ATTACH THE SEAT
Improperly adjusted seat height could aect the rider’s ability
to reach the handlebar and pedals resulng in unexpected
movement, loss of control and serious injury or death. Follow
these guidelines when adjusng the seat height. Always
ensure the seat post minimum inseron marks are below the
seat clamp and cannot be seen. Ensure the seat clamp is
locked and the seat cannot move.
WARNING!
There are two kinds of seat clamps; bolted and quick-release,
and two kinds of seat posts standard and micro-adjust. The seat
assembly should be adjusted with the seat centered on the rails
and level. It is recommended to add some grease to all threads
and binders on a bicycle, especially on the outside of the seat
post. Otherwise it may corrode over me and not be able to be
adjusted again.
