Bicycle Suspension; Tires And Tubes - Tern Quick Haul D7i Manuel D'utilisation

keep the inside pedal up and the outside pedal down when making sharp turns.
WARNING: Clipless pedals or pedals equipped with toeclips and straps should never be used with Tern
Pedelecs, because they significantly restrict the rider from quickly removing their feet from the pedals,
potentially resulting in resulting in serious injury. Some after-market pedals have sharp and potentially
dangerous surfaces. Consult with your Dealer if you wish to change the pedals on your Tern Pedelec.
6.F. Bicycle Suspension
Many bicycles are equipped with suspension systems. There are many different types
of suspension systems — too many to deal with individually in this Manual.
INFO: Some Tern Pedelecs come equipped with a suspension fork. If your bike has
a suspension system, make sure to read and follow the suspension manufacturer's
setup and service instructions that come included with the bike.
WARNING: Failure to maintain, check and properly adjust the suspension system may
result in suspension malfunction, which may cause you to lose control and fall.
If your bike has suspension, the increased speed you may develop also increases your risk of injury. For
example, when braking, the front of a suspended bike dips, compresses or dives. You could lose control
and fall if you do not have experience with this system. Learn to handle your suspension system safely.
WARNING: Changing suspension adjustment can change the handling and braking characteristics of your
bicycle. Never change suspension adjustment unless you are thoroughly familiar with the suspension system
manufacturer's instructions and recommendations, and always check for changes in the handling and braking
characteristics of the bicycle after a suspension adjustment by taking a careful test ride in a hazard-free area.
Suspension can increase control and comfort by allowing the wheels to better follow the terrain.
This enhanced capability may allow you to ride faster; but you must not confuse the enhanced
capabilities of the bicycle with your own capabilities as a rider. Increasing your skill will take time and
practice. Proceed carefully until you have learned to handle the full capabilities of your bike.
DANGER: Do not retrofit your Tern bicycle with any type of suspension
systems, as it may result in frame failure and serious injury or death.
6.G. Tires and Tubes
6.G.1. Tires
Bicycle tires are available in many designs and specifications, ranging from general-purpose
designs to tires designed to perform best under very specific weather or terrain conditions. If,
once you've gained experience with your new bike, you feel that a different tire might better
suit your riding needs, your Dealer can help you select the most appropriate design.
The size, pressure rating, and on some high-performance tires the specific recommended use, are marked
on the sidewall of the tire (fig. 24). The part of this information which is most important to you is tire
pressure. But some wheel rim manufacturers also specify maximum tire pressure with a label on the rim.

WARNING: Never inflate a tire beyond the maximum pressure marked on the tire's sidewall or the wheel
