Opening and locking the quick release
Swing the quick-release lever outward. Adjust the seat tube to
the desired height. Note the instructions for the minimum
insertion depth on page 23. Rotate the quick release lever
inward until it is against the seat tube in order to close the seat
tube clamp. If you are not able to swing the quick-release lever
to the seat post, you can reduce the pre-load by turning the adjusting screw in an
anti-clockwise direction. Rotate the quick release lever inwards once again until it is
connected to the seat post, in order to close the seat tube clamp.
●
Check whether the seat cannot be turned.
●
Check whether unusual sounds are emitted when opening or locking the quick
release.
●
Remove any soiling from the quick release with the help of a clean cloth.
If the quick release is not properly locked to the seat tube, the seat may become
loose or be released during your ride. Before riding away, ensure that the quick-
release lever is locked with sufficient pre- tension by tightening of the clamp bolt and
is connected against the seat-tube. If you operate the quick release in an improper
manner, you may squash your fingers or other body parts. Therefore, always operate
the quick release with care.
Opening the quick release:

Locking the quick release:
●
Push the quick-release lever (1) in the direction of the corresponding frame part so
that it is against the seat post, in order to lock the quick release.

If you notice that the seat tube is not firmly fastened while the quick release is
closed, adjust the quick release correctly.
3.5 Minimum insertion seat tube
There is a marking on the seat tube which shows the minimum insertion depth for the
seat post, which is necessary to ensure safe usage of the seat tube. The seat tube may
slip or break if the minimum insertion depth is exceeded.
