3. FIRST RIDE WITH YOUR NYTRO DUST
1. Before riding your Nytro Dust bicycle for the first time, it is a good idea to spend some time
with your Pinarello dealer to fine-tune the set-up, so that it meets your specifications and all
components operate in the proper working ranges. For some additional details on adjustments,
refer to the manual section “Before every ride”.
2. Get to know your bike. The ride characteristics of a pedelec are specific to the hybrid
propulsion system and differ substantially from the ride of traditional bicycles. Because of this, you
should begin by familiarising yourself with the lowest level of assistance, riding in a known space
and away from risks to yourself and others.
3. The Pinarello Nytro Dust bicycle is designed to support a maximum weight of 130 kg (286 lbs),
including bike, rider, luggage and accessories. Make sure you do not exceed this limit.
4. Ask your trusted Pinarello dealer to help you check that the pedelec is equipped with all the
devices required by the road traffic laws in force where you will be using it.
5. Check the battery level of the pedal assist system. The battery must be charged before
first use. Further instructions on battery use and charging are found in the section “Use and
maintenance of the battery and battery charger”, and in the motor manufacturer’s user manual.
We recommend that you charge the battery during daylight hours and only in
dry areas with smoke or fire detectors. Do not charge the battery in a bedroom.
Place the battery on a large, non-flammable surface when charging and keep
it away from flammable objects.
Only charge the battery using the charger supplied with the bike. Never use
any other manufacturer’s charger, even if the plug is compatible.
6. Familiarise yourself with the pedal assist functions. These are operated by the remote
control mounted on the handlebar or through the switch on the top tube near the head
tube. For further details on the control and features of the pedal assist functions, see
the “User Interface” section of this manual and the motor manufacturer’s user manual.
Notice: When mounting the bike, be careful not to engage the pedals before
you are in the correct position, with your hands firmly on the handlebar. There
is a risk that you could unintentionally activate the pedal assist before you have
full control of the bike, resulting in a fall.
7. Check and familiarise yourself with the braking system. The brakes assembled on this bike
could have much greater stopping power than the ones you are used to. Test the brakes to become
familiar with their use. Check that the levers operate the brakes in the combinations you are used
to. Except for some countries, the combinations are usually the right lever for rear brake, left lever
for front brake. Familiarise yourself with the combinations if you are not used to the pattern.
8. Familiarise yourself with the shift system and its operation, unless it is similar to a system you
are used to.
9. Check the height of the frame, saddle and handlebar. The top tube should be one hand’s
width below your groin. The saddle should be set so that while seated, your heel barely reaches
the pedal at the lowest point of rotation. Once in the saddle, make sure you can touch the floor
with your toes. Your Pinarello dealer can help with set-up and offer more detailed advice.
10. If you have equipped your bicycle with quick-release or clipless pedals, ask your Pinarello
dealer to help you set up and become familiar with their use.
