CONCORD TURBO LEVO User Manual page 12

WARNING! Specialized bicycles are only designed and tested for use by one
person at a time. Carrying a child on your Specialized bicycle is at your own
risk. If you choose to install an accessory on your Specialized bicycle such
as a trailer, carrier, or trailer cycle, make sure it is compatible and refer to
the manufacturer's instructions and your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
You should make sure your bicycle is still safe to ride with the accessory
installed. Be sure to not exceed the structural weight limit of the bicycle when
using a trailer, trailer cycle or child carrier. Also make sure not to exceed the
maximum cargo weight when using a child carrier.
WARNING! Riding with kids on your bicycle will affect the handling by altering
the center of gravity, weight and balance. It may also negatively impact your
cornering ability, increase your stopping distance and reduce your ability to
slow down and maneuver, especially at higher speeds or down a steep grade.
All of this can result in a loss of control, potentially causing serious injury and/
or death. You should also become familiar with and practice riding with the
accessory in a controlled environment away from traffic.
WARNING! Do not attach a child carrier, trailer or similar accessory to a
composite or carbon fiber part or component, either directly or indirectly.
For example, do not attach a trailer to a rear axle when the rear triangle is
made of composite or carbon fiber. Likewise, do not attach a trailer cycle to
a composite or carbon seatpost or a child carrier to a composite or carbon
fork. Either may potentially apply unusual forces on your bicycle frame or
component which could result in damage and cause a complete failure,
with the risk of serious injury or death. If you have previously attached an
accessory to a composite or carbon fiber part or component, do not ride until
you have had your Authorized Specialized Retailer conduct a careful safety
inspection.
WARNING! Should an aftermarket saddle with coil springs be fitted to the
bicycle with a child seat installed, the coil springs must be suitably covered to
prevent potentially trapping the fingers of the child.
Before riding with kids on your bicycle, please inform yourself of all applicable
legal requirements and regulations in your country and state. There may be
restrictions on riding your bicycle with certain or any accessory(ies). This is
especially true for electric and pedal-assist bicycles.

This manual is not intended as a comprehensive assembly, use, service, repair or maintenance
guide. Please see your Authorized Specialized Retailer for all service, repairs or maintenance.
Your Authorized Specialized Retailer may also be able to refer you to classes, clinics or books
on bicycle use, service, repair, and maintenance.
WARNING! Due to the complexity of the Levo bicycle, proper assembly
requires a high degree of mechanical expertise, skill, training and specialty
tools. Therefore, it is essential for your safety that the assembly, maintenance
and troubleshooting be performed by an Authorized Specialized Retailer.
Before your first ride, make sure your components, such as brakes and
drivetrain, are assembled and adjusted in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions and are functioning properly.
WARNING! Many components on the Levo, including, but not limited to
the motor, battery and cable guides, are proprietary to the Levo. Only use
originally supplied components and hardware at all times. Use of other
components or hardware will compromise the integrity and strength of the
assembly. Levo specific components should only be used on the Levo and not
on other bicycles, even if they fit. Failure to follow this warning could result in
serious injury or death.
WARNING! Never modify your frame or bicycle in any way. Do not sand, drill,
file or remove parts from your bicycle. Do not install incompatible components
or hardware. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious personal
injury or death.
WARNING! Electrical components can be exposed when working on your
bicycle. Do not touch any part of the electrical system while under electric
charge. Do not expose the connections of the battery and frame to water. If
any live components or the battery are damaged, stop riding immediately and
bring your bicycle to your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
