How To Operate A SwitchGrade
SwitchGrades are precision-machined components engineered to exacting tolerances. To ensure safe operation, optimal performance, and long-term durability, each model should be used and maintained with proper care.
Read carefully to understand how to operate your SwitchGrade PRO or SwitchGrade EVO below.
SwitchGrade PRO
Before operating the SwitchGrade Pro, ensure you are either stopped and safely off your bike, or not seated with your full weight on the saddle.
CAUTION! Do not attempt to operate the SwitchGrade when traveling at higher speeds or during excessively technical terrain, whether ascending or descending (ie lots of rocks, roots, steep grades etc), or you risk serious damage to your property or serious injury or death.
How to Use the SwitchGrade PRO
The SwitchGrade is equipped with Aenomaly's exclusive Loc8 mechanical indexing system, providing up to 8 discrete positions separated by 5 degree increments. Loc8 allows you to freely rotate the saddle to your desired position and positively engage the lock quickly and easily.
Step 1. Pull up on the Lever to unlock, then rotate saddle.
Step 2. Release Lever when desired saddle position is found.
Step 3. Ensure lock is activated by pushing down on saddle until it clicks into place.*
*VERY IMPORTANT!
The locking mechanism of the SwitchGrade PRO features top and bottom teeth which must interlock to prevent movement. While the teeth are designed to interlock upon release of the Lever, it is strongly recommended that you double check that a locking event has occured by pushing down on the saddle to ensure it is fixed in place. A click will be heard when a positive lock has been established.
Do not place your weight on the saddle until a positive lock has been established otherwise you risk damaging the SwitchGrade PRO.
You will hear an audible click and feel haptic feedback through the SwitchGrade and saddle as the locking mechanism engages.
WARNING!
When tilting into the furthest positions, either forward or backward all the way, allow the locking mechanism to engage properly before you place weight on the saddle and resume riding. Failure to ensure a positive lock may damage the SwitchGrade PRO.
SwitchGrade EVO
Before operating the SwitchGrade EVO, ensure you are either off your bicycle or not fully seated with your entire weight on the saddle.
WARNING: Do not attempt to operate the SwitchGrade when traveling at speed or during excessively technical terrain, whether ascending or descending (ie lots of rocks, roots, steep grades etc), or you risk serious damage to your property or serious injury or death.
Step 1. Pull up on the Lever to unlock
