Your balance bike has a variety of parts that require particular attention, especially with
regard to their exposure to dirt, dust or moisture, or simply because of their relevance to
safety. It is therefore in your own interest to observe the inspection intervals.
9�2 Checking the screw joints
x Lift the balance bike around 5 cm and carefully let it bounce on the ground. Listen
for unusual noises.
x If you hear unusual noises, tighten the relevant screw joints
(see the “Basics / Notes on torques” chapter).
x Have loose screw joints tightened by your dealer if you lack the necessary
expertise or the tools required.
9�3 Checking the frame and front fork
x Check the frame and front fork for deformation, cracks or discolouration
(visual inspection).
x If the frame or the front fork is deformed, cracked or discoloured, have it
checked by your dealer immediately and do not allow your child to ride the
balance bike.
