Service; Service Intervals - Arīv MELD Manual Del Usuario

WARNING: We highly recommend that you carry a spare inner tube when you ride your bike, unless the bike is
fitted with tubeless tires. Patching a tube is an emergency repair. If you do not apply the patch correctly or apply
several patches, the tube can fail, resulting in possible tube failure, which could cause you to lose control and fall.
Replace a patched tube as soon as possible.

5. Service

WARNING: Many bicycle service and repair tasks require special knowledge and tools. Do not begin any
adjustments or service on your bicycle until you have learned from your ARĪV eBike ASP or have viewed the videos
on www.arivmobility.com how to properly complete them. Improper adjustment or service may result in damage to
the bicycle or in an accident which can cause serious injury or death.
WARNING: Do not disassemble any electrical components including the battery and motor.
WARNING: Before performing ANY service inspection or maintenance on your electric bicycle you should first
remove the battery. Failure to do so could result in the bike turning on unexpectedly causing serious damage or
injury.
A. Service Intervals
Some service and maintenance can and should be performed by the owner, and require no special tools or knowledge beyond
what is presented in this manual. Go to www.street.ARĪV EBIKE.com to watch the service videos.
The following are examples of the type of service you could perform yourself. All other service, maintenance and repair should
be performed by your local ARĪV eBike ASP or your local bicycle shop using the correct tools and procedures specified by the
manufacturer.
CAUTION: If you are uncomfortable performing any of the operations below please visit your local ARĪV eBike ASP
or your local bike shop.
1. Break-in Period: Your bike will last longer and work better if you break it in before riding it hard. Control cables and wheel
spokes may stretch or "seat" when a new bike is first used and may require readjustment by your local ASP or bicycle shop.
Your Mechanical Safety Check (Section 1.C) will help you identify some things that need readjustment. But even if everything
seems fine to you, it's best to take your bike back to the ARĪV eBike ASP for a checkup. ARĪV eBike ASPs typically suggest
you bring the bike in for a 30-day checkup. Another way to judge when it's time for the first checkup is to bring the bike in
after three to five hours of hard off-road use, or about 10 to 15 hours of on-road or more casual off-road use.
2. Before every ride: Mechanical Safety Check (Section 1.C)
3. After every long or hard ride; if the bike has been exposed to water or grit; or at least every 160 kilometers (100 miles): lightly
lubricate the chain's rollers with a good quality bicycle chain lubricant. Wipe off excess lubricant with a lint-free cloth.
Lubrication is a function of climate.
4. After every long or hard ride or after every 10 to 20 hours of riding:
• Squeeze the front brake and rock the bike forward and back. Everything feel solid? If you feel a clunk with each forward or
backward movement of the bike, you probably have a loose headset.
• Lift the front wheel off the ground and swing it from side to side. Feel smooth? If you feel any binding or roughness in the
steering, you may have a tight headset.
• Carefully check the control cables and cable housings. Any rust? Kinks? Fraying?
• Squeeze each adjoining pair of spokes on either side of each wheel between your thumb and index finger. Do they all feel
about the same?
• Check the tires for excess wear, cuts or bruises.
• check the wheel rims for excess wear, dings, dents and scratches.
• Check to make sure that all parts and accessories are still secure, and tighten any which are not.
• Check the frame, particularly in the area around all tube joints; the handlebars; the stem; and the seat post for any deep
scratches, cracks or discoloration. These are signs of stress-caused fatigue and indicate that a part is at the end of its useful life
and needs to be replaced.
WARNING: Like any mechanical device, a bicycle and its components are subject to wear and stress. Different

materials and mechanisms wear or fatigue from stress at different rates and have different life cycles. If a
