Care and maintenance
Cleaning
The brake internal areas must be dry and free of dirt. If the
wheels are removed, the protective cap prevents dirt entering
from outside.
Wear of the brake callipers, however, also gives rise to dust that
clogs the inside.
If necessary, please clean using a dry and grease-free brush.
If you want to wash your Chariot with water, please leave the
wheels in place, so that as little water as possible gets into the
drum brakes. Nevertheless, after washing with water you should
carry out a brake test, since contact with water cannot always
be prevented and moisture reduces braking effi ciency.
Brake cables
Before each journey check that there are no kinks in or other
damage to the brake cables.
Screw connections
After the fi rst 100 km, check that all screws and nuts are
tight. If necessary, retighten.
After this, carry out a check that the screws and nuts are tight
at regular intervals.
