INSTALLATION ON THE STEM
•The handlebars may only be mounted with grease-free screws.
•Use the supplied assembly paste for mounting the stem to
reduce the necessary tightening torque, thus relieving the
material. To do this, apply the assembly paste to the clamping
areas.
•Position the handlebar in the center and
tighten the stem bolts gradually and not
immediately to the maximum torque.
Please follow the mounting instructions
of the stem manufacturer and the
maximum tightening torque of 5Nm.
INSTALLATION OF BRAKE AND SHIFT LEVERS
•Use the supplied assembly paste for mounting the stem to
reduce the necessary tightening torque, thus relieving the
material. To do this, apply the assembly paste to the clamping
areas.
•Position the levers at the desired location and tighten the brake
levers only until they can no longer be twisted. Make sure not
to exceed the tightening torque of 4-6Nm when tightening the
screws.
•Depending on the design of the levers, the shift and brake
hoses can be displaced each other.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Always inspect your ZEROLITE Components product for integrity
before riding. Damage can lead to component failure, resulting in
serious injury or even death. Defective components should not be
driven on under any circumstances and should be replaced
immediately. If you are unsure, contact us or a specialist dealer.
The following issues should always be considered:
•After every crash and impact, the carbon handlebar must be
checked for cracks, nicks, and dents. To do this, all the fittings
must be unscrewed. Even if no obvious defects such as cracks,
deformation or the like are visible, we cannot guarantee safe
operation. Please consult a specialist dealer or contact us. In
case of doubt, the handlebar should be replaced.
•Check regularly whether the screws are tightened securely.
However, be sure to observe the maximum tightening torque
(see section „Installation “).
•Inspect the handlebar for signs of material fatigue and
stresses, such as cracks and dents.
•Clean your handlebar only with water or, if necessary, with a
soap.
Proper maintenance and care ensure a long service life and reliable
function.
