Koga GENERAL INSTRUCTION - Manual (Page 24)

Maintenance, usage and
guarantee conditions for
Koga wheel sets
Maintenance
• Regularly disassemble the
quick release, clean and grease
the shaft (Also see Koga
instruction booklet p. 10)
• Never clean the wheels with
a pressure washer. Only use
water with detergent. Do not
use an abrasive sponge. Dry
off the wheel after washing it
or, or rain, in order to prevent
oxidation.
• In order to retain optimal
braking power, avoid traces of
oil or grease etc. on the brake
surface.
• Regularly clean the brake
surface of your rims with
grease-free products.
• Check the brake blocks for
foreign particles (stones, bits of
metal etc.) Also check the state
of the brake blocks and replace
them regularly.
• When the brake blocks make
contact with a new rim, this
may cause noise. This noise
will disappear after a certain
running in period.
Important Information for
your safety during use
• Make no adjustments
whatsoever to your wheel
• Check the correct functioning
of the quick releases before
every ride.
• Every wheel is only intended
for the specifically indicated
usage. For example: a race
wheel for the road, MTB wheel
for Cross Country circuit, etc.
• Check the degree of wear
on the brake walls. Replace
the rim if it is worn. (Also see
Koga instruction booklet p. 11)
Inspect the inside of the rim
(underneath the rim ribbon) and
the outside of the rim for traces
of metal fatigue or wear: worn
in brake walls, tears in the side
walls or at the spoke nipple.
• Respect the prescribed spoke
tension. A different spoke
tension can create tension
concentrations or can weaken
it. Contact your recognised
Koga dealer for this.
• Consult your Koga dealer for
every defect of your product.
• Not respecting the
recommendations is at the
user‘s risk and will cancel the
validity of Koga‘s guarantee.
