WARNING
• Before riding the bicycle, check that the ring is turned to the
“FREE” side (in the clockwise direction) as far as it will go and that the red “ ” mark is aligned with the center of the frame.
When the ring is in this position, the handlebar should turn smoothly.
• If you try to ride the bicycle while the ring is turned to the
“STOP” position, it will not be possible to turn the handlebar in the normal way, and a serious accident may result.
• The handlebar will also not turn in the normal way while the ring is set to somewhere between the “FREE” and “STOP” positions. If you try to ride the bicycle with the ring in this condition, a serious accident may result.
• Never turn the ring to the “STOP”. position while riding, as this will stop the handlebar from turning normally, which could cause a serious accident.
• Do not hang any luggage in the area of the handlebar while riding, as there is the danger that the luggage might touch the ring and move it away from the “FREE” position and toward the “STOP” position.
• Avoid putting a child’s seat forward of the bicycle seat, as the child might accidentally touch the ring while sitting in this seat.
• Do not leave the bicycle alone while a child is sitting in the child’s seat otherwise the bicycle may fall over and serious injury to the child may result.
• Make sure you fully understand how the ring operates before you ride the bicycle. If you have any questions regarding operation, please contact your nearest bicycle shop.
