15.Adjust the saddle to the desired fore-aft position.

16.Torque saddle head clamp assembly to 120 in-lbf (13.5 N-m) (see fig. 1).

i	To avoid damage to the seat post/saddle assembly, align the arrows on the bolt
	and the rail clamp (see fig. 1).

17.Raise the saddle to the Power position, then readjust the Command Post to proper height, if necessary.

i	Verify cable housing length and check full range of Command Post travel. Make
	sure the cable housing does not interfere with any bicycle components. In the
	Power position the cable housing should enter the barrel adjust in a straight
	trajectory, and the ferrule should have approximately 1mm of play between itself
	and the barrel adjust (see fig. 7).
	7	IN THE POWER POSITION, THE CABLE HOUSING NEEDS TO ENTER THE BARREL ADJUST

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 trouble-free performance. „„ Before every ride: Clean the exposed portion of the Command Post shaft with a rag.

„„ 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.

1MM OF PLAY

18.Using the enclosed zip-ties, secure the cable housing along the length of the top tube, if possible. The cable housing should be oriented in smooth arcs as it leaves the remote lever and as it approaches the saddle head, while maintaining the 1mm of play as it enters the barrel adjust.
