USER MANUAL IAN 306977 CRIVIT

• Always pay attention to other road users and follow the road traffic regulations.

• Choose the correct surface for roller skating. Surfaces should be smooth, clean, and dry.

• Make sure that the screws and bolts are secure before roller skating.

• Ensure that screws and bolts retain their self- locking properties.

• Do not modify the roller skates in such a way that poses a risk to your safety.

• Remove objects with sharp edges, such as small stones, that you may skate into.

• Always wear appropriate protective equip- ment (helmet, protectors for palms, wrists, elbows, and knees).

• Avoid areas with heavy traffic.

• Remain vigilant at all times and be careful.

• Avoid excessive speeds. As a rule of thumb: never skate faster than you can run.

• Exchange the brake stoppers and rollers regularly if they are worn.

• Always wear reflective clothing so that you are more visible to others.

• Do not use this product barefoot. Avoid property damage!

• Look after your roller skates.

• Avoid water, oil, potholes, and very rough surfaces. Roller skating tips Note: We recommend skating in skate parks and taking a skating course with an instructor. First attempts Initial position: Keep your feet shoulder-width apart and bend your knees slightly to avoid falling backwards. Accelerating: As a beginner, start by taking small steps forwards with your toes pointing outwards at an angle. Rolling: If you take a few steps in succession you will then have enough momentum to place your skates next to one another and roll. Bend your knees slightly while doing this. How to fall Important! Practise falling initially onto a soft surface using protective equipment without your roller skates. Always try to fall forwards, and never backwards! Fall onto your protective knee pads. Then catch yourself using the elbow and wrist protectors. Spread your fingers in order to avoid injury.20 Mastering curves At low speeds: Shift your weight as if riding a bicycle. Move your weight onto your left foot for a left curve and onto your right foot for a right curve. At high speeds: Cross your feet as in ice-skating (Figure B). Braking techniques Note: Practise various braking tech- niques on a smooth surface without traffic or pedestrians. Avoid slopes until you are confident about braking. Braking with your stopper (Figure C): If your skates are fitted with brake stoppers, remember to use them. Lift the heel of your skate slightly and press the brake into the ground. Shift your weight forwards slightly and bend your knees. The braking effect can be intensified if you bend your knees more and shift your weight further forwards, while increasing at the same time the pressure on the skate you are braking with. V-stopping (Figure D): If you have removed the brake stopper from your skates, you should use the ‘V-stop’ technique. To do this, make a sharp “V” shape with your toes and roll so that your feet meet. Setting the steering characteristic The steering characteristic of the article depends on the weight of the user and the adjustment of the steering. The steering can be adjusted by both nuts (9). For harder steering, tighten the nuts. In order to achieve softer steering, loosen the nuts slightly. ATTENTION! The thread must protrude at lease 3mm (approx. 2 threads) be- yond the self-locking nut as the steering will be set too softly otherwise. The rollers may hit the shoe and block if the incline is steep (Figure H). Note: Test and check the steering pro- perties of the product before each use. Testing the steering characteristic

1. Put on the roller skates and stand up.

2. Lean with your full body weight alternately to

the left and to the right.

3. The underside of the roller skate must not rest

on the wheels (Figure H).

4. If necessary, adjust the steering characteristic.

Putting the skates on Preparation from unpacking to putting the skates on Important! Ensure that your roller skates fit properly. Check all settings before each skating session, as they can alter over time and as a result of frequent use. Put your roller skate on like a normal shoe. To do this, use the laces (1) to find a secure fit. Thread the laces (1) in a cross fashion into the corresponding eyelets (Figure E). Tie the laces (1) at the end with a bow. Removing the skates Open the laces (1) on the skates and take the skates off. If necessary, loosen the laces first. Maintenance Changing the brake stopper (Figure F) Note: Worn brakes do not function properly.

• Use appropriate tools to replace the brakes on the tip of the shoe.

• When changing the toe stoppers, en- sure that they cannot rotate, and use new screws for the new stoppers.

1. Turn the roller skate upside down with the

rollers facing upwards and loosen the Phillips screw (8) on the brake stopper (7) from above with the appropriate Phillips screwdriver.

2. Insert the screw into the new brake stopper

and attach it to the bottom of the roller skate using the screw. Changing the rollers (Figure G) Important!

• Please refer to the section on tech- nical data: Rollers with a different diameter could change the handling characteristics and could mean a risk to the user in some circumstances. GB21GB

• Rollers wear out quickly Smooth surfaces extend the life of the rollers. Try harder rollers for harder surfaces and for use in difficult conditions.

• Roller skates pull to the left or right This can depend on the user. Exchange the rollers that show signs of one-sided wear.

• The brake is not working properly Change the brake if the angle between the brake and the ground is greater than 40 degrees, i.e. if the distance between the brake block and the ground becomes too great (more than 10mm). Rounded brakes need to be exchanged for new blocks.

• Brake problems Always leave sufficient distance to brake. The faster you skate the longer your braking distance. Ensure that you understand the bra- king techniques and practise them on a level ground.

• Ankles get turned frequently Make sure that the laces are tight enough.

• Problems with the footbed You may not be accustomed to this kind of movement. Check the areas that are causing your problems and re-adjust the skates. Try wearing thick socks. Disposal Dispose of the article and the packaging materi- als in accordance with current local regulations. Packaging materials such as foil bags are not suitable to be given to children. Keep the packa- ging materials out of the reach of children. Dispose of the products and the packaging in an environmentally friendly manner. The recycling code is used to identify various materials for recycling. The code consists of the recycling symbol – which is meant to reflect the recycling cycle – and a number which identifies the material. You should therefore not use the skates if the rollers cannot be fitted perfectly. Never install larger rollers than those originally used on the roller skates. Rollers become worn. The wear depends on many factors such as skating style, surfaces, the size and weight of the user, weather conditions, the roller material and its degree of hardness. It is therefore necessary to exchange them every so often.

1. Unscrew the bolts (6) on the centre of the

rollers with a suitable spanner.

2. Remove the roller (5) from the skate and

attach a new roller to the mount.

3. Screw the bolt (6) securely back onto the

screw thread. The roller should not be able to move laterally. Care and storage Roller skates are pieces of technical sports and leisure equipment and they therefore become worn depending on the skill and style of each skater. We recommend that you clean and dry the roller skates thoroughly after use. Remove any small stones and other objects that may have become trapped in your rollers. Remove any sharp edges that may have formed during skating. Always keep the skates in a dry place.

• Clean the ball bearings with a dry cloth after skating. Wet or damp ball bearings must be dried using a clean cloth. Lubricate the bearings from the outside with a suitable bearing grease to prevent the formation of external rust.

• Bearings are usually closed and cannot be lubricated inside. Worn ball bearings must be replaced. Trouble-shooting

• Rollers or ball bearings are noisy Dismantle the roller from the shoe, remove it, and clean the ball bearings with a clean cloth.22 Notes on the guarantee and service handling The product was produced with great care and under constant supervision.
