3.10.4 Air system
*
On some suspension forks it is possible to
alter the air pressure. You will need assis-
tance from your cycle dealer to do this, or if
you feel confident of doing it yourself, a sus-
pension fork pump with a pressure gauge
and the suspension fork manufacturer's ins-
tallation manual. The valve with cap (e.g.
marked ‘AIR’) is usually located on the left-
hand side of the fork.

DANGER
Replace any damaged (e.g. cracks, grooves) or bent components
before using the bike again. Not doing so can lead to essential parts
failing and cause a serious fall.
Do not use the bike if it is not in perfect technical condition. If you are
unsure, ask a cycle dealer to check it over.
We recommend asking your cycle dealer to assemble and adjust the
bike. Otherwise, components could become loose due to a faulty as-
sembly. If this happens whilst you are cycling, you could injure your-
self very seriously or even die.
Inspect your pedelec before every trip, and after each time it has been
transported anywhere or left unattended. Use the following checklist to
help you.

3.10.3 Lockout system
If your suspension forks are fitted with a
lockout system, it is possible to lock the
suspension. There are some riding situa-
tions where that can be useful: for ex-
ample, if you are riding up a hill or if
you are standing up from the saddle
when accelerating. To switch the sus-
pension to fixed, turn the rotary control
to ‘LOCK’ (or alternatively:
$
). To reac-
tivate the suspension, turn the control
to the ‘OPEN’ position.

DANGER
Do not ride over rough terrain with the suspension locked. It can
damage the suspension forks. A broken fork could cause you to fall off
and seriously injure yourself.
