Maintenance And Adjustments To Be Done By Owner - Van Raam Twinny User Manual

Maintenance and adjustments to be done by owner

Below you can find the instructions for maintenance and adjustments that you can do
yourself on a regular basis, which will keep your bicycle in top condition.
Cleaning
The frame of the bicycle can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For areas that are dirtier you
can use a mild detergent. The wheels can be cleaned with a moist brush with plastic hairs
(not a wire brush!). The saddle and the grips can be cleaned with mild soap and water.
Do not use a pressure washer or a steam cleaner!
The right lubricant
The chain should be cleaned and maintained at regular intervals (every three months
approximately). Only use special chain grease or Tevlon spray. This is the only way to make
sure that the chain will run smoothly, will stay water resistant and will not rust.
1. Wipe the chain with a cloth.
2. Treat it with grease or spray.
3. Remove any excess lubricant with a rag.
Other parts should not be treated with a lubricant.
Inspection of the bicycle
It is recommended that the bicycle has a yearly inspection carried out by the dealer to
claim warranty. Please use the form "Form service, maintenance, modifications an
warranty claims" in the back of this manual. After 200 kilometres or after a period of two
months the bicycle should be inspected. In the event of technical trouble or faults, the
bicycle should be taken to the dealer for repairs immediately.
The replacing of safety-related components (especially frame, brakes, lighting, handlebars,
front fork and actuation) should be performed by the dealer. If you still decide you want to
replace components yourself, you are responsible for damage or harm due to incorrectly
fitted components. Only use original Van Raam spare parts, which you can buy at you
