First Steps; Checking The Tightening Torques; Fitting The Pedals; Adjusting The Saddle Height - Derby cycle Impulse 2.0 Ergo Originalbetriebsanleitung

3 First steps

3.1

Checking the tightening torques

Check that all screws and important components are fas-
tened securely and correctly. You will ind a table with the
prescribed tightening torques in ¡ Chapter 12 "Technical
data" of the General User Manual (CD).
3.2

Fitting the pedals

It may be that the pedals for your Pedelec have yet to be
itted on delivery:
The right pedal (marked with an "R") is screwed clockwise
into the right crank arm. The let pedal (marked with an
"L") is screwed anticlockwise into the let crank arm. Both
pedals are screwed in tightly in the direction of the ront
wheel using a size 15 open-ended spanner or a suitable
Allen key. The tightening torque is 40 Nm.
If the pedals are not screwed in straight, the thread in
the crank arm may be severely damaged.
3.3

Adjusting the saddle height

3.3.1 Clamping bolt

If a torque is speciied (in Nm) on the seatpost clamp,
tighten the clamping bolt to this torque. If no tightening
torque is speciied, tighten an M6 bolt (dia. 6 mm) and an
M5 bolt (dia. 5 mm) to 5.5 Nm.

3.3.2 Quick-release device

For opening, the quick-release lever must be folded
back through 180° – you will see the lettering "OPEN".
For closing, fold the quick-release lever back in through
180° – you will see the lettering "CLOSE".
OPEN
Opening the quick-release lever
CLOSE
Closing the quick-release lever
As a rule of thumb, you can be conident that the
saddle clamp is suiciently secure if the quick-
release lever can only be closed using the heel
of the hand and a certain level of force. You will
feel increasing resistance rom the lever, begin-
ning when it is at approx. 90°. If the seatpost is
not clamped irmly or securely enough, tighten
the clamping nut or turn the screw clockwise by
another half a turn respectively while the quick-
release lever is open. Close the quick-release
lever and check that the saddle is securely fas-
tened once more.
Check that all quick-release levers are fastened
correctly and securely before every journey and
every time you return to your bike having let it
unattended.
With regard to the saddle height, there is a sim-
ple test procedure: Whilst sitting on the saddle,
the heel of your ully-stretched leg should reach
the lowest pedal position. By contrast, the balls
of your feet should reach the centre of the pedal
in the lowest pedal position with your leg bent
slightly.
