MANUAL"FOR"THE"SBU"V3"

General"Warning:"

Like any sport, unicycling involves risk of injury and

damage. By choosing to ride the SBU, you assume the

responsibility for that risk. You need to understand,

and to practice the rules of safe and responsible riding

and of proper use and maintenance. Proper use and

maintenance of your SBU reduces risk of injury. This

Manual contains many “Warnings” and “Cautions”

concerning the consequences of failure to maintain or

inspect your SBU and of failure to follow safe cycling

practices.

The combination of the safety alert symbol and the

word WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous

situation, which, if not avoided, could result in serious

injury or death.

The combination of the safety alert symbol and the

word CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous

situation, which, if not avoided, may result in minor or

moderate injury, or is an alert against unsafe practices.

The word CAUTION used without the safety alert

symbol indicates a situation, which, if not avoided,

could result in serious damage to the SBU or the

voiding of your warranty. Many of the Warnings and

Cautions say, “You may lose control and fall.” Because

any fall can result in serious injury or even death, we

do not always repeat the warning of possible injury or

death. Because it is impossible to anticipate every

situation or condition, which can occur while riding,

this Manual makes no representation about the safe

use of the SBU under all conditions. There are risks

MANUAL"FOR"THE"SBU"V3!

associated with the use of any unicycle which cannot

be predicted or avoided, and which are the sole

responsibility of the rider.

Fit"

Does"your"SBU"fit"you?"

Correct fit is an essential element of SBU safety,

performance and comfort - it will result in the correct

fit for your body.

The SBU is designed for riders with

an inseam of at least 26”,

although it is possible for

riders of any height to ride the SBU, it will require

assistance from another person while learning how to

ride the SBU for the first time. The SBU is easy to

adjust to fit your body; there is simply one item that

addresses fit, the seat height.

WARNING: If your SBU does not fit properly, you may

lose control and fall. Adjust the SBU for proper fit,

have someone assist you during the learning to ride

process. We recommend two people on either side of

you for balance support.

Seat"Adjustments"

If you are a beginner, we recommend you set the seat

height at a level that allows you to place both feet flat

on the ground while straddling the SBU’s seat. This is

important when learning to balance left and right on

the SBU. After you have mastered left right balance,

we recommend you raise the seat for a higher level of

riding comfort.

The seat is adjusted using the quick-release clamp

located on the seat post. Make sure to observe the

Minimum Insertion requirements of the seat post. The

MANUAL"FOR"THE"SBU"V3"

seat post should be inserted into the SBU frame AT

LEAST TWO INCHES. Once your seat is at the desired

height, tighten the clamp slightly, and align the seat

with the wheel, making sure they are in line with each

other, and then tighten so that the seat post does not

have movement in any direction. Your SBU may come

with a seat post that is too long. It may need to be

trimmed down with a tube cutter. Consult your local

hardware store to have them cut the tube to length if

this is needed.

WARNING: Always make sure that your seat post does

not extend from the frame beyond the Minimum

Insertion requirements of three inches; the seat post

may break, or separate from the frame, which could

cause you to lose control and fall.

WARNING: After any seat adjustment, be sure that the

seat clamp is properly tightened before riding. A loose

seat clamp can cause damage to the seat post, or can

cause you to lose control and fall. A correctly

tightened seat clamp will allow no seat movement in

any direction. Periodically check to make sure that the

seat clamp is properly tightened.

Safety"First"

Always wear an approved helmet when riding your

SBU. Be sure to attach the chin strap, and follow the

helmet manufacturer’s instructions for fit, use and care

of your helmet.

MANUAL"FOR"THE"SBU"V3!

Also wear other required and recommended safety

equipment such as: elbow pads, kneepads, shin

guards and wrist guards.

See Appendix A for more Safety Information.

WARNING: Many states require specific safety

devices. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself

with the laws of the state where you ride and to comply

with all applicable laws. This includes properly

equipping yourself and your SBU as the law requires.

Mechanical"Safety"Check"

Routinely check the condition of your SBU before every

ride. Some service and maintenance can and should be

performed by the owner, and requires no special tools

or knowledge beyond what is presented in this

manual. The following are examples of the type of

service you should perform yourself. A qualified

mechanic using the correct tools and procedures

specified by Focus Designs, Inc should perform all

other service, maintenance and repair in a properly

equipped facility.

WARNING: Before performing any work on the SBU

make sure to disengage the power by turning the

safety lock into the “locked” position. This will prevent

the SBU from an accidental power on.

Nuts,"bolts,"wires,"battery,"top"plate,"etc."

Make sure nothing is loose or damaged. Check all

bolts and nuts to make sure they are tight. Check

wiring for damage. With the SBU turned OFF, lift it off

the ground by two or three inches, while holding

bounce the tire on the ground. Anything sound, feel or

MANUAL"FOR"THE"SBU"V3"

look loose? Do a quick visual and tactile inspection of

the whole SBU. Any loose parts or accessories? If so,

secure them. If you’re not sure, ask someone with

experience to check.

Frame"

Check the frame particularly in the area around welded

joints; the seat post and clamp for any deep scratches,

cracks or discoloration. These are signs of stress-

caused fatigue and indicate that a part is at the end of

its useful life and needs to be replaced.

Tire"

Make sure the tire is sufficiently inflated but below the

maximum recommended pressure that is printed on

the sidewall of the tire. The best way to inflate a tire to

the correct pressure is with a bicycle pump, which has

a built-in pressure gauge. Check the tire and look for

any cuts in the tread and sidewall. Check to make sure

the tire bead is seated evenly on the rim. Replace a

damaged tire before riding.

WARNING: Riding the SBU with a flat or under-inflated

tire, will void your warranty.

WARNING: Never inflate a tire beyond the maximum

pressure marked on the tire’s sidewall. Exceeding the

recommended maximum pressure may blow the tire

off the rim, which could cause damage to the SBU and

injury to the rider and bystanders – it will also void

your warranty.

10"

MANUAL"FOR"THE"SBU"V3!

CAUTION: Pencil type automotive tire gauges can be

inaccurate and should not be relied upon for

consistent accurate pressure readings. Instead use a

quality dial gauge.

Tube"

If the tube is damaged or punctured we recommend

replacing the tube, patches should only be used for an

emergency repair and the patched tube should be

replaced as soon as possible.

To#replace#the#tube:#

i. Make sure the SBU is in the “off” position.

ii. Remove the 8 bolts holding the wheel to the

frame.

iii. Carefully move wheel away from the frame by

letting out the slack in the wire being fed

through the frame.

iv. Remove the tire using a bicycle tire remover,

and remove the damaged tube.

v. Place a new tube in the tire; place tire onto the

wheel making sure the tire bead is seated

evenly on the rim.

vi. Inflate the tire to recommended pressure that

is printed on the sidewall of the tire.

vii. Place wheel back onto frame fork, paying

attention to the proper orientation of the

wheel.

viii. Securely fasten the 8 bolts back to the

frame. Spin the wheel to make sure it is secure

and spins freely.

ix. Check to make sure everything is secure, and

you are ready to ride again.
