6.2. General maintenance

1st turn; 2 months / <500km
2nd turn; 6 months (Small service) (or every 1000km)
3rd turn; 12 months (Major service) (or every 2000km)
Then every six months 1 small service, 1 major service until the end of
use.
With every minor service (annually) and on delivery;
>> The working of the brakes, gear and lighting must be
checked and / or adjusted
>> All bolts and nuts are checked to prevent vibration loosening.
Any stainless steel / aluminum parts is protected with vasaline spray.
>> The gear and possibly brake cables and chain must be
inspected for tension and adjustment.
