• Loosen the Seat Clamp (A).
• Put the seat in the correct position
and tighten the Seat Clamp tighter
than before.
• Do this test again, until the seat does
not move in the Seat Clamp.

• Move the Quick Release Lever (D) to
the "open" position.

and tighten the Quick Release Lever
tighter than before.
• If necessary, loosen Quick Release
Lever, tighten Adjusting Nut (F) and
re-tighten Quick Release Lever.
