the bicycle in order to use all the functions correctly and safely. They are not a substitute for personal training by the BULLS specialist dealer. The operating instructions are a component part of the bicycle. Therefore, if it is re- sold at a later time, they must be handed over to the subsequent owner. These operating instructions are mainly directed towards the rider and user of the bicycle. In general, they are technical laypersons. Text passages which are directed expressly at specialist staff (e.g. bicycle mechanics), are clearly marked with a blue tool symbol. Staff at all BULLS specialist dealers have specialist training and qualifications, and are therefore capable of identifying risks and preventing hazards which may arise during maintenance, servicing and repairs on the bicycle.
