WARNING
: Over tightening the stem bolt or headset assembly may cause damage to
the bicycle and/or injury to the rider.
If the stem is not inserted to at least the "
Minimum Insertion
" mark, it is possible to over-
tighten the stem bolt and damage the fork steering tube. This could result in unsafe
conditions and an injury risk to the rider. Check steering tightness prior to riding by
straddling the front wheel and turning the handlebar. If you can turn it without the front
wheel turning, the stem is too loose. Re-align the handlebar with the front wheel and re-
tighten the stem bolt.
Seat
Insert the seat assembly into the frame of the bicycle and adjust the seat to the desired
height. The seat post must be inserted to at least the "
Minimum Insertion
" line marked on
the seat post. Move the quick release lever to the closed position. You should feel
considerable resistance while moving the lever. If not, re-open and re-tighten the lever, then
move it to the closed position so it is in line with the frame. Position the top of the seat
parallel with the ground. Push the front of the seat up and down to firmly mesh the serrations
together. The serrations must mesh completely together to insure a stable riding position.
Check for tightness by twisting the seat from side to side, and from front to back. If the seat
moves at the seat clamp or quick release, reposition and re-tighten the appropriate
clamping mechanism.
Pedals
Start each pedal spindle by hand to avoid stripping the threads, then tighten with a 15mm
narrow open-ended wrench. It is very important that you check the crank set for correct
adjustment and tightness before riding your bicycle. The new crank may become loose with
initial use. Once the pedals have been attached, check that the crank arm rotates smoothly
and that there is no lateral movement.
WARNING:
Attachment of an incorrect pedal into a crank arm will cause irreparable
damage.
Final Check
All other parts like front wheel, front disc brakes, headlights etc. were assembled by the
factory; no other assembly needed.
Tire Pressure: Check the tire pressure and inflate to the range recommended on the tire
sidewalls.
WARNING:
Before riding, ensure all nuts, bolts and fittings on the bicycle have been
correctly tightened.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
·
Bicyclists are expected to obey the same laws as all other road vehicles. These include
giving way to pedestrians and stopping at red lights and stop signs. For further information,
contact the Department of Transportation in your State.
·
Ride in a predictable manner. Always ride with traffic.
·
Always use hand signals to indicate turning and stopping.
·
Ride defensively. To other road users, you may be hard to see.
·
Concentrate on what's ahead. Avoid pot holes, loose gravel, wet road markings, oil, curbs,
speed bumps, drainage grates and other obstacles if at all possible.
·
Cross train tracks at a 90-degree angle or walk your bicycle across.
·
Expect the unexpected, such as opening car doors or cars backing out of concealed
driveways.
·
Be extra careful at intersections and when attempting to pass other vehicles.
·
Familiarize yourself with all of the bicycle's features. Practice gear shifts, braking, and the
use of toe clips and straps, if fitted.
·
Wear proper riding attire and avoid open toe shoes. When wearing loose pants, use leg
clips or elastic bands to prevent them from being caught in the chain.
