The UPLOCK® bicycle lock system is a folding lock with a high security
standard and at the same time an intelligent transport solution for the lock,
combined in one product. The lock is simply stowed away invisibly and
protected in the specially designed seat post. This means that no additional
bracket is required. The folding lock is fully integrated into the supplied
UPLOCK® seat post. An existing saddle can simply be remounted and reused.
By purchasing this patented bicycle lock system, you have opted for a product
with high quality standards. The UPLOCK® bicycle lock systems are produced
using the most modern and optimized manufacturing processes and high-
quality materials and equipped with the best components.

or your specialist dealer.
- Ensure the operational safety of your UPLOCK® system.
- Read the following sections "Before your first ride", "Before every ride"

Commissioning
- Remove the UPLOCK lock system from the presentation packaging and
remove all packaging material.

please contact the specified service address.
- When delivered, the lock is in the transport position inside the UPLOCK®
seat post. The lock is therefore not locked.
Before the first ride
We expressly recommend checking the general roadworthiness of the bicycle
in general and the operational safety of the seat post in particular before every
ride.
1. Check that the saddle is firmly anchored to the saddle clamp.
2. Make sure that the seat post tube is firmly connected to the bicycle
frame and that there is no play. Observe the minimum insertion depth of
the seat post.
3. The load limit of the seat post must not be exceeded. The UPLOCK® seat
post was only designed for the use described in the chapter "Intended
use".
4. The maximum permissible total weight (bike + rider + luggage) for which
your bike is designed must be observed - see chapter "Intended use".
5. Handlebar and saddle height must be adjusted to your height - see
"Fitting the UPLOCK® seat post".
Before every ride
Your UPLOCK® system has been checked several times during the production
process and by final inspection. Nevertheless, changes may have occurred
during transportation or manipulation.
1. Visually inspect all fastening screws. The UPLOCK® must not have any
mechanical damage in the form of deep scratches, notches or chipping.
No unusual noises should be audible, which could be an indication that
the screw connections are not tight.
2. The locking lever must be firmly closed before every ride, "KEEP
CLOSED". Check this even if the bike is only left unattended for a short
time.
3. To check the seat post, lean on your saddle and push it up/down
alternately. This allows you to check whether the tilt function is correctly
locked.
After a fall
If components are bent after a fall, they must never be realigned. There is an
increased risk of breakage. External influences, falls or accidents can damage
safety-relevant components such as the seat post. The following points must
be observed in order to avoid dangerous situations while riding:
- Alternately push the saddle up/down or try to twist it to check the screw
or clamp connection between the saddle and seat post.

It must not be possible to twist or move the saddle. This method can also
be used to check that the seat post is firmly seated in the frame and that
the tilt function is correctly locked/functioning.
- Lift your bike briefly and let it bounce on the ground. Make sure that no
unusual rattling noises can be heard - it can help to identify loose screw
connections or a malfunction of the seat post tilting mechanism.

Safety instructions
Installation is easy on bicycles and e-bikes, but make sure you check the
installation requirements beforehand. If you do not have the necessary
specialist knowledge, we strongly recommend that you have it fitted by a
specialist dealer. The seat post must be replaced to avoid further accident
risks after a fall with damage. Always check that the saddle is firmly anchored
in the saddle clamp. Also make sure that the seat post tube is firmly
connected to the bicycle frame with no play. It must be clamped in the desired
position so that it cannot turn or move in the seat tube. Observe the minimum
insertion depth of the seat post.
