Dear customer,
thank you for purchase of KELLYS bicycle. We strongly encourage you to read the owner’s manual first
to enjoy your bicycle and for safety reasons too. By doing so, you will have a better understanding
for the general operation of your bike.

TYPE OF BICYCLE USE
The bicycle is designed for use off-road on rough terrain, on public roads and on public pathways.
If you will ride your bicycle in road traffic mainly when reduced visibility you have to equip it with
lights and reflectors according relevant national law.
ADJUSTING SADDLE, STEM AND HANDLEBAR POSITION
All function parts of the bicycle are adjusted by manufacturer and checked by your local dealer
so you can safely use your bike immediately. The only thing you need to do is to set the saddle,
handlebar and stem position to provide yourself with maximum comfort and safe operation of
brakes and steering of the bike.
SADDLE
SADDLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Take a seat on bicycle. Put your foot on pedal which is in the position nearest to the ground. Heel
must be on pedal. Leg must be stretched and slightly bent in the knee for reaching right height
of saddle. If you have saddle too high you will overcharge legs and back muscles. Knee and hips
muscle overcharge will be caused by too low levelled saddle.
ADJUSTING SADDLE POSITION AND TILT
Most recommended position of saddle is when saddle is parallel with ground. Try some positions of
saddle and finally choose the one which is the best for you. It is possible to move saddle forward
and backwards towards the handlebar. Tilt adjustment and moving of saddle is possible when screw
on lock of seat tube is released. Release the screw, move the saddle in desired position and set the
tilt and then tighten screw to keep saddle safely in requested position. Make sure that the screw
is tightened properly.
IMPORTANT WARNING
There is the minimum insertion mark on the seatpost which marks minimal required
insertion depth of seatpost into bike frame. This minimal insertion mark of seatpost must
be invisible. Make sure that the minimum insertion mark of seatpost is not visible above the
bike frame after the seatpost is inserted into the frame. Seatpost clamp screw or seatpost
quick-release must be securely tightened so the seatpost is not turnable inside the frame.
Move the lever of the quick-release to the sides only, to positions OPEN or CLOSE. Do not turn
locked quick-release lever, it could get damaged!
