Assembly
The assembly instructions can be found
on the last pages of this manual.
The following tools are required for
assembly:
Allen key 5 mm (R 1-R 03L)
Allen key 6 mm (R 07L/ R 2002L)
Small parts which are required during
assembly (e.g. screws and washers) must be
kept out of the reach of small children. There is
a danger of suffocation as a result of
swallowing the parts. Also keep all packaging
material out of reach of children.
The vehicle must be assembled with great
caution and by an adult to avoid any
potential subsequent accidents or injuries.
Please take a sufficient amount of time to
assemble the bike. Several assembly steps
require manual skill and practice in handling
tools (e.g. spanner). Please contact your
dealer or a workshop if you have any questions.
In some cases, it is necessary to tighten
screws with a prescribed torque. This torque
value is stated in Newtons (e.g. 2 Nm). If the
torque with which a screw is tightened is too
low, the connection may still be too loose and
therefore unsafe. If the torque is too high,
screws and other parts may be damaged
or destroyed.
User Manual
Adjusting the V brakes:
The left brake lever operates the brake on the
front wheel (R 2002L), the right brake lever
operates the brake on the rear wheel (R 07L).
Figure A: Centre the brake arms (1) by
turning the adjusting screw. The gap between
the brake pad <-> rim should be identical on
both right and left and the contact between
brake pad/rim should be applied
simultaneously on both sides when you brake.
You will need a cross-headed screwdriver.
By turning the screw in, you move the
appropriate brake arm away from the rim,
turning the screw out moves the screw
towards the rim.
It is important that the brake levers are
actuated several times so that the tension
of the brake arms is evenly distributed to
both sides and the settings take effect.
Figure B: The handle distance (distance of
brake lever to handlebar) can be adjusted
individually using an Allen key on the brake
handle. Please remember that braking must
taken effect before the brake lever reaches
the handlebar!
Figure C: The tension can be set on the
brake handle using the knurled screw.
The brake is set correctly if the brake pads
are all approximately 1.5 mm from the rims.
