ATTACHING THE WHEELS AND SADDLE
• Attach the mudguard to the front wheel fork with the screw and nut (fig. 1).
• The rear wheel comes pre-mounted. Only the front wheel has to be mounted. Insert
the front wheel into the front wheel fork (8) by removing the axle locks (13) and
external nuts (12a) from the wheel axle. Check whether the nuts (12b) are firmly
screwed and hence hold the spacers (14) in place. Now secure the wheel with the
aid of the hooks to the axle locks (13) in order to hook these into the holes on the
fork. Tighten the axle screws (12a). Please ensure that the wheels are straight when
inserted into the fork/frame.
• Attach the saddle as shown in fi g. 1. The cover (3) should initially be pulled over the
saddle’s supporting tube (17). However, this is not necessary with the lowest saddle
setting. Please ensure that the maximum saddle height is not exceeded by refraining
from pulling the saddle support higher than the “MAX” indication as exceeding the
maximum saddle height could lead to serious injuries.
ATTACHING THE HANDLEBARS
• Attach the steering rod parallel to the front wheel. Attach the fork and handlebars
as shown in fig. 1. In order to set the highest position of the steering rod, the vertical
supporting tube can be pulled out to the “MAX” indication. Do not pull out the rod
further as this might lead to accidents.
• Please ensure that the steering rod is positioned correctly in relation to the front wheel
before tightening the screw. The clamp must be tightened to the fork tube. Not to the
handlebar tube!
• The brake system comes pre-mounted. However, you should make sure that the
brakes are working perfectly. Test the brakes several times before using the bicycle.
Apart from that, please note the information on how to set up the brakes.
• Attach the protective padding with the aid of the hook and loop band stitched on it to
the centre of the steering rod.
After you have assembled all components, make sure that all connections are tightly
screwed together before allowing your children to play with the running bike.
ADJUSTING THE BRAKE IN THE BIKE
Your trainer bike has a belt brake at the rear end. It is operated with the brake handle on
the handlebar (Illus. 1&2). The brake system is pre-mounted and pre-adjusted. However,
before every use, ensure that the brake system functions without any problem. It the
brake is not effective enough, it can be easily adjusted. There are many options, starting
from the brake handle to the brake itself. The distance of the brake handle from the
grip can be adjusted with the adjusting screw [B]. Tighten it to decrease and loosen to
increase the gap. The screw is basically to give your child the correct grip, but a change
will also affect the brake slightly. Loosening of the screw will give the handle more room.
Tightening of the screw reduces the room and therefore the braking ability of the belt
brake. The lock nut [D] at the belt brake changes the brake cable run (Illus. 3). If you turn
it towards the cable, the cable run shortens and the braking is quicker. Fasten the lock
nut [D] with a counter nut [C]. You can also use the set screws [F]. They directly affect
the belt brake. The brake section presses itself closer to the axle if you fasten it in and
loosens correspondingly if you loosen the screw. If all these options fail, you can shorten
the wire drawing. Loosen the nut [E], pull the brake cable taut and refasten it. Take help
from a mechanic if these options fail, because a faulty brake can lead to grave injuries
or damages!
Before riding the first time, engage the brake several times and check whether all screws
have been fastened properly and the brake is functioning without any problem.
