1) Inspect all suspension bolts and tighten if necessary to required torque settings. If unsure, take your
bicycle to your Authorized Giant Retailer immediately for inspection.
2) Do not use high-pressure water sources to wash or rinse your bicycle. Doing so can displace any
lubricants that are present, as well as possibly forcing water and/or contaminants into the bearings that
can harm the pivot and bearing, reduce performance, and cause premature wear. Use only low
pressure water, or a bucket of water with a sponge and a soft nylon bristle brush and mild soap to
clean the frame and components. We would recommend that you do not use dish washing liquid due to
its high salt content that can cause corrosion. If using bicycle specific cleaners/degreasers please
check the manufacturer’s recommended amount of time to leave the cleaner on your bike. Prolonged
exposure to some such cleaners can damage the surface finish of your frame and or components.
