1.4 Notes on torques
WARNING
Material fatigue due to tightening screw joints incorrectly.
Risk of accident and injury!
x Do not allow your child to use the balance bike if you find any
loose screw joints.
x Screw joints must be properly tightened with a torque wrench.
x Screw joints must be tightened using the correct torques.
To correctly tighten the screw joints, the applicable torques must be observed.
This requires a torque wrench with an appropriate adjustment range.
x If you have no experience with using torque wrenches or do not own a suitable
torque wrench, have the screw joints checked by your dealer.
The correct torque for a screw joint is dependent on the material and diameter of the
screw, as well as the material and design of the component.
x If tightening screw joints, check whether the balance bike is equipped with
aluminium components (see the specifications data sheet provided by the dealer).
x Observe the specific torques for aluminium components.
Individual components on the balance bike are labelled with torque specifications or
insertion depth markings.
x Follow these specifications and markings.
