IMPORTANT:
This manual contains important safety, performance and service information. Read it before you take the
first ride on your new bicycle, and keep it for reference.
Additional safety, performance and service information for specific components such as suspension
or pedals on your bicycle, or for accessories such as helmets or lights that you purchase, may also be
available. Make sure that your dealer has given you all the manufacturers' literature that was included with
your bicycle or accessories. In case of a conflict between the instructions in this manual and information
provided by a manufacturer, always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
If you have any questions or do not understand something, take responsibility for your safety and consult
with your dealer or Xtracycle.
NOTE:
This manual is not intended as a comprehensive use, service, repair or maintenance manual. Please
see your dealer for all service, repairs or maintenance. Your dealer may also be able to refer you to
classes, clinics or books on bicycle use, service, repair or maintenance.
GENERAL WARNING:
Like any sport, bicycling involves risk of injury and damage. By choosing to ride a bicycle, you assume
the responsibility for that risk, so you need to know — and to practice — the rules of safe and responsible
riding and of proper use and maintenance. Proper use and maintenance of your bicycle reduces risk of
injury.
This Manual contains many "Warnings" and "Cautions" concerning the consequences of failure to
maintain or inspect your bicycle and of failure to follow safe cycling practices.
• The combination of the
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.
• The combination of the
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or is an alert against
unsafe practices.
• The word CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a situation which, if not avoided,
could result in serious damage to the bicycle or the voiding of your warranty.
Many of the Warnings and Cautions say "you may lose control and fall". Because any fall can result in
serious injury or even death, we do not always repeat the warning of possible injury or death.
Because it is impossible to anticipate every situation or condition which can occur while riding, this
Manual makes no representation about the safe use of the bicycle under all conditions. There are risks
associated with the use of any bicycle which cannot be predicted or avoided, and which are the sole
responsibility of the rider.
A special note for parents:
As a parent or guardian, you are responsible for the activities and safety of your minor child, and that
includes making sure that your Xtracycle is in good repair and safe operating condition; that you and your
child have learned and understand the safe operation of the bicycle; and also the common sense rules of
safe and responsible bicycling.
