CAUTION
The CENTURION VARIO is clearly heavi-
er and bigger than your standard bicycle or
electric bike. Ask someone for help, if neces-
sary, when you have to lift your CENTURION
VARIO. Be sure to lift in a way that it does not
hurt your back.
NOTICE
Large-diameter frame tubes are at risk of be-
ing crushed due to clamps that are not de-
signed for that size!
Pull the brake lever and secure it with a strong
elastic strap to prevent your CENTURION
VARIO from rolling (a).
Service and maintenance
Your CENTURION dealer will have assembled and
adjusted your CENTURION VARIO ready for use
when you come to collect it. Nevertheless, your
CENTURION VARIO needs regular servicing (b).
Have your local CENTURION dealer do the sched-
uled maintenance work. This is the only way to en-
a
sure the durable functioning of all components.
The bike will be due for its first service after 100 to
300 kilometres, 5 to 15 hours of initial use or four to
six weeks. The CENTURION VARIO must be ser-
viced, because in this initial "break-in" period of the
CENTURION VARIO the spokes can slightly lose
tension or the gears may go out of adjustment. This
"break-in" period is unavoidable. Therefore, remem-
b
ber to make an appointment with your CENTURION
dealer to have your new CENTURION VARIO in-
spected. This first service is very important for both
functioning and durability of your CENTURION
VARIO.
The intended use of the CENTURION VARIO in-
cludes regular servicing and the timely replacement
of worn out parts, e.g. brake pads
c
and brake cables (d), and therefore has an influence
on the liability for material defects and the warranty,
as well.
After the "break-in" period you should have your
CENTURION VARIO serviced regularly by your
CENTURION dealer. If you ride a great deal on poor
road surfaces and in adverse weather conditions,
the service intervals will shorten.
