3.2 Maintenance activities
3.2.1 Frame
The frame is powder-coated. To prevent it from
corrosion, it is 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 pneumatic 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 Brake
• Regularly check the brake for any wear and whether
if it is working properly. Use the instructions shown in
chapter 2.2.1 to adjust the brake.
• Replace the brake pads when they show extensive
wear. Attention: Dirty brake pads can lead to
accidents! The brake pads must not come into
contact with substances like oil, grease or fuel
3.2.5 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
