- PACTO Nine Folding Bike (main unit)
- Fenders (front and rear)
- Front and Rear Lights (battery-powered)

Configurar
Although 95% pre-assembled, some minor adjustments and final assembly steps are required before your first ride.
- Desdobrando a moldura: Carefully unfold the main frame until it locks into place. Secure the frame hinge with the quick-release lever. Ensure it is tight and there is no play.
- Configuração do guidão: Raise the handlebar stem to your desired height and secure it with the quick-release lever. Ensure the handlebar is aligned straight with the front wheel. Tighten the handlebar clamp firmemente.
- Ajuste do canote do selim: Insert the seat post into the frame and adjust the saddle height for comfortable pedaling. Your leg should have a slight bend at the knee when the pedal is at its lowest point. Secure the seat post with the quick-release lever.
- Instalação do pedal: If not already installed, screw the pedals into the crank arms. Note that pedals are typically marked 'L' for left and 'R' for right. The left pedal screws in counter-clockwise, and the right pedal screws in clockwise.
- Inflação dos pneus: Calibre os pneus até a pressão recomendada indicada na lateral do pneu.
- Verificação do freio: Test both front and rear brakes to ensure they engage smoothly and effectively. Adjust cable tension if necessary.
- Verificação de equipamento: Shift through all 3 gears to ensure smooth transitions.
Dobrar e Desdobrar
The PACTO Nine is designed for quick and easy folding in approximately 10 seconds, making it highly portable.
To Fold the Bike:
- Abaixe o canote do selim até a posição mais baixa.
- Release the handlebar stem quick-release and fold the handlebars down.
- Open the main frame hinge quick-release and fold the frame in half.
- Fold the pedals inward if they are foldable (check your specific model).
To Unfold the Bike:
- Reverse the folding steps. Ensure all quick-release levers are securely closed and all folding mechanisms are locked before riding.


Operacional
Gears (Shimano Nexus 3-Speed)
Your PACTO Nine is equipped with a Shimano Nexus 3-speed internal hub gear system. This system provides reliable and low-maintenance shifting.
- Mudança: Use the twist shifter on the handlebar to change gears.
- Engrenagem 1: For climbing hills or starting from a stop.
- Engrenagem 2: For general riding on flat terrain.
- Engrenagem 3: For higher speeds on flat or downhill sections.
You can shift gears while stationary, which is a benefit of internal hub gears, but it is generally smoother to shift while pedaling lightly.
Brakes (Linear Pull Brakes)
The PACTO Nine uses linear pull brakes (V-brakes) for effective stopping power. It features two hand brakes, one for the front wheel and one for the rear wheel. There is no coaster brake (back-pedal brake).
- The right lever typically controls the rear brake.
- The left lever typically controls the front brake.
- Apply both brakes simultaneously for controlled stopping. Avoid sudden, hard application of the front brake, especially at high speeds, to prevent skidding or losing control.

Manutenção
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your PACTO Nine Folding Bike.
- Limpeza: Clean your bike regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid high-pressure washers.
- Lubrificação: Lubricate the chain every few weeks or after riding in wet conditions. Use bicycle-specific chain lubricant.
- Freios: Check brake pads for wear and replace them when necessary. Ensure brake cables are free of rust and fraying.
- Pneus: Inspect tires for cuts, punctures, or excessive wear. Maintain correct tire pressure.
- Fixadores: Verifique periodicamente todos os parafusos, porcas e alavancas de liberação rápida para garantir que estejam apertados e seguros. Preste atenção especial aos mecanismos de dobragem.
- Armazenar: Store your bike in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
