General Note On Assembly And Set-Up; Tire Pressure; Seatpost; Tightening Torques - PINARELLO Nytro Road Instruction Manual

6. GENERAL NOTE ON ASSEMBLY AND
SET-UP
Your Pinarello Nytro bicycle is a high-performance, complex machine. For this reason, the
assembly and set-up require specific knowledge of the cycle and its technologies, as well as
special tools and mechanical skills, available only from authorised Pinarello dealers.
This manual is not intended as a comprehensive use, repair, maintenance or
service manual. Please contact your Pinarello dealer for all service, repairs
or maintenance. Authorised Pinarello dealers provide highly qualified and
trained personnel and updated documentation concerning components and
the pedal assist system.
The Pinarello Nytro frame does not require any preliminary or post purchase
preparation. Do not remove, drill, or modify any parts of the frame.
Failure to follow this instruction could result in sudden breakage, personal
injuries, and will void the warranty.

TIRE PRESSURE

Check for and maintain correct tire pressure. In any case, we recommend that you adjust the
pressure to your skills and driving sensations. It is impossible to identify a single correct adjustment
of tire pressures for each individual user, because both the user and the terrain are important
factors that have to be taken into account for this kind of determination.
Especially when using the bike for the first time, we suggest that you ask your trusted Pinarello
dealer for advice on correct tire pressure.

SEATPOST

DO NOT cut or alter the seatpost in any way. Make sure that it does not protrude beyond the
minimum insertion point - marked MAX and indicated with vertical and dotted lines. If you find
that proper positioning of the saddle would mean extending the seatpost beyond this limit, you
will need to purchase a longer seatpost.

TIGHTENING TORQUES

The maximum permitted tightening torques are marked on the components themselves. Always
tighten to the recommended torque. If torque indications are missing or illegible due to wear,
refer to the component manufacturers' manuals or contact your Pinarello dealer.

7. GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Your Pinarello Nytro bicycle is a high quality product. Nevertheless, and precisely for this reason,
it requires continuous correct care and regular maintenance by a specialist to keep it in perfect
operation over the long term.
Read your TQ manual for instructions on cleaning and maintaining the pedal assistance system,
so that the system remains in perfect long-term working order.

GENERAL CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Dirt, sweat, sea salt and salt from winter roads will damage your pedelec, meaning that the bike
and its components require regular cleaning to protect them from corrosion.
Never clean your bike with pressure washers. These force water into seals and bearings, washing
out lubricants and thus increasing friction on moving parts, causing rapid corrosion and wear.
The better way to clean your bike is to use a gentle flow of water and a sponge or brush. This will
also enable close inspection of the bike, for early detection of signs of wear, fatigue or damage.
After cleaning, check the chain, and if necessary lubricate it with the appropriate products.
Before cleaning the pedelec or its components, we recommend that you
remove the drivepack. If you do not remove the drivepack, it is essential that
you remove the battery. This prevents unintended operation of the motor
which could result in injury or damage.
During cleaning, pay attention to any cracks, scratches, altered paint or
deformations of materials in the components. If in doubt, have the bike
inspected by your trusted Pinarello dealer, who can provide assistance, and
where necessary, replace the damaged components.
Only use products specific to bicycle care. Aggressive, non-neutral degreasers
or chemical detergents could cause cosmetic, surface damage, or worse,
alter the characteristics of important components such as moving parts and
bearings.
The motor action leads to faster chain wear than on regular muscle-powered
bikes. Before each ride, inspect the chain for wear.
Do not apply cleaning and care products or chain lubricant to the brake pads
or discs. This could reduce the braking performance and pose a serious safety
hazard.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

We recommend that you have your trusted Pinarello dealer check the bike periodically. An
assembly check should be carried out after the first few kilometres, for purposes of adjustment
after the components have settled in. After that, we recommend that the bike be inspected
periodically (approximately once a year).
These inspections enable the identification of any worn components and the return of the bike to
perfect working order.
