MAJOR PARTS – USAGE & CAUTION
Saddle Adjustment
The saddle can be adjusted to an angle that is most comfortable for the rider.
Loosen the bolt/nut to position the saddle, the saddle should be parallel to the
ground or slightly tipped back. Retighten bolt after adjustment.
Suspension Adjustment
If folding bike is a shock absorber, you can adjust the coil for better effect. For a
firmer ride, tighten it so the spring is more compressed; For a shorter ride, loosen it
so the spring is compressed less.
Brakes
- Before riding make sure the brake are working.
- Make sure the brake shoes do nut rub against rim.
- Adjust brakes by loosening or tightening the cable as needed, do not over
tighten.
- Always brake using both brakes
- Applying brakes suddenly or with great force may make you loosed control.
When riding on wet surfaces it increases your stopping distance.
Wheel and Tires
1. Do not ride bike if spokes are missing. This may loosen other spokes and cause
serious injury.
2. Keep rims of tires clean. Use a clean rag, or wash with soap
and water. Do not clean with solvent or gasoline and avoid getting lubrication
on the rim as this may affect brake performance.
3. Never inflate the tires beyond maximum pressure listed on the tire. Exceeding
this pressure may damage the rim and damage to the bike may cause serious
injury or death.
OPERATING THE DERAILLEUR
Your bike may have 3 or 5 or 6 more gears. This system may have front and rear
derailleur, cables, If Derailleur is of Shimano brand, read Shimano manual.
1. The lowest gear is the easiest to pedal, while the higher gear is harder to pedal.
2. Please reset the speed one by one, or the chain will drop outside or fall off
easily.
3. There are two kinds of front derailleur, one is derailleur lever, and the other is
grip shifter. Fig. A is about the derailleur lever.
- Before ride the new bike, use cross screwdriver to tighten lightly the cross screw
(4)
- (1) Position is for High Speed, position between (1) and (3) is for Medium Speed,
(3) is for Low Speed
- Do not force the shift adjuster up or down from either lowest speed or highest
speed.
4. After cycling the new bike for a period, the free wheel and hub will be stronger;
it may cause the chain to drop or fall off when changing the speed. If this hap-
pens, you will need to adjust the screw of the derailleur as follows:
Screw 2 (see Fig.B) The screw adjusts the chain from big gear to small one when
changing the speed. Normally, the bike can be shifted from to lower gear but
not fall off. If the chain does not shift higher, loosen the screw (turn left).DO NOT
loosen too much or chain can fall off. If this happens, tighten the screw (turn
right)
