USER MANUAL Cyke 18F Puky

Congratulations on the purchase of this PUKY play bicycle. You have acquired a quality product, which is certain to bring great joy. This User Manual contains information regarding the assembly, safe operation and maintenance of this new bicycle. Should you have any questions or problems, please contact your dealer or contact us via our website: www.puky.de.

2. Parental responsibility

Risks during play are, for the most part, excluded when used in accordance with the intended purpose. However, please take into consideration that unforeseen situations and hazards may occur as a result of the natural need for movement and the temperament of young children and adolescents for which the manufacturer cannot be held liable. For this reason, instruct children and adolescents in the correct bicycle conduct whilst supervising them. At the same time, also draw their attention to potential dangers.

The play bicycle is not suitable for sporting activities (e.g. jumps). The bicycle may only be used on paved paths and roads without obstacles. The bicycle is not suitable for jumps, tricks or cross-country use. When children are using the bicycle, it may not be ridden in the vicinity of stairs, slopes, steep terrain, swimming pools or other bodies of water. Stairs in the vicinity must be secured in such a way to prevent children from riding up or down them on their bicycle. The play bicycle may only be used in suitable areas and away from public roads. The bicycle does not comply with the requirements of German Road Trac Regulations (StVZO) and may not be used on public roads. The relevant applicable national legal requirements are to be observed. The permissible total weight for this bike (bike + rider + baggage) is 60 kg. The load that may be placed on the luggage rack will depend on the version of the rack (see the embossing on the rack). For road safety reasons, we do not recommend using the rack of a play vehicle for carrying loads. Only the serial installed racks may be used. It is necessary to wear suitable clothing and closed shoes. PUKY recommends wearing a safety helmet (see PUKY Accessories). The bicycle is not suitable for mounting a child seat. Pay attention to potential trap hazards when using and maintaining. Play bicycle Mount supporting wheels in a secure and form-fitting manner to the rear when required as a learning aid (to maintain balance). The use of support wheels is only permitted during the course of a brief learning period, since with increased practice the support wheels may apply uncontrolled forces to the frame. Please pay attention to the reduced eect of the brakes on the front wheel when it is wet. Sudden, forceful braking with the rim brake should be avoided since the behaviour of the vehicle may suddenly change as a result which may end in a fall. On long slopes, long periods of braking with the back pedal brake are to be avoided (excess heat to the back pedal brake nave). The valve caps must be firmly tightened and kept out of reach of children (risk of choking). Subsequent additions or modifications to the bicycle (especially the braking systems) will change the behaviour of the vehicle and may pose a risk.

4. Unpacking and scope of delivery

Do not use any sharp objects when opening the packaging and removing protective material. If you were to do so, you may damage the paint or parts of the bike. Keep all packaging material out of reach of children.

• Remove all parts from the packaging.

• Remove the protective material.

• Examine the package for completeness and proper condition. If anything is missing, please contact your dealer before you continue to assemble the bike.

5. Assembly and first use

Prepare for use by adjusting to the height of the child. The saddle is to be set so that at least the toes, preferably the ball of the foot, reach the ground in order to ensure balance can be achieved when at a standstill. In doing so, the marking showing the minimum insertion depth on the saddle post into the frame tube must be observed. For more information, see below. The handlebar, hand brake lever and bell must be easy for the child to reach from the set saddle position. In doing so, the marking showing the minimum insertion depth of the handlebar shaft must be observed. After adjusting the handlebar, tighten the clamping screws firmly. Use the following safety checklist to check the bicycle before using. When mounting the pedals, observe the right and left threads (labelled on the pedal axis with an R or L in the vicinity of the thread). The images for the assembly instructions can be found on the last pages of this manual. After assembly, please conduct a safety check in accordance with the safety check- list! During assembly, please note that some parts, such as pedal thread and clamping cone are lubricated. Assembly must be carried out with great caution and by an adult, to avoid any po- tential subsequent accidents or injuries. Please take your time when assembling the bike. In some cases, it is necessary to tighten screws with a prescribed torque. The torque value is stated in Newton metres (e.g. 2 Nm). If the torque with which a screw is tightened is too low, the connection may still be too loose and therefore unsafe. If the torque is too high, screws and other parts may be damaged or destroyed. Please contact your dealer or a workshop if you have any questions. First remove the plastic protective caps from the cap nuts of the front and rear axle as well as from the cantilever brakes at the front. Also remove the plastic foil which has been used to protect the cranks. Remove the handlebar padding from the handlebar and unscrew (with just a few rotations) the underlying screw at the stem with the aid of a 6 mm Allen key (YOUKE models) or a 13 mm spanner (STEEL/ STEEL-CLASSIC models). Now you can remove the plastic cover that protects the clamping cone at the lower end of the stem shaft.

6. Maintenance and care

If the handbrake lever can be pulled more than half-way to the handlebar before the braking eect takes place, the brake must be adjusted. The braking surfaces must be clean, grease-free and the brake pads must be parallel to one another. Worn pads must be replaced immediately! When replacing, make sure you use original pads or ensure that they match the material of the rim at least (e.g. see the label: "Alloy / Alu" for aluminium rims). Caution in the event of rim wear Regularly check the state of the rims and pay special attention to the wear groove which surrounds the rim. Consult your specialist workshop in good time (when the groove is almost worn away). Breakage and accident risks! Pay special attention to ensure that the handlebar and saddle do not rotate! Check the chain tension and adjust as necessary (if required, by loosening the rear wheel, aligning and tightening again). 43836_kinderfahrrad_148x210.indd 1243836_kinderfahrrad_148x210.indd 12 09.06.2020 07:50:2609.06.2020 07:50:2613

Pay attention to the correct air pressure (the prescribed pressure is indicated on the sides of the tyres). Do not repair damaged or deformed parts. Damaged or deformed parts must be replaced. Original replacement parts can be obtained from your PUKY dealer. Spare parts: Tyres (including tubes), rims, brake cable, brake pads, chain, chain rings, handle covers. All maintenance work requires specialist knowledge and you should consult your dealer for advice. Interested children may 'supervise' but should not do the work themselves. In case of a tire change, please visit us on our homepage at www.puky.de. There you will find the appropriate video instructions for a tyre change (YOUKE/ STEEL/ STEEL CLASSIC models with chain guard and LS-PRO 16 and LS-PRO18 models with Chainlooper chain guard). Cleanliness and corrosion protection All painted and metallic surfaces can be cleaned and protected using ordinary car care products. Only use environmentally friendly products and never use any ag- gressive detergents. Regularly oil the chain (chain or universal oil) and clean when necessary. The flanks of the rims (braking surfaces) must be grease-free! The vehicle is to be protected from winter salt and long periods of storage in damp spaces (e.g. garage) are to be avoided. If you do store the bicycle in a damp environ- ment, protect the surfaces of unpainted metal parts (screws, nuts etc.) with a suitable surface seal (e.g. spray wax). Hub and ball bearing should be checked from time to time by a specialist, adjusted and lubricated as required. The vehicle is to be protected from winter salt and long periods of storage in damp spaces (e.g. garage) are to be avoided. Do not use a pressure washer/power washer to clean the vehicle.

proves to be dicult, unscrew the handlebar a bit further. Adjust the handlebar to the desired height, align at right angles to the front wheel and lock it.

1. Take the loose end of the brake cable and insert

18'' The handlebar has been set at the factory to the highest position, thus, all spacers are located under the stem. If required, remove the stem and adjust the spacers to lower the handlebar height. For adjusting the handlebar height for models with ahead stem you will need the following tools. (The tools are not part of the scope of delivery.)

18'' To assemble the ahead stem you will need the following tools. (The tools are not part of the scope of delivery.)

• 5 mm and 4 mm Allen key (CYKE und LS-PRO models) tube. Now set the handlebar height according to requirement. Possible positions are:

• All spacers located under the stem (highest handle- bar position, set at the factory)

• Spacers over the stem and under Correct setting: The handlebars must be easy to turn without play in the control bearing. (medium handlebar position)

• All spacers above the stem (lowest handlebar position) No spacers may be removed!

2. Now tighten up the steerer tube clamping screws

of the stem with the correct torque. The torque for the clamping of the stem on the steerer tube shaft: 5-6 Nm. Make sure that the stem is firmly mounted to the steerer tube and cannot rotate.

BRAKE) The bicycle has two calliper brakes. The left brake lever operates the brake on the front wheel, the right brake lever operates the brake on the rear wheel. Depending on the model, the bicycle may also have a back pedal brake for the rear wheel. To set the brake you will need the following tools. (The tools are not part of the scope of delivery.)

• Crosstip screwdriver

18'' To set the brake lever and tension you will need the follow- ing tools. (The tools are not part of the scope of delivery.)

• Crosstip screwdriver You will need a cross-headed screwdriver. By turning the screw in, you move the appropriate brake arm away from the rim, turning the screw out moves the screw towards the rim.

2. The tension can be set on the brake handle using

the knurled screw. The brake is set correctly if the brake pads are all approximately 1.5 mm from the rims. It is important that the brake levers are actuated several times so that the tension of the brake arms is evenly distributed to both sides and the settings take eect.

1. Centre the brake arms by turning the adjusting

screw. The gap between the brake pad <-> rim should be identical on both right and left and the contact between brake pad/rim should be applied simultane- ously on both sides when you brake.

1. The handle distance (distance of brake lever to

handlebar) can be adjusted individually using an cross-headed screwdriver on the brake handle. Please remember that braking must taken eect before the brake lever reaches the handlebar!

For replacing the brake pads you will need the following tools. (The tools are not part of the scope of delivery.)

• 5 mm Allen key ASSEMBLY PEDALS Please note that one pedal is equipped with a right-handed thread (for the right-handed driving direction) and the other pedal with a left-handed thread (for the left-handed direction). To assemble the pedals you will need the following tools. (The tools are not part of the scope of delivery.)

• 15 mm spanner below the top edge of the rim . If these settings are not correct, loosen the fastening nut of the brake pad with a 5 mm Allen key and align as described above. To do so, pull the brake lever and re-tighten the fastening nut (5-8 Nm).
