Lubrication
Maintenance
WARNING:
Do not over lubricate. If oil gets on the wheel rims or the brake shoes, it will
reduce brake performance and a longer distance to stop the bicycle will be necessary. Injury
to the rider or to others can occur.
The chain can throw excess oil onto the wheel rim. Wipe excess oil off the chain.
Keep all oil off the surfaces of the pedals where your feet rest.
Using soap and hot water, wash all oil off the wheel rims, the brake shoes, the pedals, and the tires.
Rinse with clean water and dry completely before you ride the bicycle.
Using a light machine oil (20W) and the following guidelines, lubricate the bicycle:

Put one drop of oil on each roller of the chain. Wipe all
excess oil off the chain.
Lay the bicycle on its left side. Slowly turn the rear
