Repairs And Maintenance To Be Done By Dealer - Van Raam Tavara Balance User Manual

The right lubricant
The chain should be cleaned and maintained at regular intervals (every 3 months
approximately). Only use special chain grease or Tevlon spray. This is the only way
to make sure that the chain will run smoothly, will stay water resistant and will not
rust.
Wipe the chain with a cloth, treat it with grease or spray and remove any excess
lubricant with a rag.
Other parts should not be treated with a lubricant.
Checking the rim
Due to the combined action of the brake and the rims, not only the brake lining but
also the condition of the rim is important. For this reason the rim should be checked at
regular intervals, for example when you inflate the tyres. The presence of fine cracks
in the spoke punches or deformation of the rim when there is higher air pressure,
indicate more serious wear and tear. In that case the rim should be replaced,
because it can lead to loss of brake function or even a crack in the rim, which can
lead to all kinds of dangerous consequences.

Repairs and maintenance to be done by dealer

It is recommended that the bicycle has a yearly inspection carried out by the dealer.
In the event of technical trouble or faults, the bicycle should be taken to the dealer for
repairs immediately.
The replacing of safety-related components (especially frame, brakes, illumination,
handle bars, front fork and actuation) should be performed by the dealer.
If you still decide you want to replace components yourself, you are responsible for
damage or harm due to incorrectly fitted components.
Only use original spare parts, which you can buy at you dealer. If requested the
dealer will make the necessary information on repair and maintenance available.
