GENERAL WARNING
Like any sport, bicycling involves risk of injury and damage. By choosing to ride a
bicycle, you assume the responsibility for that risk, so you need to know — and to
practice — the rules of safe and responsible riding and of proper use and maintenance.
Proper use and maintenance of your bicycle reduces risk of injury.
This Manual contains many “Warnings” and “Cautions” concerning the consequences of
failure to maintain or inspect your bicycle and of failure to follow safe cycling practices.
The combination of the safety alert symbol and the word WARNING indicates a
potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or
death.
The combination of the safety alert symbol and the word CAUTION indicates a
potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury, or is an alert against unsafe practices.
The word CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a situation which, if
not avoided, could result in serious damage to the bicycle or the voiding of your warranty.
Many of the Warnings and Cautions say “you may lose control and fall”. Because any
fall can result in serious injury or even death, we do not always repeat the warning of
possible injury or death.
Because it is impossible to anticipate every situation or condition which can occur while
riding, this Manual makes no representation about the safe use of the bicycle under
all conditions. There are risks associated with the use of any bicycle which cannot be
predicted or avoided, and which are the sole responsibility of the rider.
The described possible consequences will not be repeated in the BERGAMONT general
manual every time one of the symbols appears.
The present general manual together with the detailed owner’s manuals complies
with the requirements of the EN ISO standards 4210-2 for city and trekking, young
adult, mountain and racing bicycles as well as the EN ISO standard 8098 for bicycles
for young children.
It is essential to also observe the detailed BERGAMONT owners manuals and the
manuals of the component manufacturers. For additional information on your bicycle
and the web links for the component manufacturers, please visit the manual pages of
the bike brand you have purchased via your Quick Start Manual.
