NOTE: TO UNFOLD THE CLIP FOR RIDING,
REVERSE THE PROCEDURE. UNFOLD THE
PEDALS AND BE CERTAIN THE PLATFORMS ARE
LOCKED IN A FLAT POSITION. MAKE SURE ALL
QUICK RELEASES FOR THE HANDLEBAR STEM,
FRAME, AND SEAT POST ARE SECURELY FIXED.

WARNING

Both frame quick releases have an adjustment nut that controls the clamping force. A
force of 11 – 17 lbf (5 – 8 kgf) is required to open and close each quick release. IF THE
CLAMPING FORCE IS INSUFFICIENT TO CLOSE AND LOCK EITHER QUICK RELEASE,
DO NOT RIDE THE BIKE! See your Authorized Giant Retailer for adjustment. MAKE
SURE THAT THE FUNCTION OF THE ADJUSTMENT NUT AND ALL QUICK RELEASES ARE
DEMONSTRATED BY THE BICYCLE DEALER BEFORE USING THE CLIP BICYCLE!
