Diamondback 7th Edition Owner's Manual page 2

GENERAL WARNING:
Like any sport, bicycling involves risk of injury and
damage. By choosing to ride a bicycle, you assume the
responsibility for that risk, so you need to know — and
to practice — the rules of safe and responsible riding
and of proper use and maintenance. Proper use and
maintenance of your bicycle reduces risk of injury.
This Manual contains many "Warnings" and "Cautions"
concerning the consequences of failure to maintain or inspect
your bicycle and of failure to follow safe cycling practices.
• The combination of the
the word WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious
injury or death.
• The combination of the
the word CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury, or is an alert against unsafe practices.
• The word CAUTION used without the safety alert
symbol indicates a situation which, if not avoided, could
result in serious damage to the bicycle or the voiding of
your warranty.
Many of the Warnings and Cautions say "you may
lose control and fall". Because any fall can result in
serious injury or even death, we do not always repeat the
warning of possible injury or death.

Because it is impossible to anticipate every situation or
condition which can occur while riding, this Manual makes
no representation about the safe use of the bicycle under
all conditions. There are risks associated with the use of
any bicycle which cannot be predicted or avoided, and
which are the sole responsibility of the rider.
