Quick Release Saddle Height Adjustment - Ratikon SPTtot007 User Manual

3.5.6 To refit the pads, hold the pads complete with spring as an assembly and insert into the
caliper slot with the metal backing towards the pistons. Refit the pad retaining screw
ensuring it passes through the holes in the pad tabs and through the hole in the spring and
tighten to 3– 5 N.m. Refit the caliper loosely using the two Allen screws, apply the brake
lever and tighten securely to 6 to 8N.m whilst continuing to apply the brake lever. (N.B. use
of a thread locking compound is recommended on the caliper fixing screws).
Warning: If you are unsure about any part of the brake installation process you should seek
advice from a Ratikon service center or qualified mechanic.
Caution: The pads and rotor must be kept clean and free from oil or grease based
contamination. If the pads become contaminated, you must discard them and replace them
with a new set. A contaminated disc should be cleaned with a proprietary brake cleaning
solution.
3.6 The connectors
3.8.1 All electronic components have individual connectors, this allows for the easy removal for
diagnosis, repair or replacement of any of the electronic parts. The connectors, being a push
fit are simple to disconnect or reconnect and click into position when fully engaged. Each
connector has a different number of pins and an alignment arrow, so it is important to
ensure the connectors are only mated in their original positions, damage may occur to the
pins if this procedure is not followed.

3.7 Quick release saddle height adjustment

3.9.1 Your Ratikon bike has been fitted with a quick release saddle post fitting to facilitate the
movement of the saddle height.
3.9.2 It is important that the knurled nut on the fitting is tightened so the post will not move in
the bike tube. Make this adjustment with the quick release lever in the open position.
3.89.3 Adjust the seat to the correct height and close the lever firmly. When you sit on the saddle
there should be no vertical movement at all in the saddle post beyond the seat post
suspension movement. Never apply grease to the saddle post. Always check the minimum
insert mark on the seat tube to avoid injuries and frame damage.
