2. SEAT
WARNING:
The seatpost must be inserted far enough so that the minimum
insertion marks cannot be seen.
Add some white grease to the inside of the seat tube, and slide the seatpost
into the bicycle. Make sure that the minimum insertion mark is completely
covered and that the seat is pointing forward in alignment with the bicycle
(see Figures 6 and 7).
CAUTION:
Operate the quick release lever by hand only. Do not use a
hammer or any other tool to tighten the quick release lever.
WARNING:
If the quick release lever is not tightened properly, the
seatpost can loosen while riding. This can cause a loss of control and injury to the
rider or others.
To install the seat post reflector, first remove the seatpost and saddle from
the bike. Use (A) Standard Phillips Head Screwdriver to loosen the screw on
the clamp of the reflector until you can slide the reflector over the seat post.
Once the reflector is on the seat post, reinsert the seat post back into the
seat tube. Position the reflector so that it is perpendicular to the ground, and
move it up on the seat post until it can be seen above the tire when viewing
the bike from the rear (see Figure 8).
