6.3 Chain tension adjustment
it is advised to check with your dealer for correct chain tension
setting.
1. Loosen the rear dropout bolt (bolt A) with a 5 mm. Allen Key
(see fig. D-1).
2. Loosen the rear hub bolt (bolt B) with the Allen Key.
3.
You can adjust the chain tension by rotating the rear hub with your
hands.
Make sure the chain can work smoothly while adjusting it.
4.
Lock the loosened screws (Bolt B & A) with a 5 mm Allen Key.

6.4 Adjusting the quick release mechanism.

Unique Design: "Guiding Screw".
In order to offer the convenient storage function and an easy way to adjust
the height of the seat post, we have designed a guiding screw (see fig E-1)
on the seat post. This will ensure that the riding position will be maintained
whilst adjusting the height of the seat post. This keeps you from having to
check seat post alignment every time you adjust the height of the seat
post.
When you adjust the height of the seat post to its lowest position, the
saddle or seat post may ram into the carrier, so please make sure to adjust
the carrier to the appropriate position
(not too much forward, see section 6.6).
The saddle won't move when the seat post and the saddle are aligned. You can try to loosen the black guiding
screw on the seat tube (see fig. E-1), then you can easily move the saddle.
But the alignment function will disappear.
Watch out when you fold the frame and the saddle is NOT aligned with the bike. The saddle may damage the
frame when you fold it.
The action of the quick release cam squeezes the seat collar around the seat post to hold the seat post securely
in place. The tension-adjusting nut controls the amount of clamping force.
Turning the tension adjusting nut clockwise while keeping the cam lever from rotating increases clamping force;
turning it anti-clockwise while keeping the cam lever from rotating reduces clamping force. Less than half a turn of
the tension-adjusting nut can make the difference between a safe clamping force and an unsafe clamping force
(see fig. E-3 & 4).
