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.

3.2 Maintenance activities
3.2.1 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.
3.2.2 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!
3.2.3 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.
3.2.4 Plastic parts
The plastic parts must be checked regularly for damage and breakage.
In the case of breakage, do not use the product but immediately replace the part concerned with an
original part, in order to guarantee the safety of the user.
