BICYCLE USERS GUIDE
IMPORTANT:
This manual contains important safety, performance, and
service information. Please read it before taking the first ride on your new
bicycle, and keep it for reference.
Additional safety, performance, and service information for specific
components such as suspension or pedals on your bicycle or
accessories such as helmets or lights that you purchase may also be
available. Make sure that your dealer has given you all the
manufacturers' literature with your bicycle and accessories.
If you have any questions or do not understand something, take
responsibility for your safety and consult with your dealer or the bicycle's
manufacturer (ISD Distribution).
NOTE:
This manual is not intended as a comprehensive use, service, repair, or
maintenance manual. Please see your dealer for all service, repairs, or maintenance.
Your dealer may also be able to refer you to classes, clinics, or books on bicycle use,
service, repair, or maintenance.
GENERAL WARNING:
Like any sport, bicycling involves the risk of
injury and damage. By choosing to ride a bicycle, you assume the
responsibility for that risk, so you need to know - and practice - the rules
of safe and responsible riding and proper use and maintenance. Proper
use and maintenance of your bicycle reduce the risk of injury.
This guide contains many "Warnings" and "Cautions" concerning the
consequences of failure to maintain or inspect your bicycle and for failure
to follow safe cycling practices.
Many of the Warnings and Cautions say, "you may lose control and fall."
However, because any fall can result in severe injury or even death, we
do not always repeat the warning of possible injury or death. It is
impossible to anticipate every situation or condition which can occur
while riding. Therefore, this guide makes no representation about the
safe use of the bicycle under all conditions. There are risks associated
with the help of any bicycle that cannot be predicted or avoided and are
the rider's sole responsibility.
