Brake C.ble

o@e
o Adiustment of front wheels
and truck system.
After loosening the action nut,
adjust with action bolt. (Do
not forget to retighten the
action nut thus bringing the
spring washer into place against
the base plate.)

Saddle Positioning
Adjustment
Loosen the saddle clamp at the base of
the saddle post with a quick jerking
motion counterclockwise, and adjust th€
height and general position of the saddle
to suit you. Then carefully tighten the
saddle clamp again by turning it clock-
wise and thus securing the saddle into
position. (See photo 1)
Chain Tension
Check the tension on your chain to see
that it has 1-2cm play at its center. This
can be done by gently pulling on the
chain with your finger.
lhe chain can be adjusted by loosening
the rear whee, fixing nut (see photo-
graph) and then adjusting the tension.
Again, be sure to replace the nut firmly
into place. (See photo 2)
Tire Pressure
To check tire pressure) sit on the skate
bike. The back wheel should be depressed
no more than 5-10cm. lf the air seems
low, pump up the tire before using.
Brakes
The brake lever at the base of the saddle
connects to a brake cable which in turn
controls the rubber braking agents at
the right and left of the rear wheel.
Check to see rhat all these parts are in
place and functioning smoothly before
riding your SKATE-Bl KE.

Caliper Brakes
The hand controlled brake lever at the
base ol the sadure should have marimum
effectiveness when pulled upward about
half-way. lf the rubber padding at the
right and left of the rear tire does not
tightly grip the wheel so as to create
complete braking action, adiust the
tension of the brake cable by retightening
the nut at side of the rear brake. (See
photo 4)
Mount Pedals
Th€letter "L" on the pedal axle indicates
the pedal for the left foot. Tighten it
by turning it counterclockwise. "R"
indicates the right pebal which can be
tightened by turning it in a clockwise
direction. (See photo 5)
Crank And Pedals
lf you hear a rattling sound when first
starting to pedal, it could well be that
the pedals are not tightly adiusted to the
crank. lt is therefore best that you check
the pedals befor€commencing to ride.
Bear Hub
The rear wheel should be adjusted such
that no wobbling motion is possible.
lf it seems loose, retighten it by adjusting
the rear hub outer screw, such that it
is securely affixed to the inner wheel
hub section.
Front Wheel Section
Be sure to keep the bearings dry and free
from grease and dirt. Regularly check for
loose parts or abnormal sounds and
ures
replace new bearings as needed. Examine
the two PU cushions on either side of
the truck for wear and abrasion. Finally,
double-check to see that the action bolt
is properly ad;usted for a smooth ride
with appropriate resiliency for your
riding needs and skills. Let us again
emphasize that it is crucial that all
parts of the front wheel and truck section
be in prime condition.
Adiust the tension of brake cable

* Attention:
The lVinson SKATE-BIKE is designed for recreational purposes and
should not be used for every-day transportation. lt should be ridden in
open, flat areas exclusively.
Check List:
.1. Carefully check all parts of your SKATE-BIKE before riding. Be sure that the nuts
are fulty tightened, the chain has appropriate tension, etc.
2. Be sure the seat is adjusted to an appropriate height and that the hand brake is
functioning prLrperly.
3. The front wheel area (truck) can be adjusted to accommodate any desired riding
pattern. Like a skateboard, more resiliency can be afforded by loosening the action
bolt (i.e. for slalomming etc.) Be sure it is not too loose, however, or the frame will
separate from the truck (See instructions P.3).
4. For your protection and safety, wear thick socks and sports shoes,
5. We also recommend you wear a helmet, gloves and safety pads (i.e. for elbows and
knees) to ensure complete safety.
6. To get your balance upon mounting the Minson SKATE-B|KE, lean slightly
forward and start the pedals in motion immediately.
7. Remember SAFETY FIRST! Ride only in flat, open areas and be constantly aware
of on-coming vehicles. Use your common sense and ride with reason. Do not try
any unnecessarily wild riding techniques that might endanger your safety.
8. lf the air in your back tire seems low, use a regular bicycle pump and fill it
immediately, before riding.
