6.1.4
Setting the height-adjustable seat post
When using your seat post for the first time, you
must give it a firm push downwards to set it in
motion. This is due to the natural tendency of the
seal to repel oil from the seal surface. You only
need to do this before the first use or after a longer
period of non-use. Once you have displaced the
post through its deflection, the oil spreads on the
seal and the post begins to function normally.
Crash caused by an excessively high seat post
setting
A
seat post
with is set too high will cause the
seat post
or the
frame
to break. This will result in a crash and
injuries.
Do not pull the seat post out of the frame beyond
the minimum insertion depth marking.
