Schedule 1 . Lubrication - Diamondback SHEPPARD CYCLES Owner's Manual

Correct routine maintenance of your new bike will ensure:
. Smooth running . Longer lasting components . Safer riding . Lower running costs
Every time you ride your bicycle it's condition changes. The more you ride, the more frequently maintenance will be required.
We recommend you spend a little time on regular maintenance tasks. The following schedules are a useful guide and, by
referring to Part 5 of this manual, you should be able to accomplish most tasks. If you require assistance we recommend you see
your specialist bicycle dealer.

Note: The frequency of maintenance should increase with lots of usage and use in wet or dusty conditions.
Do not over lubricate - remove excess lubricant to prevent dirt build up.
WARNING: Many bicycle service and repair tasks require special knowledge and tools. Do not begin any adjustments
or service on your bicycle if you have the slightest doubt about your ability to properly complete them. Improper
adjustment or service can result in damage to the bicycle or in an accident which can cause serious injury or death. Ask
