SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• As is the case with many comparable sports, roller skating is a sport with a relatively
high risk of physical injury. As a matter of principle, you should wear full protective
equipment.
• Never use the product without a helmet and hand/wrist, elbow and knee pads.
• We recommend the use of reflective materials. We must point out, however, that even
full protective equipment cannot provide 100% protection.
• Always be alert and careful when roller skating.
• Use your skates only on suitable surfaces that are smooth, clean, dry and largely free
of other road users.
• Always respect other road users and remember that the Road Traffic Act imposes re-
strictions for roller skaters.
• Before you start: Check all connections and locking parts for correct fit and check the
steering setting.
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
DRIVING METHODS
Adapt your speed to your skills. Before you adopt an aggressive skating style, learn how to
glide, corner and brake. Avoid steep terrain and also slippery, dusty, stony and wet sur-
faces. Keep your body weight forwards.
TIPS FOR BEGINNERS
1. Practise certain important skills on an old carpet at home before progressing to tarmac.
Accept help and advice from others. Walk a few steps on the front stopper, in order to
familiarise yourself with this part of your roller skates that may feel strange to your feet.
The better you master this step, the easier you will find it later on to skate and brake.
2. Now practise on clean, even tarmac. Stand upright on your roller skates with your feet
about a hand's width apart. Your bodyweight should be over the balls of your feet. No-
vice skaters often make the mistake of standing upright with their knees stiff and their
weight over the heels.
3. Avoid steep descents, busy roads and difficult terrain. Adapt your speed to the descent
and the terrain, keeping your level of expertise in mind.
4. Next, you should learn how to corner. Your skate is built so that the axles are steerable.
Shift your weight to one side and your skates will follow in this direction. Use your hip
and your knee. Now try the same technique as you skate. Learn how to brake.
5. Starting off is always difficult and most of a novice's accidents happen in the first ten
minutes. You should exercise extreme caution during this early learning phase!
FRONT-STOP
Brake blocks are mounted to the front of both skates. These grind to produce a braking
effect. Practise this technique over and over again, so that you can stop in any situation.
DISCO-STOP
Experienced skaters pirouette shortly before braking. This helps them achieve a better
braking action backwards with the front stoppers. This technique, however, is recommen-
ded only if you have the necessary experience.
All images are examples of the design.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Use a dry or damp cloth only to clean the product; do not use special cleaning agents!
Check the product for damage or traces of wear and tear before and after each use. Do not
make any structural changes. For your own safety, please use original spare parts only.
These can be sourced from HUDORA. If parts become damaged or if sharp edges or cor-
ners should develop, the product may not be used any more. If in any doubt, please contact
our service team (http://www.hudora.de/service/). Store the product in a safe place where
it is protected from the elements, cannot be damaged, and cannot injure anyone.
Wear and tear calls for regular maintenance and servicing. Worn-out stoppers, wheels,
steering buffers or bearings are easily replaced. You should not undertake any changes to
your roller skates as the safety may be compromised. The self-checking effect of the self-
securing nuts or axes is reduced after repeated loosening and tightening of the links. Sharp
edges resulting from usage should be removed as soon as possible. Regular checks, main-
tenance and servicing increase the safety and the life span of your roller skates
CHANGING THE ROLLERS
Rollers are available as accessories. Please remember to remove the bearings from the old
rollers and reuse them on the new ones. To change the rollers, loosen the wheel nuts, re-
move the old rollers and fit the new rollers (either with new or old ball bearings) onto the
axle. Retightening the wheel nut then creates its self-locking action. For safety reasons,
we recommend you use self-locking nuts only once.
STEERING ADJUSTMENT
The tractability of the roller skates can be adjusted by loosening and tightening the center
bolts. Warning: Do not over loosen the center bolts or else there's a risk that the wheels
may come into contact with the chassis. After making an adjustment, it is best to go on a
few trial runs first.
ROLLER BEARINGS
Your roller skates are fitted with precision bearings which are filled with grease under
high-pressure during the manufacturing process. The skate will therefore run smoothly
and quickly only when under load. Due to being a closed system, the bearings do not have
to be re-greased.
Clean the ball bearings with a dry cloth as and when required. Ball bearings on the skate
must be rubbed with a dry cloth immediately if they get wet or damp. Worn ball bearings
must be replaced. To do this, loosen the roller from the chassis and remove the ball bearing
using a screw- driver (be careful not to damage the spacer sleeve inserted within the rol-
lers between the two ball bearings). At the end of the cleaning routine or when replacing
ball bearings, first push a ball bearing into the roller and rotate the roller and insert the
distance sleeve. Then push the second ball bearing into the roller too.
REPLACING AND/OR ADJUSTING THE STOPPER
Stoppers will wear over time. If a stopper is completely worn out, loosen it from the chassis
using the keys. Correctly insert the new stopper. Do not damage the self-locking action of
the stopper screw. For safety reasons, we recommend you use self-locking nuts only once.
There must be a clearance of at least 10 mm between the bottom edge of the stop- per and
the road surface. Any repairs or adjustments to your roller skates should be done with the
help of an adult.

At the end of the product's life, please dispose of it at an appropriate collection point pro-
vided in your area. Local waste management companies will be able to answer your que-
stions on this.
