Important Safety Information
WARNING
•Do not disassemble or modify the product. This may cause the product to not operate correctly, and you may suddenly fall and be seriously injured.
•Refer to this information in conjunction with your seat post manual, and be sure that you understand the seat height adjustment mechanism. Careless operation of the lever may make the seat suddenly descend, causing you to fall and be seriously injured.
•Make sure you are fully familiar with the adjustment mechanism before attempting to adjust the seat height while riding. Otherwise, your feet may come off the pedals, causing you to fall and be seriously injured. At first, you should ride slowly on safe, level ground and thoroughly practice adjusting the seat height until you can do it safely, without your feet coming off the pedals.
