SETTING UP
THE
SYNERGY STEP
FOR YOUR PERFECT FIT
Saddle
H
eight
To adjust saddle height, open the seat post quick release lever
located on the frame where the
seat post enters. Once loose, adjust saddle to desired height, then straighten saddle so that it is
centred (parallel to the SYNERGY STEP frame). When
the
desired height is set, firmly tighten
the quick release so that saddle is securely in place. Try to manually move
the
saddle from left to
right to be sure it is firmly secured.
IMPORTANT: Do no raise the seat post above the “minimum insert” line clearly printed on the
backside of the seat post. Raising the seat post above the minimum insert line can cause the seat
post to fail, which could in turn result in loss of control to your SYNERGY STEP and could
cause serious injury.
Saddle
P
osition
To move the saddle more forward/
back
ward or adjust the nose of the saddle to point slightly
up
ward/downward, loosen the bolt located under the saddle, at the top of the seat post. You can
use one of the allen keys provided. Once loosened, move the saddle to its ideal position. When
the
desired position is set, firmly tighten the bolt to 22Nm for safety assurance. Try to manually
move the saddle up/down as well as forward/ rearward to be sure it is firmly secured.
Handlebar
H
eight
To adjust height of handlebar to match your comfort and riding style, first loosen the handlebar
height quick release located next to the front end of the frame. Adjust
the
handlebar to
the
desired height, making sure to centre the handlebar so that it is perpendicular to the frame.
S
ecurely tighten the quick release. Once tight, try to manually move the handlebar from side to
side to make sure it is securely in place.
CAUTION: You must slide the handlebar stem connecting
the
handlebar to
the
frame in far
enough that the series of parallel grooves that mark the minimum insertion level in the tubing are
hidden (NOT exposed). DO NOT raise the handlebar higher than this height. If the handlebar
stem is not inserted, at minimum, to this line, serious injury can occur to the rider.
