Take a look at the brake pads. Starting to look

worn or not hitting the wheel rim squarely?

Time to have the dealer adjust or replace them.

Carefully check the control cables and cable

housings. Any rust? Kinks? Fraying? If so, have

your dealer replace them.

Squeeze each adjoining pair of spokes on

either side of each wheel between your thumb

andindexnger.Dotheyallfeelaboutthe

same? If any feel loose, have your dealer

check the wheel.

Check to make sure that all parts and acces-

sories are still secure, and tighten any that are

not. When replacement parts are necessary,

be sure to use factory authorized replacement

parts from your local authorized Dahon dealer.

Check the frame, particularly in the area

around all tube joints; the handlebars; the

stem; and the seatpost for any deep scratches,

cracks or discoloration. These are signs of

stress-caused fatigue and indicate that a part

is at the end of its useful life and needs to be

replaced.

WARNING: Like any mechanical

device, a bicycle and its components

are subject to wear and stress. Different

materials and mechanisms wear or fatigue

from stress at different rates and have

different life cycles. If a component’s life

cycle is exceeded, the component can

suddenly and catastrophically fail, causing

serious injury or death to the rider. Scratch-

es, cracks, fraying and discoloration are

signs of stress-caused fatigue and indicate

that a part is at the end of its useful life and

needs to be replaced. While the materials

and workmanship of your bicycle or of

individual components may be covered by a

warranty for a specied period of time by

the manufacturer, this is no guarantee that

the product will last the term of the

warranty. Product life is often related to the

kind of riding you do and to the treatment to

which you submit the bicycle. The bicycle’s

warranty is not meant to suggest that the

bicycle cannot be broken or will last forever.

It only means that the bicycle is covered

subject to the terms of the warranty.
