Service and users manual
Introduction
Congratulations with your new PACTO folding bike. To make sure that you fully
enjoy your new folding bike we strongly recommend reading this service and
users manual carefully.
Pay attention…
• 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.
Folding instructions
Note: Never ride your folding bike when it is not completely unfolded and when
the frame and handlepost latch have not been double locked!
How to fold:
Step 1. Take position at the left side of the bicycle and fold the
kickstand upwards.
Step 2. Open the Quick Release on top of the stem and turn the handlebar
until the brake levers are in parallel position with the stem.
Step 3. Open de handlepost latch, fold it and make sure the stem is
adjusted so the location of the handlebar ends up just a little below the
front hub of the bicycle.
Step 4. Lower the seatpost and close the seatpost clamp.
Step 5. Fold the pedals and make sure the left crank points ‘8 o’clock’.
Step 6. Open the frame latch and fold the frame until the magnet between
frame and fork secure the bike.
How to unfold:
Step 1. Unfold the frame and close the frame latch lever so the double
lock can be closed.
Step 2. Unfold the pedals.
Step 3. Open the seatpost clamp and pull the seatpost up until the right
position. Close the seatpost clamp.
Step 4. Put the stem in upwards position, close the handlepost latch
lever so the double lock can be closed.
Step 5. Adjust the stem up to the preferred position.
Step 6. Open the Quick Release on top of the stem and turn the handlebar
until the brake levers are in the right position.
A quick overview to keep it in mind:
- Fold – handlebar / saddle / pedals / frame
- Unfold – frame / pedals / saddle / handlebar
Maintenance
It is highly recommended to bring your bike to an authorised dealer for
adjustments, maintenance and reparations. Regularly maintenance is very
important. The frequency depends of course on the use but a minimum of once a
year is highly recommended.
