CAUTION:
!
For your brakes to work eectively, the wheel
(or rim) must be “true.” Do not attempt to true a wheel unless
you have the knowledge, tools and experience. Truing the wheel
is better left to your local bicycle mechanic to ensure your wheel
performs properly and safely.
WARNING:
!
Loose or damaged handlebar grips
can cause you to lose control of the bicycle and fall. Unplugged
handlebar ends can cut your body (handlebar ends are often cut
when the bicycle is assembled and may not be led to remove
sharp edges or spurs) and can cause serious injury in an otherwise
minor accident.
WARNING:
!
Failure to conrm compatibility or to properly
install and maintain any component or accessory can result in
serious injury or damage to your bicycle.
WARNING:
!
Changing components or accessories on your
bicycle may void the warranty. Please refer to your warranty and
check with your local dealer before making any changes to your
bicycle.
Brakes: Check to see the brakes are working correctly (see Sec-
tion 4.3). Squeeze the brake levers for both front and rear brakes
and look to see if the front wheel quick- release lever is closed, all
control cables are seated and securely engaged, and that the brake
discs are intact. Also, check that the brake levers, when fully squeezed,
do not touch the handle-bar. If you nd a problem, DO NOT RIDE THE
BICYCLE and take the bicycle to your local dealer for service.
Quick Release: Check to see the front wheel and seat post
quick-release mounts are properly adjusted and securely fas-
tened. (see Sections THREE and FOUR, respectively)
Handlebar and Saddle Adjustment: Check to see the handlebar
stem and suspension seat post are properly aligned and securely
fastened. Make sure the handlebar stem and suspension seat post are
parallel with the bicycle’s “center line” (imagine a straight line that runs
from the rear tire to the front tire). Also, ensure the stem and post are
clamped securely so that neither can be twisted or moved.
Handlebar Ends: Check to see the handlebar grips are secure
and in good condition.
Battery Container: Ensure the battery container is locked in
place and connected; check by depressing the mode button on
the command console to conrm digital control activation.
Bicycle Suspension: For your seat post suspension, check the
rail clamp plate screw for proper torque and that the seat post
quick-release is properly tightened (see Section FOUR for more de-
tails). For the front suspension fork, ensure that it is set correctly for
the terrain you have chosen for your ride.
