In order to use and enjoy your bicycle safely and to get the best performance and durability from this product, please read this manual before riding. [. . . ] If there is minor loosening of the spokes, you may tighten the nipples, but it is recommended that you take the bicycle to a bicycle mechanic. If you detect a loose spoke or if the rim has a side play of more than 4mm (1/8 inch), immediately have the wheel trued by a bicycle mechanic. RIDING WITH LOOSE SPOKES MAY CAUSE THE WHEEL TO FAIL. INTERNATIONAL ECOLOGICAL SYSTEM, LTD. 1-866-742-6274 Page 10 of 19 OWNER'S MANUAL ­ IES QUICKSILVER BICYCLE COMPONENTS (continued) Tires Inflate your tires up to a maximum pressure of 40 PSI. Every time you ride, make sure that the tires are inflated according to pressure indicated on tire sidewall. Improper tire pressure will cause excessive wear, causing premature replacement. Low tire pressure will also make riding more difficult. The tire should be properly seated in the rim and the fitting of the tire bead and rim bead should be checked. If the tube is pinched between the tire and the rim, it will fail when inflated. Ensure that the tire is not cracked or unevenly worn. Check that the valve is straight in the rim. Irregular tires should be replaced immediately. Handlebar and display We have created and designed this handlebar assembly so that everything you need is within easy reach and sight while riding. To adjust the height of your handlebar, loosen the stem binder bolt by turning it counterclockwise 4 or 5 turns with your Allen wrench. Adjust the height position as desired, and remember to align the stem with the wheel before retightening the stem bolt. Make sure you cannot twist the handlebars after tightening. Caution: Loose or damaged grips on your handlebars are dangerous. If your grip comes off, you could lose control of your bicycle. A grip with the end missing can allow handlebars to seriously injure a rider during an accident. Please check that both handlebar ends are plugged. Be sure that your grips are in good repair and securely glued or fastened to the handlebars. Brakes Riding with brakes that are damaged, have worn brake shoes or cables, or are on wheels that are in poor condition or damaged may result in losing control of your bicycle. Wet weather detracts from brake performance. [. . . ] Give pedestrians the right of way and be sure to (bell, horn, voice, etc. ) alert them to your presence to avoid any type of collision.
