Seat
Loosen nut on the seat clamp and add 3 or 4 drops of oil onto the threads
of the bolt. Place the smaller end of the seat post into the seat clamp until
it stops with the bolt to the rear of the seat post. Thread the nut on the seat
clamp loosely. Insert the larger end of the seat post into the seat tube of
the bicycle frame observing the minimum insertion mark on the seat post.
Position the top surface of the seat parallel with the ground. The serrations on
the seat clamp must mesh completely with the seat frame serrations, push the
front of the seat up and down to align the serrations. Securely tighten the seat
clamp. Securely tighten the bolts on the seat post clamp.
The seat post must be inserted so that the minimum
insertion mark cannot be seen.
Attachment of an incorrect pedal into a crank arm will
cause irreparable damage to the crank, the pedal or both.
Pedals & Crank Set
Look for the letters “R” for right, and “L” for left, stamped on each pedal spindle.
Start each pedal spindle by hand to avoid stripping the threads. Tighten with a
15mm narrow open ended wrench. Note that the right hand pedal attaches to the
chainwheel side crank arm with a right-hand (clockwise) thread. The left pedal
attaches to the other crank arm and has a left-hand (counter-clockwise) thread. It
is very important that you check the crank set for correct adjustment and tightness
before riding your bicycle. New cranks may become loose with initial use, refer
to pages 103-106 for proper crank set adjustment and maintenance. Once the
pedals have been attached, check that the crank arm rotates smoothly and that
there is no lateral movement.
