2. OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITY
Before riding your Montague, carefully follow all assembly instructions.
Ensure your bike is the correct size for your comfort and safety. When
standing over the frame (straddle frame) you should have a minimum of 1.0”
clearance between the boom tube and your body. Personal adjustment of
the saddle is also necessary to assure maximum safety and comfort. Open
the quick release lever on the seat tube and adjust the height of the saddle.
When seated, your leg should be fully extended with the knee slightly bent
and the ball of the foot on the pedal at the lowest pedal position.
All of the X-Bike’s quick releases must be securely fastened before riding
the bicycle. The quick releases are pictured on the following page in Fig.
1. They are: the front wheel quick release lever
(#23)
, the seat post quick
release lever
(#8)
, the boom tube quick release lever
(#9)
and, the rear wheel
quick release lever
(#30,
not on all models). For instructions on operating
the quick release levers, see pages 5-6.
Double check to ensure all bolts and screws are tight.
Make sure that anyone to whom you loan your Montague understands
how to work the quick release levers and how to fold and unfold the X-Bike
properly.
The owner is responsible for required normal maintenance services, such
as those listed in the “Maintenance” sections of this booklet (pages 28-31) in
order to keep the bicycle in good operating condition.
Damage or injury resulting from negligence, improper operation, improper
or unauthorized repair or from maintenance, environmental infl uences,
and improper use are not warranted by Montague Corporation. Montague
