2.2 User instructions
Only use your BERG product as instructed below. Any
unauthorized use could result in serious injuries to the
user and/or the product.
2.2.1 Before use
• Adjust the seat to the correct position, according to
the size of the user.
• Make sure that the saddle pin is inserted deep
enough. See marking saddle pin. Not doing this can
lead to instability or coming off from the saddle.
• The maneuverability of the BERG balance bike has
two settings. This results in a different steering
angle. See option A and B on page 13 for this.
(Option A gives more stability, option B gives more
maneuverability.)
• Make sure the steering and tires are functioning
correctly and the bolts and nuts are fixed.
• Protective covers, which have been removed for
maintenance purposes, should always be put back in
the original state before use.
• If your BERG balance bike has air tires, check if the
tire pressure meet the safety standard as shown on
15
the tire. The functioning of the steering depends on
this.
• The adult is responsible for instructing the child how
to operate this product and how to use the brake.
• Ensure the brake pads are not worn and contact the
rim uniformly when the brake lever is pulled.
• Adjust the brake lever to fit the child's hand size using
a Phillips screwdriver to adjust the screw as shown in
image A1 and A2 on page 14.
• To adjust the brake pad distance to the rim, turn the
bolt on the brake lever as shown in images B1 and
B2 on page 14 by hand to change the tension on the
outer braking cable. After you are done changing the
tension on the outer braking cable, turn the nut that
is shown in image B3 on page 14 clockwise in order
to fix the mounting position of the bolt.

gear such as a helmet.
