Introduction
To enhance their capacity for commuting, trekking bicycles are
equipped with a selection of accessories which may include a generator
light set for improved visibility, fenders to keep the bike and rider drier,
a rack to carry belongings, or a bell to sound warnings or greetings. All
accessories must be properly maintained for best service.

Inspection
Once a month check to ensure that the following nuts and bolts are
tight. Tighten the fender adjusting nuts to 30-40 lb•in (3.5-4.5 Nm).
Tighten fender and rack attachment bolts to 50-60 lb•in (5.7-6.8 Nm).
If your bike is equipped with other accessories they should also be
inspected monthly.

Lights
The lights on your Trekking bike have been designed and installed on your bike for extra
safety in conditions with poor visibility resulting from either fog or dark. These lights are
powered by a generator so no batteries are required. However, for your lights to provide
light the generator must be properly installed, adjusted, and engaged in the ON position,
with your bicycle rolling with enough speed to illuminate the light bulbs, usually about
3-4 miles per hour.

light the generator must be properly installed, adjusted, and engaged in the ON position,
with your bicycle rolling with enough speed to illuminate the light bulbs, usually about
3-4 miles per hour.
To turn on your generator and thus your lights, press down on the generator body as
shown in Figure 82. This will engage the generator and the lights will come on as soon
as your bike is rolling. You should visually check that both the headlight and taillight are
illuminated as you start to ride. To turn off your lights, rotate the generator body away
from its contact with the tire until you hear a click. If you have done this correctly, the
generator should stay in the OFF position.

Check your lights. For best results, the lights should be carefully aimed to provide the
best blend of brightness and distance for your style of riding, as well as the best location
in front of your bike (generally centered directly in front of the bike). The lenses of the
lights should be kept clean. Remember that your field of vision may be diminished when
riding at night, even with the headlight on. You should adapt your riding speed for safety.
Also remember that although you have your lights on, you will be less visible than during
daytime riding.
