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.
• Unscrew the axle bolts (2) on the inline skate
from the frame (1) using the two Allen keys
supplied.
• Remove the axle bolts and remove the
roller (3).
• Install the new roller into the frame and fix it
with the axle bolts.
after changing the rollers:
If the roller scrapes on the side after the
exchange, or if it touches the edge of the
frame, please do not use the roller! Please
ensure that all screws are still secure after the
first few minutes of use and that nothing has
become detached or loosened.
Re-install the rollers in order to ensure that
they are running smoothly and no sounds are
emitted from the bearings.
important!
new rollers make the inline skates
taller. this changes the distance to the
ground therefore also the braking cha-
racteristics. for this reason, you must
adjust or exchange the brake block.
Changing the ball bearing
(figure n)
note:
the quality of the ball bearing and its
maintenance are extremely important
for the smooth running of the inline
skates.
• Remove the roller (1) as described above
(pages 13-14).
• Push a bearing (3) out by pressing on a
spacer (2) with an Allen key and then
remove the spacer.
• Push the other bearing out by pressing on it
with an Allen key.
• Push in a new bearing. Turn the roller
around, insert the spacer, and then push in a
second new bearing.
• Re-attach the roller to the frame, as
described in the paragraph 'exchanging the
rollers'.
Care, storage
Inline 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 inline 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 inline skates in a dry
place.
• Clean your 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 frame, remove
it, and clean the ball bearing with a clean
cloth.
• rollers wear quickly
Smooth surfaces extend the life of the rollers.
Try harder rollers for harder surfaces and for
use in difficult conditions.
• rollers block
Do not fasten the axle bolts too tightly.
• Skate pulls to the left or right
This can depend on the user. Exchange the
rollers that show signs of one-sided wear.
