3 - SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
• Please be advised that if the maintenance and repair procedures provided in this
manual are not properly performed, or if the other instructions in this manual are not
followed, an accident could occur.
• Never make any modifications whatsoever to any component of any Campagnolo
®
product.
• Parts which have been bent or otherwise damaged in an accident or as a result of
any other impact must not be re-straightened. They must be replaced immediately
with original Campagnolo
parts.

• Wear clothes which are snug-fitting and which make you visible to traffic, such as
neon fluorescent or other bright colors.
• Avoid biking at night because it is more difficult for you to be seen by traffic, and it
is more difficult for you to see obstructions on the ground. If you do ride at night, you
should equip your bicycle with and use a headlight and a tail light.
• Never use a bicycle or bicycle component unless you are thoroughly familiar with its
use and maintenance history. "Used" equipment may have been misused and abused,
and can unexpectedly fail resulting in an accident.
• When riding in wet conditions, remember that the stopping power of your brakes
is greatly reduced and that the aderence of the tires on the ground is considerably
reduced. This makes it harder to control and stop your bicycle. Extra care is required
when riding your bicycle in wet conditions to avoid an accident.
• Always wear a properly fitted and fastened bicycle helmet that has been approved
by ANSI or SNELL.
