Shifting And Tilting The Saddle - Kalkhoff IMPULSE EVO RS Notice Originale

2. Close the quick-release skewer by
swinging the lever by 180˚. You will
now usually be able to see the word
'CLOSE' on the outside of the lever.
DANGER
It should be so hard to close the quick-release skewer that you need
to use the balls of your hands (120 N: corresponds to a weight force
of 12 kg). You should have the mark of the lever imprinted on your
hand. Otherwise, it could open when you are cycling, which could
lead to the seatpost coming loose and causing you to fall. If you close
the quick-release skewer too tightly, the seatpost can break; if this
happens when you are cycling, you could fall.

Shifting and tilting the saddle

DANGER
Never clamp the saddle in the curve of the saddle rail; always do it in
the straight section. Only shift the saddle within the straight section
(fig. 1). Saddles that stay clamped outside this area can fail (fig. 2).

Use a torque wrench to tighten the clamping screws. Observe the
specified torque setting. If no value is shown on the component, use
the torque settings from the following table:
Thread Tightening torque [Nm]
M5 /M6 /M7 /M8 M5: 5 /M6: 10 /M7: 14/ M8: 22
Failure to comply can result in screws/bolts becoming loose, tearing
away or fracturing. If that happens while you are riding the bike,
components may come off and you could have a severe crash. If
screws are overtightened, components can also be damaged.
