riese und müller GmbH Frog Manual

PAGE 5, Before every journey you must check the following points:

· Are the quick-releases and nuts on front and rear wheels, on the height-adjustment on the stem and on the seatpost clamp

all correctly fastened? Read more on pages 17, 28-31 and 11-13 of this manual.

· Is the tension lever on the stem hinge closed correctly? More information on page 18. Are both hinge bolts for the stem

hinge present, and secured with spring-clips? Is the upper part of the handlebar stem locked by its pin (see arrow)?

Danger: Never grease the adjustable stem at the heigt adjustment area. Grease could reduce the fixation of the stem and could

lead to accidents.

· Are the rear swing-arm catch and the front swing-arm catch both correctly engaged? More about this on pages 19-20.

Danger: If quick-releases and securing nuts are not correctly fastened, parts of the bike could come loose. This could result in a

dangerous fall!

· Are the tyres in good condition, do they run round and are they at the correct pressure? More on this topic on pages 26-27.

· Perform a stationary brake test by pulling the levers hard towards the handlebar. The brake blocks should press with their

full area against the rims, without touching the tyre. You should not be able to pull the lever right up to the handlebar!

Further tips on braking on pages 21-23.

· Does the light illuminate properly? More on lighting on pages 34-35.

Danger: Do not ride the bike if your bike fails any of these checks! In case of doubt, always consult your dealer. A defective bike

can lead to serious accidents!

· As you ride, always listen out for unusual rattling noises or unusual handling – these could indicate a problem. If this occurs,

check bearings, pivots, all fastenings and parts of the folding mechanism.

PAGE 6, How to fold the Frog

With a little practice you can easily fold the Frog in a short time. Please note the following rules:

· Fold the kickstand.

· Ensure the right-hand pedal points upwards (the crank should be in line with the seatpost).

· Now undo the upper seatpost quick-release, press the pin and push the saddle down as far as it will go (1). Close the quick-

release again.

· Lift the bike a little by the saddle and open the rear swing-arm catch with a light pull outwards (2).

· Now fold the rear swing-arm forwards and hold it with your right hand at the rear wheel (3). Open the quick release of the

segment clamp and pull down the complete seatpost (4).

· Close the quick release ofthe segment clamp again.

· Hold the Frog with one hand at the main tube.

· Press the front swing-arm catch with the other hand, so that it releases the spring from the fork (5). Fold the front swing-arm

right under until the front wheel rests to the right side of the main frame tube (6).

· To minimize the folding dimensions it may be useful to rotate the front wheel until the shifter cable roll is situated between

the spokes.

· Now, open the stem hinge lever (7) and fold the handlebars down (8).

· To minimize the folding dimensions you additionally can fold the pedals and push down the handlebar.

· Folding pedals: push the pedal towards the crank and fold it (9).

· Push down the handlebar: open the height-adjustment quick-release, press the pin (see page 5) and push down the stem.

PAGE 8, How to unfold the Frog

Make your Frog ready to ride by following this procedure:

· Fold the stem and handlebars up and close the hinge lever. Take care for correct position of foling hinge cone (see picture 7

at page 7).

· Unfold the front wheel and make sure that the front spring audibly engages in the front swing-arm catch (see picture 5 at

page 6).

· Now open the segment clamp quick-release. Pull out the seatpost until the correct height (see scale at seatpost). Hold the

rear swingarm at the same time to prevent that it unfolds unintended (see picture 3 at page 6).
