2 SAFETY ADVICE

5

Warning

Danger of burns

The damper gets very hot when the vehicle is driven.

Do not touch the damper before it has cooled down.

Allow the damper to cool down before performing any work.

Only use the chassis component when it is in perfect technical condition, in accordance with its intended use,
and in a safe and environmentally compatible manner.
If there are faults, which impair safety, have them immediately remedied in a WP Authorized Center.
Adhere to the information and warning labels on the chassis component.

2.6

Work rules

Special tools are necessary for certain tasks. The tools are not a component of the chassis component, but can be
ordered using the number in parentheses. Example: air pump (T1317)
During assembly, use new parts to replace parts which cannot be reused (e.g. seals, sealing rings, O-rings).
In the case of certain screws, a thread locker (e.g.

Loctite

®

) is required. Apply according to the manufacturer's

instructions.
After disassembly, clean the parts that are to be reused and check them for damage and wear. Change damaged
or worn parts.
After completing a repair or service work, check the operating safety of the chassis component.

2.7

Environment

If you use your chassis component responsibly, you can ensure that problems and conflicts do not occur.
When disposing of used oil, other operating and auxiliary fluids, and used components, comply with the laws and
regulations of the respective country.

2.8

Owner's Manual

It is important that you read this Owner's Manual carefully and completely before your child makes his or her first
trip. The Owner's Manual contains useful information and many tips for you and your child on how to operate,
handle, and maintain your motorcycle. This is the only way for you to find out how to ideally set up the chassis
component and how to protect yourself and your child from injury.
Keep the Owner's Manual in an accessible place to enable you to refer to it as needed.
If you would like to know more about the chassis component or have questions on the material you read, please
contact a WP Authorized Center.
The Owner's Manual is an important part of the chassis component and must be handed over to the new owner if
the vehicle is sold.

2.9

Correct installation

Correct installation is essential in order to guarantee the maximum level of safety and functionality.
It is therefore strongly recommended that you have the chassis component installed at a WP Authorized Center.
