6. LIGHTS

All Union bikes come fitted with front and rear lights to allow you to cycle safely in traffic.
In this section you can read all about the operation of the different types of lights and how
to carry out minor repairs.

6.1 CONTROLS

Union has bikes with battery lights and lights powered by a hub dynamo. All lights can be
switched on or off except for the Union Lite, which stays on all the time for optimum safety.
Thanks to the free-running hub dynamo you won't feel a thing!
The other front and rear lights (see fig. 8, 9 and 10) are switched on using the sliding on/
off switch (A). The lights on electric bikes are switched on or off on the handlebar display.
You will find the explanation for this in section 8 "electric bikes". Below you will find an
example of different buttons on the lights.

6.2 REPAIRS OR REPLACING A BATTERY

Battery lights on your Union are fitted with LED bulbs with a very long lifespan. If, however,
the light fails to switch on, check for a red tab marked "PULL", and remove it. If the light
still fails to switch on after you have done this, the batteries probably need replacing. If
your hub dynamo lights do not work, check whether the cable from the light is connected
correctly to the hub and the light. If the lights do not work after this check, we recommend
you to consult your Union dealer for advice.

Replacing the battery in the front light
Do you have a Spanninga Swingo front light (see figs. 11 and 12)? To replace the battery,
you will need to prise the lens off the light using a coin in the indentation (B).

Replacing the battery in the rear light
In the rear light (see fig. 13) you can loosen the screw (B) before removing the cover. You
will see the batteries straight away, in order to replace them. Bear in mind that the screw
may be located behind the on/off switch.

7. CHILD SEATS

Riding your Union is even more fun with your little one at the front or rear, but do take
care, because this is a delicate matter. There are a few things you must bear in mind
if you want to attach a child seat. If you want to fit a child seat on the front of the bike,
choose a model which mounts on the handlebar stem. We advise against fitting a seat
that is mounted onto the handlebar itself. When it comes to rear seats, we recommend
you choose one that comes with a seat tube attachment and/or frame attachment. This is
much stronger and safer than mounting it onto the luggage carrier. Do not use a child seat
to carry children unless it is EN 14344 approved. Whatever you choose, seek the advice
of your Union dealer, who can give you the best advice on whether your seat is safe and
properly secured.
NB
• Carrying another person is only permitted within the framework of the applicable
statutory provisions.
• Cover any exposed coil springs under the saddle to prevent the child's fingers from
getting trapped in them.
