Valves: Make sure the valve cap is inserted and the valves are clean. Dirt can cause leak-

Handlebar stem:
The handlebar stem fits into the steering tube and is held firmly by the steering lock bolt

stem, loosen the bolt with 2 or 3 turns and unlock the expander with a tap. If the bicycle is
a mountain bike, to install the handlebar refer to chapter 3.4.1.
After removing dirt and grease, lubricate again and apply a light film of grease on the fork

WARNING - Never ride the bicycle if the inscription "max. height / minimum insertion" is
visible.
WARNING - Tightening the attachment bolt or handlebar assembly too much may cause
damage to the bicycle and / or the driver.
When installing the handlebar stem again, make sure it is correctly aligned and screwed
