PAGE 34, Lighting

In many countries an effective lighting system is a legal requirement for using a bicycle on public roads. See page 10 for more

details.

To switch on the handlebar light just press the two buttons once. Another press onto the buttons will switch on the flash light

mode. To switch it off press buttons again.

The tail light is actuated by a little switch at the bottom of the saddle.

If the light becomes weaker the batteries may be empty.

How to change the batteries

To change the batteries the caps at both ends of the handlebar have to dismantled with a Phillips-tip screwdriver. The tail light

has a lid underneath the saddle which can be opened for a battery change.

About the light handlebar

At the moment of printing this manual the light handlebar was not available yet. So it be happen that your Frog is equipped with

a standard battery light which is mounted on the handlebar.

Danger: Never use your bike if the lights aren’t working! You will be very easily overlooked by other road users. You could also

end up not seeing road hazards. Serious accidents could result!

Danger: Accessories fitted after sale can affect the functioning of your bike. You could even lose control of the bike when riding.

Always consult your dealer before you add any accessories to your bike. Your dealer will have available many accessories developed

specifically for the Birdy. You will find plenty of information about this in this handbook. In particular, stem and handlebar should

always be changed in a specialist workshop.

PAGE 36, General care and inspection tips

The bicycle you now own is a high-quality product. When you collect your bike from your dealer, he will have assembled it ready to

ride. Nevertheless, like any other vehicle, your bike needs regular care and must be serviced at intervals by your dealer. Only in

this way can the reliable and safe functioning of all parts be guaranteed, so that you will be able to cycle safely and enjoyably for

many years.

Caution! Only attempt maintenance work for which you have the necessary expertise and the correct tools.

Washing and care

Dried sweat, mud and road salt from winter riding, or sea air, can all attack your bike. You should carry out regular cleaning and

corrosion protection of all parts of your bike.

Easiest is to blow away all dirt and deposits with a steam cleaner. This express cleaning method has serious drawbacks: the very

strong, high-pressure water jet can push past bearing seals and reach the inside of bearings, where it can displace lubricant and

increase friction. In the longer term, the bearing surfaces can be destroyed and the bearing will refuse to turn smoothly. Steam

cleaners also often loosen frame stickers.

Caution! Do not clean your bike with a very strong water jet or with a steam cleaner.

Far more appropriate is to wash the bike with a gentle flow of water, or from a bucket, using a damp cloth or a large paintbrush –

for example a wallpaper brush. Hand-washing has another beneficial side-effect: you can detect early signs of damaged paint-

work, worn-out components, loose bolts, slack spokes or other problems. As you carry out this regular cleaning you should check

tyre pressure, functioning of brakes and lights, and generally check the bike for damage or problems.

Caution: As you clean, check for cracks, scratches, any deformed material or discoloration. If in any doubt contact your dealer.

Replace any damaged parts immediately, and touch up any damaged paintwork.

When the bike has dried, you should treat the paintwork and metal surfaces with wax polish. Also protect spokes, hubs, nuts and

bolts etc with a wax film. Polish the waxed surfaces with a soft cloth, so that they shine, and water will bead and run off.
