Dear customer,
thank you for purchase of KELLYS bicycle. We strongly encourage you to read the owner’s manual first

to enjoy your bicycle and for safety reasons too. By doing so, you will have a better understanding
for the general operation of your bike.

Your local KELLYS dealer will provide warrant y services and repairs of your bike.

TYPE OF BICYCLE USE

The bicycle is designed for use off-road on rough terrain, on public roads and on public pathways.
If you will ride your bicycle in road traffic mainly when reduced visibility you have to equip it with
lights and reflectors according relevant national law.

ADJUSTING SADDLE, STEM AND HANDLEBAR POSITION

All function parts of the bicycle are adjusted by manufacturer and checked by your local dealer
so you can safely use your bike immediately. The only thing you need to do is to set the saddle,
handlebar and stem position to provide yourself with maximum comfort and safe ope

ration of

brakes and steering of the bike.

SADDLE

SADDLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

Take a seat on bicycle. Put your foot on pedal which is in the position nearest to the ground. Heel
must be on pedal. Leg must be stretched and slightly bent in the knee for reaching right height
of saddle. If you have saddle too high you will overcharge legs and back muscles. Knee and hips
muscle overcharge will be caused by too low levelled saddle.

ADJUSTING SADDLE POSITION AND TILT

Most recommended position of saddle is when saddle is parallel with ground. Try some positions of
saddle and finally choose the one which is the best for you. It is possible to move saddle forward
and backwards towards the handlebar. Tilt adjustment and moving of saddle is possible when screw
on lock of seat tube is released. Release the screw, move the saddle in desired position and set the
tilt and then tight

en screw to keep saddle safely in requested position. Make sure that the screw

is tightened properly.

IMPORTANT WARNING

There is the minimum insertion mark on the seatpost which marks minimal required
insertion depth of seatpost into bike frame. This minimal insertion mark of seatpost must
be invisible. Make sure that the minimum insertion mark of seatpost is not visible above the
bike frame after the seatpost is inserted into the frame. Seatpost clamp screw or seatpost

quick-release must be securely tightened so the seatpost is not turnable inside the frame.
Mov

e the lever of the quick-release to the sides only, to positions OPEN or CLOSE. Do not turn

locked quick-release lever, it could get damaged!

BICYCLE MAINTENANCE

We would like to remind you to do a proper maintenance to keep your bike in a good condition.
Regularly check if all screws of your bike are properly tightened.

CRANKSET AND PEDALS

After the first 20 km tighten the crankset and also tighten the pedals to the crank arms. Check if
crank bolts are properly tightened. Check whether left crank arm screws are tightened firmly when
bottom bracket axle is integrated with right crank arm.

IMPORTANT WARNING

No check of crank arms fastening to the bottom bracket axle may result in progressive
release of crank arms and cause irreparable damage to the crank arm. Such damaged crank
arms must be replaced with new crank arms. Please contact special bike service for crank
arms replacement. Pedals must be firmly fastened in crank arms. Check tightness of pedal
fastening regularly otherwise pedals may release progressively an

d thread inside of crank

arm will be damaged. Above mentioned damages are not covered by warranty.

PEDALS ASSEMBLY

Pedals are generally marked on the axle of each pedal by letters R - right pedal and L - left pedal.

1. First lubricate the thread on pedals with grease before assembly.

2. Screw the right pedal (R) into the thread of the right crank arm (arm with chainwheels) by turning
it to the right.

3. Screw the left pedal (L) into the thread of left crank arm by turning it to the left.

4. Tighten firmly with

appropriate tool. Make sure that the shouldering of the pedal axis sits on

the crank arm.

WARNING

Clip-in pedals and pedals with toe clips or toe straps bond feet tightly with pedals which enables
higher pedalling efficiency. These pedals require usage of special cyclist shoes which are adapted
to clip-in mechanism.
Use of these pedals requires skills therefore it is recommended to train clipping-in and clipping-out
in safe place before

first ride.

BOTTOM BRACKET PARTS

Both cups of bottom bracket parts must be firmly tightened in the frame. Check them periodicaly,

mainly after ride in wet and muddy conditions. B.b.parts must rotate without any friction and loose
if not we advise you to contact a special bike service.

HEAD PARTS

Head par ts have to be sufficiently tightened and correctly assembled. If there is any loose in a head
parts, follow next steps:

1. Hold the adjustin

g cone (3) with the right wrench, and release the lock nut (1) with another

wrench.

2. Tighten the adjusting cone so there is no loose in the head parts, and fork is turning easily.

3. Hold the adjusting cone again, and tighten the lock nut to secure the head parts.
