As the shoe size increases so too does the width of the
shoe, by a total of up to 4 mm. Thus, the level of com-
fort is automatically increased in accordance with the
size of the foot.

AINTENANCE AND CARE
The use of your inline skates results in natural wear and
tear. This requires the regular care and maintenance of
your skates. If it becomes necessary to replace certain
parts over time, for your own safety you should only
use original parts.
Switching and replacing the wheels (Fig. K)
The wheels are the main replaceable components of
your inline skates. There is no general rule as to when
they must be replaced. This is a decision made by each
individual skater, depending on the feeling and their
skating style. However, if the wheels have become
considerably worn, they should be replaced.
Note that wheels that have a different diameter to the
others will alter the skate properties and, under certain
circumstances, may endanger the user. Therefore, if
wheels cannot be properly inserted, do not use them.
Never install wheels that are larger than the inline
skates' original wheels.
With use of the skates, the wheels will become worn on
one side, i.e. the inside edge wears down more quickly
than the outside edge. In addition to this, the front and
rear wheels are subject to harder wear than the inside
wheels. In order to enable the even and therefore long-
term use of the wheels, the position of the wheels
should therefore be switched prior to replacement.
The majority of skaters wear out the wheels on one
skate quicker than those on the other. This can, for
example, be down to the fact that it is easier to corner
in one direction than in the other, or because the skater
brakes more often on one side than the other.
To switch and replace the wheels, use the Allen keys
provided. Place the keys on either side of the wheel
axle and turn the axle shaft (1) and screw (2) in oppo-
site directions. Pull put the axle screw and remove the
wheel (3). Install the new wheel into the frame. To tight-
en the screw, simply turn it in the opposite direction.
Please note the following with regard to the axle
screws: After loosening the screw connection, the self-
locking paint must be re-applied to the thread of the
screw! We recommend that you always do this as a
precautionary measure. Self-locking paint is available
in DIY stores or from specialist retailers.
After replacement:
If, after replacement, the wheel slips to the side or
touches the edge of the frame, please do not use the
wheel! Make sure than all of the screws are still tight
after the first few minutes of skating, and that nothing
has loosened or slackened. Tighten the wheels once
again to ensure that they run smoothly and that there is
no noise coming from the bearings.
Important!
New wheels increase the overall height of the inline
skates. This changes your distance from the ground
and the braking characteristics. For this reason, you
should adjust or replace the brake block.
Replacing the brake (Fig. L)
Replace the brake block promptly in case of wear.
Braking wears out the stopper. Worn out brakes do not
function properly. An angle of more than 40 degrees
between the frame and the surface is an indication of
worn brakes. If the distance between the brake block
and the ground becomes too large (>17 mm), the
brake block must be replaced.
To do so unscrew the brake block screws (3) of the
inline skates with the Allen key provided. Unscrew the
screws and remove the brake block (1) from the brake
block holder (2). Re-attach the new brake block to the
brake block holder with the brake block screws.
Replacement of the ball bearings (Fig. M & N)
The ball bearings enable the wheels to turn with a very
low resistance. If the wheels are finding it difficult to
turn, the ball bearings should be cleaned or replaced.
To do so, remove the wheel (1) as described in the
"Replacing the wheels" section. Position the hex key
(with the handle) above the spacer (2) and push out the
spacer. Remove the bearing (3). Press out the other
bearing with a hex key. Push in a new bearing. Turn
the wheel, insert the spacer and then push in a second
new bearing. Fix the wheel to the frame again as de-
scribed in the "Replacing the wheels" section.

Inline skates are technical sport and leisure equipment
and therefore wear out depending on the ability and
style of the skater.
After using your inline skates we recommend they be
thoroughly cleaned and dried. Remove small stones or
