official websites.
SYMBOLS
This document contains different icons that refer to use, maintenance and assembly warnings. Carefully read the
meaning of each one to prevent improper handling or hazardous situations that may result in serious personal injuries
or fatal accidents.
SAFETY
DANGER: refers to a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will lead to serious injuries or even
a fatal accident.
WARNING: refers to a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could lead to serious injuries
oreven a fatal accident.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: refers to a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could cause
serious injuries due to electric shock or even death.
ATTENTION: refers to a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could cause minor or moderate
injuries.
RISK OF SHORT CIRCUIT: refers to a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could cause
short circuits in the electrical components. Short circuits may cause damage to the electrical
components and fire.
TOOLS
TYPE OF ASSEMBLY COMPOUND
FLAT WRENCH
OIL: light lubrication for elements such as chains and cables.
ALLEN KEY
GREASE: assembly grease.
PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER
ADHESIVE: use medium strength thread lock.
TORX KEY
CARBON PASTE: assembly paste used to increase the friction of the carbon elements.
Adhesive is used to fasten bolts and make sure that they do not come loose due to
vibrations when using the bicycle. Add a drop of thread lock to the tip of the screw thread
in all cases. Never apply more than one drop around the thread, since this will make
itvery hard to remove the bolt.
TIGHTENING TORQUES: on one side of each tool symbol, the
tightening torque will be indicated in newton metre.
10Nm

02 BH WARRANTY
BH BIKES undertakes to offer long-lasting bicycles, in compliance with the highest standards of quality.
Therefore,inaddition to the statutory warranty, BH BIKES offers an additional coverage and warranty. Thissection
defines the different types of warranty and the process that must be followed to register for the additional
"LifeTime Frame" warranty.
STATUTORY WARRANTY
The statutory warranty covers the original purchaser in the event of manufacturing defects and/or non-conformities.
This warranty applies to frames and components manufactured by BH BIKES. The warranty period will be established
according to the current laws of the country where the bicycle was purchased, and will start on the date of purchase.
During this period, the holder of the warranty will be entitled to have all manufacturing defects repaired or replaced
free of charge, including the reimbursement of transport expenses and any losses caused as a result of this.
Differentconditions must be met in order to be covered by the warranty:
• This warranty does not affect the consumer's applicable rights, according to the current laws in each country.
• Faulty bicycles or parts will be covered by warranty upon the decision of our Technical Service.
• The warranty does not include the replacement of parts prone to wear and arising from normal use of thebicycle.
• The warranty does not cover defects or broken parts due to improper use of the bicycle, use for competitions,
mounting of non-original accessories or improper handling and incorrect maintenance work.
• The warranty does not apply if the inspection before delivery and the corresponding inspection intervals included
in this document have not been carried out, observed, documented as required and stamped by an authorised
BH dealer.
• Should the repair not be satisfactory and not ensure that the optimum conditions are met according to the
intended use, the holder of the warranty will be entitled to request the replacement of the purchased item
orfaulty part with one of identical characteristics, or to receive a refund of the amount paid for the damaged
item or part.
• The warranty period will be interrupted during the repairs or, in the event of replaced items or components,
itwill be renewed.
• Any claim against this warranty shall expire six months after the end of the warranty validity period.
• All warranty claims must be processed by an authorised dealer.
• Geographical scope: refer to the User Manual or www. BHbikes.com
LIFETIME FRAME WARRANTY
Through its authorised stores, BH Bikes provides the original buyer with a commercial policy to cover any manufacturing
defects in frames for a period beyond that specified in the product's statutory warranty, pursuant to the following
clauses:
1. The LIFETIME warranty solely applies to BH frames and bikes that are sold through stores that are authorised
by BHBIKES EUROPE S.L.
• The buyer must register the LIFETIME warranty online, with the information duly completed, within 30calendar
days of the purchase date, as it appears on the invoice issued by the authorised store.
• This warranty cannot be transferred to subsequent buyers and it is cancelled when the bicycle is sold
toathird party. Original buyer means the individual who registers the warranty at the time of the purchase;
the commercial warranty cannot be transferred to third parties who are not the original buyer.
• It shall be compulsory to have the bicycle serviced in an establishment that is authorised by BHBIKES
EUROPE and according to the instructions in the user manual.
2. The LIFETIME warranty does not cover:
• The rear swingarms of the double suspension models, fork, kids' bikes, defects and/or fading of the original
paint, or rust caused by natural deterioration.
• Defects or breakages resulting from an accident or improper and/or negligent use of the bicycle.
• When components or accessories that are not intended for or are not compatible with the use for which the
bicycle was designed have been installed.
• Defects resulting from improper handling.
• Scratches, discolouration, or stains caused by the use of abrasive fluids, sharp items, clamps and/or
prolonged exposure to sunlight or other weather conditions.
• Defects caused by the bicycle's normal wear and tear, including those due to material fatigue. Fatigue damage
is a sign that the frame has been damaged by normal use, so it is the user's responsibility toregularly inspect
the bicycle.
• Improper use and/or maintenance of the product (carefully read the recommendations for use and cleaning).
• Frames that have been used in competitions, demos or as rentals.

03 MAINTENANCE
INSPECT THE BICYCLE BEFORE USE
Bicycles are inspected several times throughout the manufacturing process and then at the BH workshop during the
final check. As the bicycle's operation may be affected during transport or third parties may have modified the bicycle
before its sale, the following must be checked before each trip:
• FRAME: no cracks, damage or strange noises.
• CHAIN: it must be lubricated and the transmission system must not make any strange noises.
• BRAKES: the brakes must be working properly. When stopped, press the brake lever with enough strength and
check that it does not touch the handlebars.
• TYRES: the pressure must be correct and there must be no cuts on the tread or on the sides. Also check that
the wear level does not exceed the maximum recommended level.
• WHEELS: the wheels must rotate freely in order to check how they rotate. Also check the space between the
brake lining and the rim, as well as the space between the frame and tyre.
• STEERING: the steering must turn smoothly and with no strange noises.
• SWINGARM ROTATION POINTS: when weight is exerted on the bicycle, the suspension must work as expected
and with no strange noises. If it is not working properly or there is play between the moving parts, this might
mean that the tightening torques are incorrect or that the bearings are worn.
• BEARINGS: the bearings must work properly and with no strange noises. The bearings are subject to wear and
must be replaced to prevent damage to the components on which they are installed.
• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: if the bicycle features an electrical system, check that it is functioning properly
byensuring that the electrical assistance mode is running and that all parts are functioning properly (motor,
display, change of assistance mode and speed sensor). If there is no electrical assistance, check that all
connections are correct and show no signs of damage.
