General Safety Instructions
Dear STEVENS customer,
In purchasing this STEVENS bicycle you have chosen a product of high quality
and technology. Each component of your new STEVENS bicycle has been designed,
manufactured and assembled with great care and expertise. Your STEVENS dealer
gave the bicycle its final assembly and adjustment to guarantee proper operation
and many enjoyable riding experiences with complete peace of mind from the
very first metres.
This manual contains a wealth of information on the proper use of your
STEVENS bicycle and a lot of interesting facts about bicycle technology, mainte-
nance and care. Read these STEVENS operating instructions thoroughly. We are
sure that even if you have been cycling all your life you will find useful and detailed
information. Bicycle technology has developed at a rapid pace during recent years.
Therefore, before setting off on your new STEVENS bicycle, be sure to read at
least the chapter
“Before Your FIRST Ride”
.
To ensure as much fun and safety as possible during cycling, be sure to carry
out the functional check described in the chapter
“Before EVERY Ride”
before
setting off on your STEVENS bicycle.
Even a manual as big as an encyclopaedia could not describe any possible com-
bination of bicycle models and components or parts on the market. The STEVENS
operating instructions therefore focus on your newly purchased STEVENS bicycle
and standard components and provides useful information and warnings.
When doing any adjusting and maintenance work, be aware that the detailed
instructions provided in your manual only refer to this STEVENS bicycle.
The information included here is not applicable to any other bicycle type. As
bicycles come in a wide variety of designs with frequent model changes, the rou-
tines described may require complementary information. Be sure to also observe
the instructions of the component manufacturers.
Be aware that these STEVENS operating instructions may require further
explanation, depending on the experience and/or skills of the person doing the
work. For some jobs you may require additional (special) tools or supplementary
instructions. This manual cannot teach you the skills of a bicycle mechanic.
Caution:
If you have purchased
a STEVENS e-bike/
EPAC, be sure to read
the supplied translation
of the original STEVENS
operating instructions.
There you will find
further categories.
