YOUR NEW BATAVUS
Your new Batavus is an ideal bicycle
which will give you years of pleasure.
And not only for your daily trips. It is
perfectly suited to more demanding
tours, too.
The DAILY USE section of Batavus
bicycles comprises the CLASSICAL,
TREND, COMPACT BIKE and PERSONAL
BIKE models.
With the aid of this service booklet,
with its clear drawings and practical in-
structions, you will be able to get even
more enjoyment from your bicycle. It
is important that you take the time to
read it carefully and then to keep it
within arm's reach for use in the future.
In the fi rst instance, please approach
your Batavus dealer if you have any
questions and/or complaints.
GETTING ACQUAINTED
Your Batavus dealer has prepared your
bicycle for your use with a great deal
of care.
You will, of course, already be familiar
with the scenario for 'handing over':
useful tips for the user, adjustment of
the handlebars and saddle height, the
signing of the Certifi cate of Ownership
and perhaps an appointment for the
fi rst service.

The adventure can begin and, fi rst of
all, this means getting acquainted with
your bicycle. Take the time to expe-
rience what the brakes and gears have
got going for them and whether the
handlebars and saddle have been cor-
rectly adjusted.
I M P O R T A N T
• When you pick up your Batavus
bicycle all the components described
in this booklet will have been pro-
perly adjusted in accordance with your
requirements. Any components to be
delivered separately (basket, bag, pe-
dals, bell) will also have been fi tted by
your Batavus dealer.
• Some components must be adjusted
again after a time. It is best to have this
carried out by your Batavus dealer.
• This booklet is an important aid for
those who want, and are able, to make
these adjustments themselves. We ad-
vise, however, that you always consult
your Batavus dealer before doing so.
He is not only the supplier of your bicy-
cle, but also a specialist who can advise
you on such matters.
• Check whether there are any tips and/or
recommendations in the service booklet
before you start work on your bicycle.
These manufacturer's tips and recom-
mendations must always be followed.
• The tips and recommendations in this
booklet will increase your safety and
improve the cycling comfort of your
bicycle. Batavus can, however, not rule
out the possibility of damage, even if
they are meticulously followed. You
can therefore not derive any rights
from this booklet (with the excep-
tion of the guarantee provided in it).
Batavus is not liable for any damages,
unless mandatory statutory provisions
provide otherwise.
• If activities carried out on your bicycle
fall under the guarantee given by
Batavus, the materials concerned will
be reimbursed or made available in
accordance with the conditions of the
guarantee. The labour costs for as-
sembling the components are for your
own account, with the exception of the
costs of assembling frames and/or front
forks within the fi rst 3 years of the
purchase of a new bicycle.

cing the saddle pin higher or lower.
Contact your dealer for information on
the best way to establish the proper
saddle height.
