Folding Lock; Tyre Puncture; Transporting The Centurion Vario - Centurion VARIO Translation Of The Original Operating Instructions

Folding lock

You can equip your CENTURION VARIO with a fold-
ing lock (e) to protect it against theft.
For this purpose mount a holder for your folding lock
in the rear triangle (f).

Tyre puncture

Flat tyres are the most common cause of break-
downs when riding the CENTURION VARIO. How-
ever, as long as you have the necessary tools and a
spare tube or a repair kit (g), this need not mean the
end of your ride. When your front and rear wheels
are fixed with thru axles in the frame and the fork,
you only need two tyre levers and a pump.
The CENTURION VARIO is clearly heavier and big-
ger than your standard bicycle or electric bike. Ask
someone to help you, if needed.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before removing the front or rear wheel read
the chapters "Tyre puncture" and "How to use
the quick-releases" in your comprehensive
original CENTURION operating instructions
for trekking bikes. If you are not absolute-
ly sure or have any questions, contact your
CENTURION dealer.
Transporting the
CENTURION VARIO
To transport your CENTURION VARIO you can
use a bike carrier on your car. Due to its size the
CENTURION VARIO can only be transported on
bike carriers that are designed for a long wheel base
of 1.3 metres.
e
Read the operating instructions of your bike carri-
er and observe the maximum length of the bicycle
to be transported, the permissible payload and the
recommended, if not prescribed maximum speed.
If necessary, observe the required bearing load of
the tow hitch.
In case of inquiries, contact your CENTURION dealer.
f
WARNING
Make sure that there are no parts (pannier
bags, child seats etc.) on your CENTURION
VARIO which may come loose (h).
Check that your CENTURION VARIO is prop-
erly fastened before and at regular intervals
g during the journey. If the CENTURION VARIO
detaches from the carrier system, there is a
risk of endangering other road users.
