• If you apply excessive pressure to the front and/or rear brake, the wheel may lock and the bicycle may suddenly fall forward, putting you at risk of serious injury.
• Never touch the disc brake rotor, even when the bicycle is stationary. The rotor itself may be very hot, and could cause serious burns. You are also reminded to take great
care when the bicycle is moving, as the rotor is sharp and could cause serious injury to the fingers if inserted into
the rotor openings while in motion (Fig.1).
• If any of the following conditions occur, stop using the bicycle immediately and consult a qualified mechanic or
a Campagnolo Pro Shop (as indicated in Chapter 2 - INFORMATION AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT):
- Any cracks or damage are visible on the disc, even if these are minimal
- The disc is worn beyond the prescribed limits (see Chapter 5, OPERATION and ADJUSTMENTS)
- The brake system is leaking fluid
Failure to observe the above indications could lead to accidents, physical injury or even death.
• If leaked oil comes into contact with the eyes, it may cause irritation: rinse with water and seek immediate
medical attention.
• If leaked oil comes into contact with the skin, it may cause irritation: wash thoroughly using soap and water.
• Inhalation or ingestion of mineral oil vapours may cause nausea. Cover your nose and mouth and immediately

go to a well-ventilated area. If necessary, seek professional medical attention.
• Never make any modifications to any Campagnolo
product.
®
• Any bent or damaged parts following impact or accidents must be replaced with original Campagnolo
parts.
®
• Wear close fitting and highly visible clothing (fluorescent colours or light colours).
• Avoid cycling at night because it is difficult for others to see you and obstacles on the road are difficult to distinguish. If using the bicycle at night, ensure that it is fitted with
suitable lights and reflectors.
• Never use a bicycle or component with which you are not completely familiar or the use and maintenance operations of which are unknown. Second hand parts may have
been used incorrectly or may be ruined, therefore they could break unexpectedly, causing an accident.
• If the bicycle is used in the wet remember that the braking power and tyre grip decrease significantly, making it more difficult to control. Therefore pay closer attention when
riding on wet surfaces in order to prevent possible accidents.
• Always wear a correctly-fastened protective helmet and ensure that this is ANSI or SNELL approved.
