Shimano E6100 - 4. Before every trip

EN-32 Original User Guide | Pedelec Shimano Steps Version 1
3.14.4 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 condent 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.
4. Before every trip
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.
