SETUP AND USE
The Command Post provides the rider with a simple and convenient way to change saddle height without tools and, sometimes, without having to get off the bike.
Adjusting the Command Post position while riding may result in loss of control.
Check cable tension if the Command Post suddenly rises or lowers while riding. Ideally, there should be about 1mm of play between the cable ferrule and the barrel adjust.
The remote lever is used to change the height of the Command Post:
»»To move the saddle up, press the remote lever and guide the saddle upward to either the Cruiser or Power position.
»»To move the saddle down, slowly unweight the saddle, press the remote lever and guide the saddle to the Cruiser or Descender position.
The Command Post uses an air spring to propel the saddle upwards. The pressure in the Command Post is factory set to 25 psi (1.72 bar). Specialized recommends that body weight be used to guide the saddle up or down.
Never exceed 35 psi (2.41 bar) in the Command Post air chamber.
MAINTENANCE
Routine maintenance of the Command Post will provide years of
Every 3 months: Check air pressure, or sooner if you notice a significant decrease in saddle movement speed. Use a standard shock pump to check and increase/ decrease air pressure between the 20 to 30 psi (1.38 to 2.07 bar) range.
After 1 year or 150 hours: Have your local Specialized authorized dealer inspect and, if necessary, service the Command Post.
The air chamber must be fully discharged before performing any service. Discharge the air chamber in the Power position.
ADDITIONAL WARNINGS
The Command Post is marked with a minimum insertion line. This is the minimum amount of insertion required for the Command Post to remain structurally safe. However, some frames require additional insertion to ensure that the frame remains structurally sound as well. The base of the Command Post should extend far enough into the seat tube to extend below the underside of the top tube.
Specialized Authorized Dealers: Before conducting any service or inspection of the internal parts, make sure the Command Post is at full height (Power position) and completely release all air pressure from the air chamber.
