INSTRUCTIONS ON ASSEMBLY (Fig. 1 – 8)
1.
The fork, handlebar stem and rear wheel are pre-assembled on delivery.
2.
Unscrew the 4 Allen screws at the front of the handlebar stem completely as shown
in figure 1 and remove the front element of the handlebar clamp as shown in figure 2.
3.
Position the handlebars centrally in the recess of the handlebar stem and then screw
the front element back on. The brake lever is located to the right of the handlebar
stem as shown in figure 3. We recommend tightening the 4 Allen screws only slightly
at first and checking the correct position of the handlebars again and adjusting them
if necessary before tightening the screws.
4.
Now mount the front wheel. First loosen the screws with the washers from the axle
and insert the axle ends into the holes at the lower end of the fork as shown in figure 4.
5.
Now screw the previously loosened screws and washers from the outside into the
internal thread of the axles as shown in figure 5. Mount the screws evenly to reduce
the tension in the fork and ensure the front wheel is centered. Figure 6 shows a
correctly mounted front wheel.
6.
Insert the saddle into the seat tube and tighten the bolt on the seat clamp to the
desired saddle height as shown in figure 7. Make sure you do not exceed the ma-
ximum seat height by not pulling the seat post out further than the „MAX" mark, as
exceeding the maximum seat height can cause serious injury. Also make sure that the
saddle is correctly aligned parallel to the frame as shown in figure 8.
7.
Then attach the handlebar impact protection to the handlebar stem using the hook-
and-loop fasteners.
8.
Finally, inflate the tyres.The maximum air pressure should not exceed 2.4 bar. When
inflating, please make sure that the tube lies evenly in the rim and is not twisted. The
casing must also sit evenly on the rim and must not push the tube in at any point.
All images are examples of the design.
HOW TO SET UP THE BRAKES (Fig. 9 - 10)
Your balance bike has a belt brake at the rear end. It is operated with the brake handle
[A] on the handlebar (fig. 9 & 10). The brake system is pre-mounted and pre-adjusted.
However, before every use, ensure that the brake system functions without any problem.
It the brake is not effective enough, it can be easily adjusted. There are many options,
starting from the brake handle to the brake itself. The distance of the brake handle from
the grip can be adjusted with the adjusting screw [B]. Tighten it to decrease and loosen to
increase the gap. The screw is basically to give your child the correct grip, but a change
will also affect the brake slightly. Loosening of the screw will give the handle more room.
Tightening of the screw reduces the room and therefore the braking ability of the belt
brake. The lock nut [D] at the belt brake changes the brake cable run (fig. 10). If you turn
it towards the cable, the cable run shortens and the braking is quicker. Fasten the lock
nut [D] with a counter nut [C]. You can also use the set screws [F]. They directly affect
the belt brake. The brake section presses itself closer to the axle if you fasten it in and
loosens correspondingly if you loosen the screw. If all these options fail, you can shorten
the wire drawing. Loosen the nut [E], pull the brake cable taut and refasten it. Take help
from a mechanic if these options fail, because a faulty brake can lead to injury or damage!
Before the balance bike is used for the first time, activate the brake lever several times and
check whether all of the screws have been tightened and the brakes are working perfectly.
