Spacer | 3. Ball Bearing | 4. Axle Winding | 5. Axle Screw 

Wheels and bearings are available as accessories and can be changed independent of each 

other if they wear out or get damaged. While changing the wheels, keep in mind that bea-

ring needs to be removed from the old wheels and attached to the new ones. Refer to figure 

8 for better understanding and remember to properly fasten the axle screw and secure with 

locking varnish. Your inline skates have precision bearings that have been filled with lubri-

cant under high pressure at the production plant. This is why your skates move easily and 

quickly with just a little pressure while skating. Like the wheels, the bearings also need to 

be replaced when they stop working properly. However, never dismantle them! 

EXCHANGING OR ADJUSTING THE HEEL BRAKE (FIG. 9)

6. Stopper holder | 7. Stopper (heel brake) 

Frequent braking or complete braking wear out the stoppers. If the stopper has lowered 

from its position, it needs to be replaced. Use a Phillips screwdriver (PH2) to loosen the 

screw on the underside of the stopper from the stopper holder so that you can remove the 

stopper. Reinsert the new stopper correctly and then tighten the screw again using the 

Phillips screwdriver (PH2). The free space between the lower edge of the stopper and the 

skating surface must be between 7-17 mm. As far as possible, let an experienced person 

replace the stopper.
