1. അൺപാക്ക് ചെയ്യലും പരിശോധനയും
Carefully remove the bicycle and all components from the packaging. Inspect for any visible damage during shipping. Retain all packaging materials until assembly is complete and you are satisfied with the product.

3. Attaching the Handlebars
Insert the handlebar stem into the fork's steerer tube. Ensure the handlebars are centered and aligned with the front wheel. Tighten the stem bolt securely. Adjust the angle of the swept-back handlebars for a comfortable riding position.

4. Installing the Seat Post and Saddle
Insert the seat post into the frame's seat tube. Adjust the saddle height so that your leg has a slight bend at the knee when the pedal is at its lowest point. Secure the quick-release or bolt on the seat post clamp.
5. പെഡലുകൾ അറ്റാച്ചുചെയ്യുന്നു
Pedals are marked 'L' for left and 'R' for right. The right pedal tightens clockwise, and the left pedal tightens counter-clockwise. Apply a small amount of grease to the pedal threads before installation. Tighten firmly with a wrench.
6. ബ്രേക്ക് അഡ്ജസ്റ്റ്മെന്റ്
Ensure both front and rear caliper brakes are properly aligned and the pads make full contact with the rim. The brake levers should engage smoothly and provide firm stopping power without touching the handlebars.
7. ടയർ പണപ്പെരുപ്പം
Inflate the 700x32C commuter tires to the recommended pressure indicated on the tire sidewall. Proper inflation is crucial for safety and performance.
പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ
1. Shifting Gears (Shimano 7-Speed)
Your Kinney Mixte is equipped with a Shimano 7-speed drivetrain and Revoshift Twist-Grip shifters. To change gears, twist the shifter on the right handlebar forward or backward. Twist forward for higher gears (faster speed, harder pedaling) and backward for lower gears (easier pedaling, good for inclines).

2. ബ്രേക്കിംഗ്
The bike uses caliper brakes. The right lever controls the rear brake, and the left lever controls the front brake. Apply both brakes simultaneously for effective stopping. Avoid sudden, hard application of the front brake, especially at high speeds, to prevent loss of control.
3. Using the Rear Rack
The integrated rear rack is designed to carry light cargo. Ensure any items are securely fastened and do not interfere with the rear wheel or your pedaling. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity specified for the rack.

- ചെയിൻ ലൂബ്രിക്കേഷൻ: Lubricate the chain regularly, especially after riding in wet conditions, to ensure smooth shifting and prevent rust.
- ബ്രേക്ക് പരിശോധന: Check brake pads for wear and replace them when necessary. Ensure brake cables are not frayed and are properly tensioned.
