Attach the seat to the seat post by inserting the smaller end of the seat
post into the seat clamp and tighten. Insert the larger end of the seat
post into the seat tube of the bicycle frame observing the minimum insertion
mark on the seat post. Turn the adjusting nut of the Quick Release seat
bolt to ensure the locking lever is moved to the closed position with a firm
action. Turn the bicycle upside down and rest it on the seat and handlebars.
NOTE: Comfort Series (CS) bicycles may be equipped with a suspension
seat post (See Diagram-bottom left). Some suspension posts can be adjust-
ed for stiffness using the preload adjusting screw. Turning the 6mm A l l e n
screw Clockwise will decrease travel and make the suspension stiff e r, while
turning the 6mm Allen screw Counter-clockwise will increase travel and
make the suspension less rigid.
N o t e: In addition to normal assembly,please be aware that the preload
adjusting screw must be flush with the bottom of the post.
Failure to do this may cause irreparable damage.
The seat post must be inserted so that the minimum insert i o n
mark cannot be seen. The quick release mechanism must be
tightened securely to prevent a sudden shift of the seat when
riding. Failure to do this may cause loss of bicycle control.
