ENGLISH
CAUTION: Wheels must be true for rim brakes (found on Cycle Front
wheel only) to work eff ectively. Wheel truing is a skill which requires
special tools and experience. Do not attempt to true a wheel unless you
have the knowledge, experience and tools needed to do the job correctly.
• Wheel rims clean and undamaged? Make sure the rims are clean and
undamaged at the tire bead and along the front wheel braking surface.
WARNING: Bicycle wheel rims are subject to wear. Ask a bicycle dealer
about wheel rim wear. Some wheel rims have a rim wear indicator which
indicates when the rim has reached the end of its useful life. Riding a wheel
that is at the end of its usable life can result in wheel failure, which can
cause you to loose control and fall.
• Brakes: In either Cycle Mode or Carrier Bicycle Mode, check the brakes
for proper operation (see Sections 4.3). Squeeze the brake levers. Do they
feel fi rm? Are all control cables seated and securely engaged? Do the front
wheel brake pads contact the wheel rim squarely and make full contact
with the rim? Do the brakes begin to engage within an inch of brake lever
movement? Can you apply full braking force at the levers without having
them touch the handlebar? If not, your brakes need adjustment. Do not
ride the bike until the brakes are properly adjusted by a professional bicycle
mechanic.
NOTE: Before using your Leader™
• Wheel retention system: Make sure the front and rear Cycle wheels are
correctly secured. See Section 4.1.
• Seat post: Check that the seat post quick release is properly adjusted and
in the locked position. See Section 4.2. In Carrier Bicycle Mode, check that
the Push button Release Wheels are correctly secured. See Assembly and
Operation Manual.
• Handlebar and saddle alignment: Make sure the saddle and handlebar
stem are parallel to the bike’s center line and clamped tight enough so that
you can’t twist them out of alignment. See Sections 3.2.
• Handlebar ends: Make sure the handlebar grips are secure and in good
condition. If not, have a bicycle dealer replace them. Make sure the
handlebar ends are plugged. If not, have a bicycle dealer plug them before
you ride.
WARNING: Loose or damaged handlebar grips or extensions can cause
you to lose control and fall. Unplugged handlebars or extensions can cut
you and cause serious injury in an otherwise minor accident.
