6.3.2.2 Height-adjustable seat post
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
When using your seat post for the first time, you
must give it a firm push downwards to set it in
motion. This is due to the natural tendency of the
seal to repel oil from the seal surface. You only
need to do this before the first use or after a
longer period of non-use. Once you have
displaced the post through its deflection, the oil
spreads on the seal and the post begins to
function normally.

6.3.2.3 Adjusting the seat position
1
The saddle can be shifted on the saddle frame.
The right horizontal position ensures an optimal
leverage position for legs. This prevents knee
pain and painful incorrect pelvis positions. If you
have displaced the saddle more than 10 mm, you
then need to adjust the saddle height again since
both settings affect one another.
To adjust the seat position safely, either push the
pedelec near to a wall, so that you can lean on the
wall to support yourself or ask another person to
hold the pedelec for you.
Climb onto the pedelec.
Place the pedals into the vertical position (3
o'clock position) with your feet.
The rider is sitting in the optimal sitting position
if the knee cap perpendicular line runs through
the pedal axle. If the perpendicular line crosses
behind the pedal, bring the saddle forward. If
the perpendicular line crosses in front of the
pedal, bring the saddle back. Move the saddle
