Operating Quick-Release Fasteners - Flyer MOUNTAIN Série Notice Originale

(See the separate "Technical Data" op-
erating instructions document) . If they
are fitted at an angle, there is a danger
that they will break and cause a fall .
(See the separate "Technical Data" op-
erating instructions document .)
For safety reasons, we strongly advise
not using pedals with clips or straps .
Ensure that you have read the manufac-
turer's instructions before using clipless
or step-in pedals . Practise clipping your
shoes in and out of the pedals' locking
system before your first ride in a quiet,
safe place . Clipless pedals which do not
properly release are a safety hazard .
The release force of step-in pedals can
be adjusted. Please test this on your first
ride with a setting that releases easily .
Regularly clean the step-in pedals and
service them with a suitable lubricant .
The pedal surfaces may be very rough .
This improves the grip on the pedal .
Leather soles may be damaged by the
rough surface .
13.1 Operating quick-release
fasteners and axles
The wheels, seat post, seat, stem and handlebars
may be attached with quick-release fasteners,
quick-release axles or screw connections.
Only allow your FLYER specialist retailer
to perform work on quick-release fasten-
ers and quick-release axles. These are
components which are crucial for your
safety, so incorrect work and tools in this
area of the bicycle could lead to serious
falls .
Quick-release fasteners
Quick-release fasteners are clamping brackets
which attach components like a screw, however
their clamping force stems from tightening the le-
ver without tools . The clamping force is activated
by opening and closing the lever .
The clamping force is adjusted by turning the
counter nut when the lever is open .
1 . In order to open a quick-release fastener, to
adjust the seat post for example, open the
quick-release lever .
2 . Now you can move and adjust the seat post .
3 . The quick-release fastener must be securely
closed before using the FLYER . Completely
fold down the quick-release lever for that pur-
pose . Fully engage any possible safety devic-
es .
The quick-release fastener is only se-
curely closed when you need the power
of the ball of your hand to close the
clamping lever .
Loosening the adjusting nut
The adjustment nut of the quick-release fastener
must be tightened when the tightening force is not
high enough, e .g . when the seat does not stay
in position . To do this, the clamping lever must
be open .
The quick-release fastener cannot be closed
when the tightening force is too high . Open the
clamping lever in this case and slightly loosen the
adjustment nut .
• All quick-release fasteners must be
firmly closed before you set off.
• Check all quick-release fasteners for
correct attachment if the vehicle was
parked for a short time without super-
vision and before every ride .
• A closed quick-release fastener must
be folded close to the frame, fork or
seat post .
Lock down wheels or other parts of your
vehicle that are attached with quick-re-
lease fasteners when you park your bi-
cycle .
