INTRODUCTION
Welcome electric bicycle owner! Thank you for pur- chasing your ZAP Electric Bicycle - we are confident that you will love it. The innovative ZAP Power System you have pur- chased will bring you many hours of fun and enjoyment. However, before you start enjoying your bike, some assembly is required. We strongly suggest that your ZAP Electric Bike be assembled and tuned by a professional bike mechanic. If you need assistance in working with a local bike dealer, please call ZAP

4b) HOW TO FASTEN THE SEAT QUICK RELEASE
Open and close the quick release lever with your right hand while gradually tightening the adjusting nut (located on the opposite side of the seatpost) with your left hand in the clock- wise direction. Continue tightening the nut until you feel resis- tance with your hand at the point when the lever is parallel to the seatpost. Grip the seatpost with your fingers and use the palm of your hand to close the lever with as much strength as possi- ble. When closed, the lever must be in the “CLOSE” position. The side of the lever with the inscription “CLOSE” must be fac- ing away from the seatpost.
1) REMOVING PACKAGING
Carefully remove all packing material from bicycle and inspect the bike for any damages which may have occurred during shipping. If necessary, please call both the shipper and ZAP immediately to report any damage.
2) OWNER’S MANUALS
Before you begin assembly, thoroughly read through the ZAP Owner’s Manual, ZAP Owner’s Manual Supplemental, and this assembly sheet. Review page four of the ZAP Owner’s Manual Supplemental. Please refer to the Torque Ratings Guide when tightening or securing bicycle parts. All bicycle parts referred to during assembly will have a number corresponding to the dia- gram appearing on this page.

(If you are also installing a ZAP PowerLight, the light bracket should be installed beneath the headset top- nut.) Remove the top nut from the fork. While align- ing the cable hanger’s tooth with the groove on the steerer tube, slide the brake cable hanger onto the forks’ steerer tube. Next,
installing the front brake cable hanger, inspect the adjustment for the headset bearings. If the fork does not turn freely, first loosen by turning counterclockwise the top nut and then loosen the cone, then
