2. Tighten the Seat Clamp so the seat stays on the seat post. If the Seat Clamp has a
nut on each side, tighten both nuts equally. Point the Seat (8) forward and put the
Seat Post (9) into the Seat Tube (B) (figs 07, 08).
CAUTION:
If you accidentally drop the seat post into the seat tube, it may be difficult
to remove it.
CAUTION:
Operate the Quick Release Lever by hand only. Do not use a hammer or any
other tool to tighten the quick release lever.
You must use strong force to move the quick release lever to the “close” position. If
you can easily move the lever to the “close” position, the clamping force is too light.
WARNING: If the clamping force of the Quick Release Lever is too light, the seat post
can loosen while riding. This can cause injury to the rider or to others.
TIGHTEN THE QUICK RELEASE LEVER:
3. Open and close the Quick Release Lever with one hand while you turn the Adjusting
Nut (F) with the other hand (fig 08). Tighten or loosen the Adjusting Nut (F) by hand,
so that you first feel resistance to the quick release lever when it perpendicular to the
bicycle frame.
4. Push the Quick Release Lever to the “close” position (fig 08). The tightening torque
of the Quick Release Lever should be tight enough so that the seat does not move
during normal operation.
TESTING SEAT CLAMP AND POST CLAMP TIGHTNESS
1. Try to turn the seat side-to-side and to move the front of the seat up and down. If
the seat moves in the Seat Clamp (A) (fig 06), loosen the Seat Clamp.
2. Put the seat in the correct position and tighten the Seat Clamp tighter than before.
3. Do this test again, until the seat does not move in the Seat Clamp.
4. If the Seat Post (9) moves in the Seat Tube (B): Move the Quick Release Lever to the
“open” position, put the seat in the correct position and tighten the Quick Release
Lever tighter than before.
5. If necessary, loosen Quick Release Lever, tighten Adjusting Nut and re-tighten Quick
Release Lever.
6. Do this test again, until the seat post does not move in the seat tube.
