WARNING

post before your first ride.
x Only operate the telescopic seat post if it will not take any of
your attention off the road and terrain.
x Stop if you cannot operate the telescopic seat post safely.

Loss of eyesight on contact with hydraulic fluid.

x If hydraulic fluid gets in your eye, rinse it out with clean water

Depending on the cycle model, there may be a telescopic seat post installed. A telescopic
seat post allows the saddle height to be adjusted by operating a lever underneath the
saddle or a remote control on the handlebars, both at a standstill and while riding.
Height adjustments may be stepped or stepless, depending on the design of the
telescopic seat post. When the handlebar remote control is operated, this is transmitted
to the telescopic seat post either mechanically, hydraulically or via a wireless signal.
x Refer to information from the telescopic seat post manufacturer.
x If you lack the necessary expertise or the tools required to adjust, maintain or
operate the telescopic seat post, contact your dealer.
