General Warnings
To prevent vision impairment, never look directly at the light.
Do not submerge in water. The Valo Direct is designed for outdoor use, and can
be used in heavy rain and snow but it is not waterproof.
Before riding, always ensure Light is clean and functioning correctly so that you
are visible to others on the road.
Do not connect Rear Light to the output terminals. Leave the plug on at all times.
Installation
1. Remove Grip, Brake Lever, and Gear Shifter from Handlebar.
2. Loosen Stem and slide Handlebar halfway out. Remove existing light, if fitted.
* Not included

3. Position Valo Direct within Handlebar Stem and slide Handlebar through Clamp
Hole.
If Handlebar doesn’t fit, loosen the four Clamp Bolts evenly until there is sufficient
clearance.
4. Tighten Handlebar Stem and install Grip, Brake Lever, and Gear Shifter. Tighten to
manufacturers’ specifications.
5. Tighten the four Clamp Bolts evenly until Valo Direct remains in place.
Do not over-tighten screws, otherwise plastic casing may break.
7. Switch on the Valo Direct and adjust to desired angle.
Never angle beam in a way that blinds oncoming traffic; ideally, the center portion
of the beam you see projected on the ground will be 10 meters (33 ft) in front of the
bicycle.
If Valo Direct cannot rotate, loosen all Clamp Bolts on Handlebar Stem by a 1/4 turn.
Continue loosening until Light is loose enough to rotate.
Maintenance & Daily Use
The electronics on the Valo Direct are maintenance-free; its lamp parts do not need
servicing or replacing.
To clean, wipe lens and cover with damp cloth using mild detergent. Do not use
solvents or alcohol.
Familiarize yourself with the capacity of your power system. Before each ride, ensure
you have enough power to operate Light for the entire trip.
USB Power Bank Selection & Use
When selecting a USB Power Bank, consider how long you’ll ride with it, and how
often you’d like to recharge. See rough estimations below.
Power Bank Capacity (mAh) .............................Approximate Run Time
5,000.....................................................................6 hours
10,000 ..................................................................12 hours
20,000 ..................................................................24 hours
Estimates are for reference only. Actual run time will vary based on
Power Bank voltage and efficiency, and other factors.
