HOW TO USE A QUICK-RELEASE LEVER
IMPORTANT: Operate a quick-release lever only by
hand. Never use a tool, such as a hammer, to
close or to open a quick-release lever.
A quick-
release
lever has
open and
closed
positions,
which are
marked on
the quick-release lever. To move a quick-release lever
to the open position, pull the quick-release lever out-
ward so that the word OPEN is visible. To move a
quick-release lever to the closed position, push the
quick-release lever inward so that the word CLOSED
is visible.
To tighten a quick-
release lever, first
move the quick-
release lever so
that it is halfway
between the open
position and the
closed position.
Next, finger-tighten the nut.
IMPORTANT: Do not
tighten a quick-release lever like a wing nut; there
will not be enough force to hold the seat post or
the wheel in place.
Then, push the quick-release lever to the closed posi-
tion.
IMPORTANT: You should feel firm resistance
when you push the quick-release lever to the
closed position; otherwise there will not be
enough force to hold the seat post or the wheel in
place.
If you do not feel firm resistance, pull the quick-
release lever to the open position, tighten the nut sev-
eral more turns, and push the quick-release lever to
the closed position. Repeat this action until you feel
firm resistance when you push the quick-release lever
to the closed position. Note: Make sure to orient the
quick-release lever so that it does not interfere with
any other part of the bicycle.
To loosen the quick-release lever, pull the quick-
release lever to the open position, and then loosen the
nut.
HOW TO INFLATE THE TIRES
IMPORTANT: Do not ride with underinflated tires
or you may crack the sidewalls of the tires and
damage the wheel rims.
The tires on your
bicycle have
schraeder valves.
Use a manual
hand pump to
inflate your tires to
the pressure
marked on the
sidewall of each
tire;
do not use
compressed air to inflate your tires.
HOW TO ADJUST THE SUSPENSION
The rear suspension unit, which compresses under a
load, can be adjusted to accommodate cyclists of dif-
ferent body weights and to give either a soft or a hard
ride.
To adjust the rear
suspension unit,
turn the large col-
lar clockwise to
compress the
spring or counter-
clockwise to
release the spring.
As a starting point, adjust the collar until the spring is
compressed about 8mm. For a harder ride, turn the
collar to compress the spring further. For a softer ride,
turn the collar to loosen the spring.
