To open the quick release, proceed as follows:
➢
Tilt the tensioning lever, so that the word OPEN is readable.
➢
Open the quick release as far as it will go.
➢
To loosen the quick release, turn the locking nut in an anticlockwise direction.
To close the quick release, proceed as follows:
➢
Adjust the locking tension using the locking nut.
➢
If the quick release is too loose, open it again and turn the locking
nut in a clockwise direction.
If the quick release is still too easy to close, repeat the last step.
➢
If the quick release is too difficult to close, turn the locking nut in an
anticlockwise direction.
➢
Tilt the tensioning lever away from the OPEN position, so that the
word CLOSE is readable.
Adjusting the saddle
The seat position is crucial to your comfort and cycling efficiency.
Do not remove the seat post or the saddle clamp.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage or accidents.
Tighten all screws to the specified torque, otherwise the screws could break off and
parts may become loose. (see chapter ‘Tightening torques of screws, nuts and bolts’,
page 45).
You should only carry out work on your bicycle with suitable tools and
sufficient knowledge. Have complicated repairs or work related to safety done
by a dealer.
Adjust the bicycle saddle and handlebar to suit your requirements.

Before each use
Despite taking great care during production and final checking, parts
may work loose or their functionality may alter during transport.
➢
For this reason, the following items must be checked before each use:
●
tightness of the quick releases,
●
tightness of all screws, nuts and pedals,
●
adjustment and tightness of suspension parts
●
adjustment and function of the brakes
●
tightness of pipes and connectors if hydraulic brakes are being used,
●
fastening of the saddle support and the handlebar stem,
●
minimum insertion depth of the seat post and the handlebar stem,
●
lighting function,
●
gear shift function,
●
proper fixing of the wheels and
●
sufficient tyre tread depth and correct tyre pressure.
Use of the quick release
All quick releases must be fastened tightly before riding.
Check that all quick releases are correctly seated if the bicycle has been left
unattended for a while.
When tightening the quick release, so much force is required that you will need to use
the ball of your hand, otherwise the quick release could loosen itself.
A quick release is made up of two
operating elements:
1
Tensioning lever
