Unboxing your Dillenger will be very exciting, but it’s important to take care when 
unboxing the bike as it’s possible to accidentally damage the bike or misplace crucial 
parts. It’s also much easier to unbox the bike with someone to help you. 
Remove the protective packaging from the bike carefully with a pair of scissors or a box 
cutter. Make sure you don’t misplace any components in the lose packaging (there can be 
quite a lot of protective packaging used).

Note: Model shown is the PUMA

After you’ve taken your Dillenger out of it’s shipping carton, you should have these parts:

1. The Complete Bike

2. The Front Wheel

3. Handlebar Headstock (PUMA only)

PlEaSE noTE

The keys will be securely fastened to the frame or handlebars of 
your bike. Make sure you do not lose these as they are coded and a 

replacement set can only be fitted in a Dillenger factory.
