Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing your BERG Freestyler.

BERG Toys does everything it can to design and manufacture a sturdy and safe

product. By choosing to buy a BERG Freestyler, you can expect to have many years of

enjoyment and pleasure with it. BERG Freestylers will last for a very long time, but will

require a little care and maintenance from time to time. This user manual provides you

with instructions for carrying out this maintenance. If you follow these instructions, you

can be assured of a tough, robust toy that will last you for many years. You can carry

out much of the maintenance work yourself. But if you have any major repairs that

need doing, your BERG Toys dealer is the place to go. They have all the knowledge

required, as well as the correct tools and equipment.

EN 1. Safety

I. Instructions for use

WARNING!

Protective equipment should be worn. Not to be used in traffic

BERG Freestylers have CE and TÜV / GS approval marks. The BERG Freestyler is

suitable to stunt. Note: Be aware that making stunts is not without risks. The BERG

Freestyler is suitable for children from age 5. Children under the age of 12 are only

allowed to ride on a BERG Freestyler under the supervision of an adult. BERG Toys

can not be held liable for any incomplete information in this user's guide. Always take

the highest possible safety precautions for yourself. Please contact your dealer if you

have any questions or doubts.

IMPORTANT!

If your BERG Freestyler is equiped with a reverse drive function (automatic

freewheel AF), do not pedal backwards when the BERG Freestyler is moving

forwards. This will block the pedals and make them turn forwards again.

1.1 Brakes

Every model of the BERG Freestyler has a hand-brake with a parking function. The

brake function goes on when pulling the handbrake. The parking function goes on

when pushing the pin. When parking use always the parking function.

1.2 Tyre pressure

Before riding on your BERG Freestyler, make sure that the tyre pressure complies with

safety standards (1.5 bar/22psi). The way the brakes and steering operate depends on

having the correct tyre pressure.

1.3 Steering

Before riding on your BERG Freestyler, make sure that the steering is operating

smoothly. If it is not, you will have to fix the problem first. Instructions for doing this are

contained in the section on maintenance.

2. Rules for use

• Before you use the BERG Freestyler, check to make everything is working as

it should.

• Do always wear a helmet, gloves, elbow protectors and knee protectors.

• Drive at the appropriate speed, depending on the situation. There is a danger

of overturning when driving on a slope.

• Considerable speeds can be achieved when going downhill, so remember

that this makes the braking distance longer!

• When making sharp bends at high speed there is a possibility that you will

overturn.

Sheet nr. 49.90.50.50

EN

• Do not ride "no hands."

• Always pay attention to what is going on around you.

• Do not drive a BERG Freestyler under the influence of alcohol or medication

that may have a negative effect on your ability to observe what is going on

around you or on your reflexes.

• Collisions increase the chance of injuring yourself and damaging the BERG

Freestyler. If any damage is caused in this way, BERG Toys cannot be held

liable.

• Always use the hand-brake to slow down.

• Do not place any unnecessary objects on or over the brake lever or steering.

Make sure that the brakes and steering can always operate properly before

riding.

• Clothing and limbs can become jammed in rotating or pivoting parts.

• Avoid wearing loose, trailing clothing, such as a scarf or dangling shoelaces.

These can get caught in moving parts and cause an accident.

• Avoid contact with the wheels when you are driving the BERG Freestyler.

• The catalog gives guidelines about age categories. The driver is responsible

for deciding whether the BERG Freestyler is the right size for him or her.

• Do not get on or off the BERG Freestyler when it is moving.

• Do not overload the BERG Freestyler.

• Do not drive in the dark without lights.

• If a protective cap is removed for maintenance, always replace it properly

before using the BERG Freestyler again.

3. Accessories

If you attach any accessories, these should be BERG original accessories only. If

required, ask your BERG dealer for advice about how to fit accessories. You can find

all the accessoires at www.bergtoys.com.

Sheet nr. 49.90.50.50

II. Maintenance

5. Maintenance works

5.1 Frame

The frame is powder-coated. This means it has a hard coat of paint. To prevent rust

from forming, it is important to clean the frame regularly. If you want to preserve the

frame with grease, use acid-free products only. You can touch up small areas of

damage with paint. Your dealer will have the correct paint to use.

5.2 Wheels, tyres

Check the wheel rims and tyres regularly for damage (nicks, cuts, cracks and bulges).

NB: damaged rims and tyres may lead to accidents! Tyre pressure is 1.5 bar/22psi

(remember that pressure increases with high temperatures). Your BERG Freestyler will

run smoothly and freely when the tyres are at the correct pressure. When the tyre

pressure is too low, the tyres puncture more easily and there will be excessive wear.

When the tyre pressure is too high, the tyre may pop off the rim. This can be

dangerous. Tyres should not come into contact with oil, grease and fuel. Make sure

that the tyre valve caps are always in place on the valves.

Sheet nr. 49.90.50.50

5.3 Steering

The steering mechanism must be checked every month on the following points: EN

• Breakage, wear and / or damage to all parts of the steering mechanism.

• The bolts are firmly in place.

• Check X = Y-5mm (see Fig 5.1).

5.4 Drive mechanism

5.4.1 Chain

The chain must be greased regularly to keep it running smoothly. if the chain is too

taut, the BERG Freestyler will be heavy to pedal and there is also a good chance that

the chain will break. If the chain is not tight enough, it will easily jump off the teeth on

the gear wheel and the chain case may also be damaged. The process for tightening

the chain is described in Fig 5.2. To tighten the chain: Loosen the nut and bolt c and

e a little and then tighten the chain with the nut d. Then tighten the nut and bolt c and

e again.

30Nm / 22ft.lbs

Fig 5.2

IMPORTANT: Do not allow the chain to be too tight. Remove the lower half of the chain

case to see how taut it is. It should be possible to push the chain down easily by 2cm in

the centre.

5.4.2 Brake

If the brake handle due to wear needs to be squeezed further in order to operate

properly, you need to adjust the brakes. The cable connector where the brake cables

are connected, is equipped with adjusting screws. By turning the adjusting screws

counter clockwise (see Fig 5.3), the free movement of the brake handle decreased and

the disc brakes will perform better. When the adjusting screws are entirely unscrewed

and the free movement of the brake handle is still too much, you need to replace the

brake blocks. Ask your BERG Toys dealer for more information. When the brake disc

runs out of true, you need to adjust the brake calaper. By turning the adjusting screw,

you can move the calliper sideward (see Fig 5.3).

5.4.3 Crank arm as part of 'running in' a new BERG Freestyler

After using the BERG Freestyler for a period of time (a few days of intensive use, up to

two weeks of normal use), the anchoring bolts (see Fig. 5.2) with which the left-hand

and right-hand cranks are attached need to be tightened. Make sure this is done

'manually', i.e. with a maximum tightening torque of 30Nm/22ft.lbs. You can also ask

your dealer, who will be happy to do it for you. (It is normal after a short period of use,

as a result of exertion being placed on the pedals, that the crank arm needs

adjustment. An additional effect of this is that there may be some play, which can lead

to damage to the crank and the crank axle. This play can be eliminated by further

tightening the bolts).

5.5 Plastic parts

Plastic parts needs to be checked regularly for damage and breakage. When a

breakage occurs, the part in question must be replaced immediately by an original

spare part in order to ensure the safety of the user.
