5. GENERAL NOTES ABOUT ASSEMBLY

This user manual is not intended as a comprehensive 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 VADO SL 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 VADO SL, including, but not limited to the motor, battery
and cable guides, are proprietary to the VADO SL. 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. VADO SL specific components should only be used on the VADO SL 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.
SEATPOST INSTALLATION - SEAT WEDGE

„
the wedge assembly into the wedge cavity.

TECH TIP: The fit between the seatpost and the seat tube must allow the seatpost to slide into
the seat tube smoothly and without twisting, but not so loosely that there's excessive side-to-side
play/wiggle. Any fit and/or torque issues should be inspected by your Authorized Specialized
Retailer. If the seatpost does not fit properly or moves in the frame even though it is torqued to
spec, you should have it inspected by your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
SEATPOST MINIMUM INSERTION:
To prevent damage to the frame and/or seatpost, it is important to have a minimum amount of seatpost insertion in
the seat tube. This minimum insertion must meet the following requirements:
The seatpost must be inserted into the frame deep enough so the minimum insertion/maximum extension (min/
max) mark on the seatpost is not visible (Fig. 5.2 A).
