SAFETY INSPECTION - MAINTENANCE
Your product is a precision product - proper care will ensure proper function. Regular
cleaning will reveal loose or worn parts. DO NOT over tighten parts or hardware,
as doing so can damage the frame. DO NOT operate the product if there are any
missing parts or hardware. You should have a dealer or qualified professional perform
maintenance on your product at least once every six months, or immediately if you
notice any item needing service. Frequent use likely means that your product will
require more maintenance than we suggest. In anticipation of and after any excessive
use, we recommend that you perform a complete safety inspection including all items.
