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. Turn the bicycle upside down and rest it on the seat and
handlebars.
The seat pillar 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.
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 p. 73-76 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.
