users manual carefully.

Details
Have your new PACTO fully checked by an authorised bike specialist before you start riding.
- A compact folding bike has several latches and hinges which need to be adjusted properly and need cleaning and lubrication regularly.
- The maximum weight your PACTO may carry is 110kg. This is the total weight of the rider plus luggage.
- Do not adjust your seat post any higher than the maximum adjustment mark and make sure the seatpost clamp has been tightened properly.
- Do not adjust your stem any higher than the maximum adjustment mark and make sure the handlepost clamp has been tightened properly.
- Check the air pressure of the tires regularly. This avoids premature wear of the tyre and you will notice it cycles a lot better.
- Keep the chain and other moving parts of your folding bike clean and lubricate these parts regularly.
- Keep your bike proper and clean it regularly with water. In case of using a high pressure cleaner make sure you keep a minimum distance of 30cm from parts with bearings to avoid water penetrating the hub or bottom bracket. Lubricate moving parts immediately after cleaning the bike and use an anti-rust spray for protection of the steel parts.
