ROUTINE INSTRUCTIONS AND MAINTENANCE
1. Any modification made to the frame, fork, or any other parts can be very unsafe. Any
component which is not approved can put very high stress on your bicycle and can
decrease your control, which may lead to a fall. Do not sand, drill, file, remove
redundant retention devices, install forks or make other modifications. Consult with a
professional before adding any parts to your bicycle for its safety and compatibility.
2. Use of any mechanical devices on your bicycle may subjects it to wear and stress.
Different material or component can react differently to wear or stress. If the life span
of any part of the bicycle which includes frame, fork and components has exceeded,
the part may break and cause you to lose control and fall. Any form of crack, scratch or
change in colour in the high-stress area indicates that life of that component has
reached and should be replaced.
3. If the wheel adjustment device is not correctly adjusted and closed, it can allow the
wheel to be loose or come off which may cause you to fall.
4. The disk brake and the disk get very hot during use and touching it can burn skin
and also the disk edges can be sharp and cut through skin. Do not touch the disk or
disk brake when hot or when the disk turns.
5. Riding your bicycle in an incorrect manner can add to your risk of getting injured:
a. Jump your bicycle.
b. Ride over sticks, debris, or other obstacles.
c. Do bicycle stunts.
d. Ride in severe off-road terrain.

PEDAL INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
There is a right pedal marked “R” and a left pedal marked “L”.
1. The pedal marked “R” has right-hand threads. Tighten it in a clockwise direction.
2. The pedal marked “L” has left-hand threads. Tighten it in a counter-clockwise
direction (anti-clockwise).
3. Turn the right pedal marked “R” into the right side of the crank arm, and the left
pedal marked “L” into the left side of the crank arm.
Tighten the pedals (fig 09):
4. Make sure the threads of each pedal are fully into the crank arm. Make sure pedals
are fully tightened with wrench.
NOTE:
The recommended torque (tightness) for each pedal is 30 ft.-lbs.
WARNING:
Ensure pedals are secure in crank arms so they will not loosen. Periodically
check tightness.
