SAFETY INSPECTION - MAINTENANCE
Your product is a precision product - proper care will ensure proper function. Regular cleaning will reveal
loose or worn parts. DO NOT over tighten parts or hardware, as doing so can damage the frame. DO
NOT operate the product if there are any missing parts or hardware. You should have a dealer or qualified
professional perform maintenance on your product at least once every six months, or immediately
if you notice any item needing service. Frequent use likely means that your product will require more
maintenance than we suggest. In anticipation of and after any excessive use, we recommend that you
perform a complete safety inspection including all items.
