ADJUSTING THE SEAT HEIGHT
Improperly adjusted seat height could affect the rider’s ability
to reach the handlebar and pedals resulting in unexpected
movement, loss of control and serious injury or death. Follow
these guidelines when adjusting the seat height. Always
ensure the seat post minimum insertion marks are below the
seat clamp and
cannot
be seen. Ensure the seat clamp is
locked and the seat cannot move.
WARNING!
