Side View Mirrors; Front Fork Maintenance; Before Your First Ride - Helio Electric Cycle Owner's Manual

some a little farther away. Some will prefer the saddle tipped forward a little, some
tipped back a little. Here's how to adjust it:
1. Loosen the saddle clamping mechanism underneath the saddle with the allen
key. (It may be easier to remove the saddle and seat post from the Helio
before loosening the saddle clamp)
2. Slide the saddle backward or forward on its rails to the desired position, and
adjust the tilt angle to the desired position.
3. Retighten the saddle clamping mechanism.

Side view mirrors

The Helio Cycle includes two side view mirrors that you will need to install. You will
find these mirrors in two identical white boxes, one labeled "R" for Right Side, and
one labeled "L" for Left Side. Screw the mirrors into their respective mounts on the
handlebars. These mounts are found on each side of the handlebars attached to the
brake handles.

Front fork maintenance

Just like a car, your Helio Cycle needs to be maintained. The front suspension fork
will give you years of riding enjoyment and comfort if you follow a few simple tips
recommended for cleaning and maintaining your front fork.
Every week or after approximately 10 hours of riding:
1. Peel the rubber fork boots up, and check the underlying metal for dirt or other
contamination.
2. Apply a few drops of Teflon impregnated oil (available at your local bike store)
around the seals to maintain proper lubrication.
3. Remove the rubber boots, and bounce up and down on the handlebars of the
Cycle to check for any sticking or chattering.
Every 6 months or if the metal underneath the boots looks excessively dirty:
1. Take your Cycle to any bicycle shop and ask them to disassemble and clean
the front fork
2. Only a qualified mechanic should perform this procedure because they have
the right tools and the right knowledge necessary for disassembly of the front
fork.

Before your first ride

OK, your Helio Cycle is assembled and you're ready to go... almost. Just one more
thing to take care of. It's your responsibility to make sure you comply with all local
laws concerning operation of your Helio Cycle on public roads.
If registration and insurance are required, take care of it before you ride your Helio
Cycle. You may need to supply the registry with the Certificate Of Conformity, which
is found in the literature packet or provided by the reseller of the cycle.
