1 - SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

WARNING!
Always wear protective gloves and glasses while working on the wheels.
Note : We recommend that you contact a specialized mechanic for all the assembly, disassembly and all hub, rim and spoke replacement operations. Choose with him the most suitable interval of
inspections for you on the basis of the conditions of use and intensity of your activities (e.g. racing, rain, salted roads, muddy roads, cyclist's weight, etc.).
• Ensure that the wheel locking is adjusted correctly (see the "Quick Release" instruction sheet or, in the case of a pass-through pin, see the installation instructions provided by the bicycle or fork manu-
facturer). Bounce the bicycle on the ground to check for any loosened parts.
• Be sure that your tires are inflated to the correct pressure and that there is no damage whatsoever in the tread or sidewall.
• Be sure that none of the spokes are damaged or loose.
• Ensure that the wheels are perfectly centred. Turn the wheel in order to ensure that it does not waver up and down or side to side and that when it turns the disc does not touch the brake calliper pads.
• Ensure that the brake system and the brake calliper pads are in good condition.
• Test your brakes in the beginning of your ride to make sure that they are operating properly.
• Check all reflectors to make sure that they are clean, straight, and securely mounted.
• Learn and follow the local bicycle laws and regulations, and obey all traffic signals, signs and laws while you ride.
DO NOT RIDE YOUR BICYCLE IF IT DOES NOT PASS THIS PRE-RIDE TEST. CORRECT ANY CONDITION BEFORE YOU RIDE!
• Be sure that the periodic maintenance schedule is strictly followed (see Section 6).
• Always use original Fulcrum spare parts.

• 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 Fulcrum
• 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 taillight.
• When riding in wet conditions, remember that the stopping power of your brakes is greatly reduced and that the adherence of the tires on the ground is considerably reduced. Extra care is required when
riding your bicycle in wet conditions to avoid an accident.
• Fulcrum Wheels s.r.l. recommends always wearing a properly latched protective helmet which is approved for use in your country.
