Loose Accessories; Luggage Rack; Race Bar Attachments - Argon 18 E-Road Operation Manual

Loose accessories

You always have to fit the enclosed
accessories in line with the guide-
lines and instructions. You have to
ensure that screwed connections are se-
cured with the correct torque (see page
39) "Bolted connections")
• Only use add-on parts which satisfy the
requirements of the applicable legal guide-
lines and road traffic regulations.
• Using unpermitted accessories can result
in accidents. You should therefore only
use original accessories and add-on parts
which fit your pedelec.
• Allow your specialist retailer to advise you.

Luggage rack

Only install baggage racks on
pedelecs which are suitable for this
kind of equipment. Use only the in-
tended fixing devices. Never attach a bag-
gage rack to the seat post! It is not designed
for this purpose. Overloading of the seat
post by a luggage rack can break the seat
post and lead to serious accidents.

When loading, please make sure
not to cover the front or rear lights or
reflectors!
Avoid uneven loading of the luggage racks.
Not all parts and frames made out
of carbon can be com-
bined! Read the manufacturer's
manual and ask your specialist retailer.

Race bar attachments

The seat and handlebar position of
time trial and triathlon bikes is con-
siderably different from that of con-
ventional racing bikes. Please allow special-
ists to advise you on the seating position of
your time trial or triathlon bike.
Time trial / triathlon handlebar attachment
The behaviour of a bicycle with a TT
handlebar or attachments can be
dangerously different to what you
are used to. The movement required of the
hands from the time trial position to the brake
or gear handles is also longer and unfamiliar.
Please practice this in a safe area until you
have mastered the controls of the bicycle.
