3 Basic settings
The following section provides you with information about how to check your flatbed prior to begin your
Carqon journey, how to adjust the seating position and how you can make other basic adjustments.
3.1 Before making your first journey
Carqon and your Carqon dealer fully assembled and set up your flatbed. Your flatbed is therefore ready to
ride. Learn the important functions of the flatbed prior to your first journey.
If you are unaccustomed to the assignment of the brake lever of the front wheel or rear wheel brake,
●
have the assignment of the brake lever amended by a Carqon dealer.
Acquaint yourself with the braking characteristics of the brakes, away from traffic and at low speed.
●
Your Carqon bike has hydraulic disk brakes. Operate both brake levers several times so that the brake
●
pads are centered in the brake caliper.
Check whether you can also assume a comfortable seating position for longer journeys and that you
●
can safely operate all of the components on the handlebar.
3.2 To be checked before every journey
Check the flatbed for damage and excessive wear prior to every journey.
●
Do not use the flatbed if you notice damage or excessive wear.
●
Have damaged or worn components replaced by a Carqon dealer .
●
Check that it's easy to switch through the gears and that they do not make any noise.
●
The frame, fork and seat tube. Visual check: No cracks, deformities or changes in colour
●
(due to material fatigue or heavy rust) to the frame, fork or seat tube must occur.
Quick-clamping equipment. Check that all quick-clamping equipment is firmly closed and correctly
●
secured.
Check the pre-tensioning of all quick-clamping equipment.
●
The screw and socket connections. Visual check: The screw and socket connections must be
●
correctly closed.
Check whether the pedal drive is working and is correctly secured.
●
Check whether the headlights and rear lights are working.
●
Check whether the bell produces a clear sound.
●
Check that the handlebar and the handlebar stem are securely positioned.
●
Visual check: No cracks, deformities or colour change (due to material fatigue or heavy rust) must be
●
present on the handlebar or handlebar stem.
Check the tire pressure (see section "Tire pressure" on page 49). Check the tires for cracks and sharp parts.
●
The rims and spokes. Visual check: No cracks, deformities or excessive wear must be present. Check the
●
spokes to ensure they are evenly tensioned.
