Adjusting The Saddle Height; Before Every Ride - Coboc TEN Merano Bedienungsanleitung

48
Make sure your TEN Merano is ready for operation and that it is adjusted
to your body height. Saddle height and handlebar position should be
adjusted properly. Your saddle should be set to a comfortable and safe
height.
Choosing a frame size that does not suit your height or a
defective adjustment may lead to loss of control and ultimately
may lead to slips or crashes which again may lead to serious
injuries and damage. If you have problems with picking the right frame size
or how to properly adjust your Coboc bike, please refer to your local
Coboc dealer.

Adjusting the saddle height

The seat post may under no circumstances be put higher than the
minimum depth of insertion. A mark at the seat post signals the
designated minimum depth of insertion. Pulling the seat post out
too far may result in crashes and serious damage to you and your bike. By
using your Coboc bike when the minimum insertion depth is undershot,
the Coboc manufacturer's warranty for any resulting damage to your bike
is void.
You may position your saddle in three different directions. First, make sure
that the seat post clamping at the frame and the saddle clamping at the
seat post are firmly tightened. Sit on the saddle and put one foot on the
pedal while posting your other foot on the ground. Now use your heel to
carefully tread the pedal until the crank arm is in line with the saddle tube.
If you are standing on the pedal but your leg is not fully extended, this
means that the saddle is probably too low. Vice versa if you have to reach
for the pedal or if you have to tip your pelvis forward, that means that your
saddle is positioned too high. If needed, you can loosen the seat post
clamping at the frame, adjust the correct saddle height and tighten the
clamping again.
Make sure that the saddle is in line with the top tube of your bike. Again,
you may loosen the seat post clamping, in order to move the saddle left
and right, before tightening it again. It is also possible to change the sad-
dle tilt relative to the top tube. Just loosen the clamping at the seat post,
adjust to your needs and tighten again.

Before Every Ride

Please bear in mind the permissible torque for all these steps (s.
table Tightening Torque) and make sure that all screw fittings are
tightened before using your Coboc bike or sitting on your saddle
to adjust it again.
Regular monitoring
Make sure that the lighting system on your TEN Merano works in the front
and in the back.
You should be able to reach both braking levers without any problems.
Also make sure to know which braking lever applies to which brake. As
standard, the right brake lever applies to the rear brake and the left brake
lever applies to the front brake. Note that the braking distance increases
and that the tires might block faster if the ground is wet.
Make sure that the screws for your saddle, handlebar and brakes are
tightened enough (s. table Tightening Torque). In case of doubt you can
try twisting saddle, handlebar or brakes. Nothing should move. Also make
sure to regularly check all other screw fittings and ensure yourself that they
are tightened correctly. Make sure that frame and fork are not damaged.
Check regularly for abrasion of friction components within the brakes (s.
chapter Maintenance & Care).
Testing the brake system
Push your Coboc bike forward while pulling the rear brake. If everything is
adjusted correctly the rear wheel should be blocking. If applying the front
brake, your rear wheel should leave the ground. Steering should not rattle
or have any play. The brake levers should not be pulled more than halfway
through during this test.
