cuts ` bruises
cleaning & caring for your vibe.
vibe fabric
brush off dirt. more intense cleaning can be
done by hand, in warm water, using a mild
natural soap. do not use detergents or
bleach. air dry.
vibe frame
brush dirt off frame and wheels regularly.
clean with a non-abrasive household cleaner
and soft cloth. wash off sand and salt after
visiting beach. always dry frame if wet.
vibe tyre and inner tube
the valve is car-size. manually inflate to 22psi
max. releasing air gives a softer ride but lower
pressure reduces tread life. new inner tubes
and tyres are generally available (30cm x 5cm
low profile tyre) from your dealer, cycle or
specialist wheel shops. standard tyre kits can
repair punctures. a flat tyre can result from grit
holding the valve open; to check: inflate tyre,
deflate rapidly, and re-inflate. tyres and tubes
are not under warranty. do not over inflate.
tyre pressure is affected by heat especially
when inside parked cars.
vibe rubber covers and grip
take care to avoid damage to foam
rubber. foam rubber is not under warranty.
vibe moving parts
excessive wear can reduce effectiveness
and safety. parts may need periodic lubrication. inspect essential components for: fraying
– especially webbing straps and safety harnesses. wear – locks, snap fasteners, tyres,
plastic parts, zips and moving parts. safety
–locks must not be loose.
