Note:
When working on your bicycle as instructed by this guide, please refer to the torque values chart on the final pages for detailed torque requirements.
Under- or over-tightened components may loosen or break, causing a fall.
Steps in this guide that call for the use of bicycle grease do so in the interest of keeping your bicycle in working condition for as long as possible. Grease
is not absolutely vital to the assembly of this product, but failure to apply it as directed could cause parts to seize over time and irreparably damage the
frame or components.
Because bicycle parts tend to be greasy, it is recommended that you lay down a tarp or sheet to protect your floor if assembling the bike indoors.
It is best to remove the protective packaging during the assembly process only as needed, leaving some intact to protect the bike during assembly.
During assembly it may be helpful to reference the photos on the cover of this guide and on the bicycle box if you are unsure of any steps.
Please take the time to read the battery care and storage section of your manual for useful information on prolonging the life of your battery.
Please recycle
packaging materials!
