CAUTION: Operate the Quick Release Lever by hand only. Do not use a ham- mer or any other tool to tighten the quick release lever.

You must use strong force to move the quick release lever to the “close” position. If you can easily move the lever to the “close” position, the clamping force is too light.

WARNING: If the clamping force of the Quick Release Lever is too light, the seat post can loosen while riding. This can cause injury to the rider or to others.

Tighten the quick release lever (continued):

•Open and close the Quick Release Lever with one hand while you turn the Adjust- ing Nut (F) with the other hand (ﬁg 11).

•Tighten or loosen the adjusting nut by hand, so that you ﬁrst feel resistance to the quick release lever when it perpendicular to the bicycle frame.

•Push the Quick Release Lever to the “close” position (ﬁg 11).

•When in the “close” position, make sure the Quick Release Lever lays against the Seat Post Clamp (E).

•The tightening torque of the Quick Release Lever should be tight enough so that the seat does not move during normal operation.
