1. There are markings on the seat post
which show how far it can be pulled
out of the frame. Never pull the seat
post beyond the maximum length
marking. Otherwise the seat post may
buckle or break. If you require a
longer seat post to reach the correct
sitting position, talk to your FLYER
specialist retailer. Never ride with a
seat post extended further than the
maximummarkerasthiscouldresult
in serious falls and injury.

run the risk of falling and su󰀨ering
serious injury.

ST OP
1. Inappropriately installed wheels may
shift while you are driving or detach
from the vehicle. This may damage
the vehicle and lead to severe or
life-threatening injuries to the driver. It
is therefore important to take note of
the following instructions: Ensure that
the axle, the dropouts and quick re
-
lease mechanisms are free of dirt.
T
ake care that they are correctly at-
tached at all times. Contact your
FL
YER specialist retailer and have
your vehicle checked when you are
not sure.

attached, even if your FLYER only
remained unsupervised for a short
time. You may only start driving when
allquick release fasteners are rmly
closed.
12.2 Settinguptheseatingposition
The seat, handlebars and stem must be adjusted
to your body mass and the desired sitting positon
in order to use your FLYER safely and comfort-
ably.
Only allow FLYER specialists to work on
your handlebars and stem. These are
components which are crucial for your
safety, so incorrect work and tools in this
area of the bicycle could lead to serious
falls.
The seat and stem can be attached with
screw connections or quick releases.
Always secure screw connections with
the correct torque,see “T
echnical Data”.

its lowest position.
Now the bottom leg should be stretched. If this
is not the case, dismount, adjust the seat in the
required direction and try again.
