B00AFX0JX0 Bicycle 12 Inches Blue Dolly Girls

This manual provides instructions for assembling and maintaining your new SJOEF bicycle. Before assembling the bicycle, it is important to follow these steps. Assembly is intended for adults only

• Remove the bicycle from the packaging and remove the packaging materials.

The bicycles are manufactured to comply with the European standards EN ISO-8098:2014 (maximum saddle height from 435mm to 635mm) or EN ISO4210:2014 (minimum saddle height of 635mm). Please note: the manufacturer is not responsible for improper use or incorrect assembly of the bicycle. Please verify with the local authorities which regulations apply to the use of children’s bicycles on public roads. Ensure compliance with these rules at all times. Always inspect the surface of the terrain where the bicycle will be ridden and make sure that a parent/guardian is always supervising the child during use. Improper use of the bicycle can result in hazardous situations.
Ensure that the child is always given clear instructions on the use and dangers associated with using the bicycle. In particular, the use of the brakes should be clearly explained.

Assembly

The bicycle can be assembled in a few simple steps. It is important to follow the order of the instructions in order to make the assembly as easy as possible.
Mounting the saddle

1. Attach the saddle post to the seat tube. Pay attention to the safety mark on the saddle post, which must not be exceeded. The maximum height is reached when the safety mark is visible. The minimum height is reached when the saddle bolt is completely loosened.
2. The saddle is at the correct height when your child can just touch the ground on both sides of the bike. Preferably, the heel also touches the ground.
3. Tighten the saddle bolt to the desired height.

Installing the handlebar and stem (if required)

1. Attach the cone to the stem by tightening the bolt (if necessary).
2. Insert the stem (including handbrake lever) into the frame.
3. Position the handlebar at the desired height and check whether it is perpen- dicular to the front wheel.
4. Tighten the handlebar clamp and/or bolt.
5. Mount the bell on the left side of the steer next to the grip.

Installing the pedals
PLEASE NOTE: there is an (L) on the left and an (R) on the right side of the pedal.
Incorrectly tightening the pedal will render the bike unusable and will void the warranty.

1. It is advisable to grease the ends of the pedals so that they can be replaced easily in the future.

2. An L or R can be read off from the axle of the pedal. Use this to check which pedal should be fitted on the left and which on the right. Are there no L or R on the pedals? Then the left pedal contains a marking in the form of a line.
   (left or right is viewed from the sitting position on the bicycle).

3. Insert the right pedal into the crank and turn the pedal clockwise by hand towards the front wheel. It should be easy to turn the pedal; if it is stiff, the thread may be damaged.

4. Then turn the left pedal by hand counter-clockwise into the crank, also in the direction of the front wheel.

5. Finally, tighten the pedals even further using an open-end spanner.

Fitting the side wheels (if available)

1. Loosen the rear axle bolts and remove the fender stay.
2. Fit the support wheel arm on the rear axle against the locking plate which is already fitted on the rear axle). Make sure the rear wheel does not slide in the frame.
3. Screw the outer axle nut tight when the desired height of the side wheels has been found. The side wheels should stay about 6 mm above the ground on both sides.
4. The use of training wheels entails risks, handle them with care.

Handlebar pad
Use these cushions by attaching them to the handlebars and stem with the Velcro strap.
The hand brake
The hand brake is already mounted on the bike. Check whether the brake blocks press firmly on the rim when braking. Adjust them if necessary and do this regularly:

1. If the margin in the brake handle is too large, tighten the brake cable nut at the handle to make it tighter.
2. Double check to see if the brake pads are pressing firmly against the rim when you squeeze the handbrake. If the pads do not fit properly on the rim or if they are crooked, you can unscrew the inner cable nut.
3. Next, straighten the brake pads with one hand. With the other hand, pull on the inner cable and tighten the inner cable nut again.
4. You can adjust the distance between the brake blocks and rim by turning the adjusting screw clockwise if further adjustment of the brakes is needed. Make sure that the brake cable is firmly connected to the brake cable nut when adjusting.
5. Lastly, tighten the lock nut securely.

Still having trouble? Ask an expert to help you. Brakes are an essential part of the bicycle.
Checking the back pedal brake
It is a useful exercise to check whether the rear wheel turns smoothly before using the bike. If the wheel turns stiff, this is usually due to the back- pedal brake being tightened too much. The back-pedal brake is located at the rear wheel axle on the left-hand side and can be corrected in the following way:

1. Unscrew the bolt from the joint.
2. Rotate the joint back in anticlockwise direction (one rotation should be suffi- cient).
3. Tighten the bolt of the joint.

Assemble basket and doll seat (if equipped)

1. Attach the basket to the front, using the 2 supplied bolts and nuts.
2. Attach the doll’s seat to the back, by sliding it onto the doll’s seat mounting arm. Secure the seat using the 2 screws supplied.

Assemble the reflectors (if equipped)

1. Attach the white reflector to the front on the bracket. Using the supplied bolts and nuts.
2. Attach the red reflector on the seatpost / rear carrier (if applicable). Using the supplied bolts and nuts.

Using the brakes
Most bicycles are equipped with a coaster brake at the rear and a hand brake at the front. The hand brake is mounted on the handlebar and can be operated by squeezing the brake lever. Regularly check if the hand brake is properly adjust-ed and functioning well. Be careful when using only the front brake. There is a possibility that only the front wheel will lock up, which can lead to instability of the bike and the possibility of falling. The coaster brake can be used by pedaling in the opposite direction when using it. This way of braking is often less controlled and can lead to sudden stops or skids. Always give instructions on how to use the brakes to the child before using the bike.
Lubricant
Lubricating certain parts of the bike is extremely important for the quality of the product. The bearings of the hubs, headset and bottom bracket are greased at the factory. We also recommend that you grease these parts on a regular basis. To do this, the components should be disassembled..
Tip: we recommend having this done by a professional bike workshop. The chain or hub gear and brake cable lines can then also be lubricated to extend the pleasure of use. We recommend servicing the bike 2-3 times a year.

Warranty
Any damage caused by incorrect or rough use, failure to carry out regular maintenance or normal wear and tear is excluded from the guarantee.
The following warranty applies to the bicycle:

• You have a one-year warranty on all fixed parts (excluding loose parts such as tyres).
• There is a one-year warranty on paintwork rusting from the inside.
• There is a one-year warranty on the front fork and frame.

Recommendations
In addition to the tips, warnings and recommendations throughout the manual, a number of additional recommendations can be found here:

• Use a helmet when riding a bicycle
• Do not let a child cycle without closed shoes and suitable clothing.
• Check the brakes regularly. If any problems with the adjustment occur, this may be dangerous, please visit a bicycle mechanic.
• Check the tyre pressure regularly.
• Do not make any changes to the bicycle. This can lead to defects and person- al injury.
• Regularly check the bike for loose parts, especially screws and bolts. The vibrations from cycling can cause parts to loosen in the long term.
• Check the pedals regularly. Over time, these parts could loosen as well.
• Regularly lubricate the chain and check the chain tension, preferably by a bicycle mechanic.
• Always visit a bicycle mechanic if you are not confident in performing repairs yourself.
• Regularly inspect the rims, frame, front fork, and mounting parts of the bicycle for irregularities. These parts will wear out with use. Visit a bicycle mechanic if in doubt.

Warnings

• Always check if the bicycle is fully and properly adjusted and can be used safely before use.
• Always check if the environment where the bicycle is used is safe and legal (e.g. when used on public roads).
• Unsafe situations may arise from incorrect use.
• The rear carrier, front carrier, child seat, basket, etc. cannot be used for sitting, standing, leaning, etc.
• Always instruct the child on the safe use of the bicycle. Always keep an eye on the child during use of the bicycle.
• Make sure that training wheels are always properly mounted and be aware that there may be risks associated with their use.
• The bicycle consists of mechanical components. Mechanical components can wear out or be affected by stress. If a component of the bicycle is overloaded or too worn out, it may suddenly break or come loose. This can lead to dangerous situations, acci-dents, and injuries to the user. Always check all components to ensure they are still in good condition and replace them if necessary. Consult a bicycle mechanic if in doubt.
• Only use authentic parts for the replacement of parts, especially for the replacement of safety parts.
• As with all mechanical components, the bicycle is subjected to wear and high stresses. Different materials and components might react to wear or stress fatigue in different ways. If the design life of a component has been exceeded, it may suddenly fail, possibly causing injuries to the rider. Any form of crack, scratches, or change of colouring in highly stressed areas indicate that the life of the component has been reached and it should be replaced.
• For composite components, impact damage may be invisible to the user, the manufacturer shall explain the consequences of impact damage and that in the event of an impact, composite components should either be returned to the manufacturer for inspection or destroyed and replaced.
• Make sure that training wheels are always properly mounted and be aware that there may be risks associated with their use.
• The bicycle consists of mechanical components. Mechanical components can wear out or be affected by stress.
