3 . Seat
Insert the seat pillar into the seat clamp and tighten.
Insert the seat/pillar assembly into the frame tube of the bicycle
observing the minimum insertion mark on the pillar.
Ensure the seat is level and facing the front. Tighten with a 13mm ring
spanner. Turn the bicycle upside down and rest it on the seat and
handlebars.
The seat pillar must be inserted so that the minimum insertion
mark cannot be seen.

15mm open ended spanner. Note, damage will occur if pedals are not
correctly and firmly attached.
Attachment of an incorrect pedal into a crank arm will cause
irreparable damage.

before fitting the front wheel. Position it with the short end facing forward

This tab will ensure that the wheel will not fall out should the nuts
become loose. The mudguard stays are to be attached under the wheel
axle nuts. Tighten the wheel nuts using the appropriate 14mm or 15mm spanner.
