Carbon frame

WARNING Danger from falls and accidents
A frame made of carbon may suffer damage which is not visible as a result of a fall, accident or exter-
nal forces. This can lead to dangerous riding situations, falls, accidents and material damage.
• Have your frame checked by a specialist retailer authorised by GHOST.
• In the case of uncertainties or ambiguities, have your frame sent to GHOST for a check.
NOTE
:
If you have any questions after falls and accidents, you can also contact a bicycle specialist. In Germany you
can obtain corresponding contact addresses from your local Chamber of Commerce and
Industry (IHK).

Parking the Bike safely

WARNING Risk of injury from your bike falling over
A bike that is supported by its kickstand or leaning against a house wall or garden fence, for example,
can fall over when subjected to a small force. This may cause injury to individuals or animals and
damage other objects.
• You should only park your bike where it does not represent an obstacle or nuisance to other people
or will not damage other objects.
• Keep children and animals away from your parked bike.
• Please do not park your bike next to items which are easily damaged, such as cars and similar
items.

3. Turn the handlebars so that they point slightly to the left.
4. Lean your bike carefully on its left side until it is in a stable position.
5. Check the stability of your bike:
