First Ride; Mechanical Safety Check - Tern Quick Haul D7i Bedienungsanleitung

• When adjusting your saddle height, make sure to note the Minimum Insertion Instructions (4.B).
• The saddle and seatpost must be securely clamped. A correctly tightened
saddle will allow no saddle movement in any direction (4.B).
• The stem and handlebars need to be the right height for you (4.C).
• Make sure you can you comfortably operate the brakes. See Section
4.D, 4.E and 6.C to learn more about adjusting the brakes.
1.C. First Ride
When you buckle on your helmet and go for your first ride on your new Pedelec, be sure to
select a controlled environment, away from cars, other cyclists, obstacles or other hazards.
Ride to become familiar with the controls, features and performance of your new bike.
Familiarize yourself with the braking action of the bike (6.C). Make sure you know which
brake is the rear brake and which is the front. Test the brakes at slow speed, putting
your weight toward the rear and gently applying the brakes, rear brake first.
Sudden or excessive application of the front brake could pitch you over the handlebars.
Applying brakes too hard can lock up a wheel, which could cause you to lose control
and fall. Skidding is an example of what can happen when a wheel locks up.
If your bike has suspension, familiarize yourself with how the suspension
responds to brake application and rider weight shifts (6.F).
Practice shifting the gears (6.D). Remember to never move the shifter while pedaling backwards, or pedal
backwards immediately after shifting. This could jam the chain and cause serious damage to the bicycle.
Check the handling and responsiveness of the bike, and check for comfort.
If you have any questions, or if you feel anything about the bike is not
as it should be, consult your Dealer before you ride again.
1.D. Mechanical Safety Check
Routinely check the condition of your bicycle before every ride.
• Wheel retention system: Make sure the front and rear wheels are correctly secured (6.A).
• Check the brakes for proper operation (6.C). Squeeze the brake levers. Are the brake quick-
releases closed? Are all control cables seated and securely engaged? Do the brakes begin
to engage within an inch of brake lever movement? Can you apply full braking force at the
levers without having them touch the handlebar? If not, your brakes need adjustment. Do not
ride the bike until the brakes are properly adjusted by a professional bicycle mechanic.
• Seatpost: If your seatpost has an over-center cam action fastener for easy height
adjustment, check that it is properly adjusted and in the locked position (6.B).
• Handlebar and saddle alignment: Make sure the saddle and handlebar
stem are parallel to the bike's center line and clamped tight enough
so that you can't twist them out of alignment (4.B and 4.C).
• Handlebar ends: Make sure the handlebar grips are secure and in good condition, with no cuts,
tears, or worn out areas. If not, have your Dealer replace them. Make sure the handlebar ends
and extensions are plugged. If not, have your Dealer plug them before you ride. If the handlebars
have bar end extensions, make sure they are clamped tight enough so you can't twist them.
WARNING: Loose or damaged handlebar grips or extensions can cause you to lose control and fall.
Unplugged handlebars or extensions can cut you and cause serious injury in an otherwise minor accident.
• Make sure tires are correctly inflated (6.G). Check by putting one hand on the saddle,
one on the intersection of the handlebars and stem, then bouncing your weight
on the bike while looking at tire deflection. Compare what you see with how it
looks when you know the tires are correctly inflated; and adjust if necessary.
