Testing Stem and Handlebar Tightness Assembly TO TEST THE TIGHTNESS OF THE STEM: • Straddle the front wheel between your legs. • Try to turn the front wheel by turning the handlebar. • If the handlebar and stem turn without turning the front wheel, realign the stem with the wheel and tighten the stem bolt(s) tighter than before (about 1/2 revolution only at a time). • Do this test again, until the handlebar and stem do not turn without turning the front wheel.
Seat Installation WARNING: To prevent the Seat coming loose and possible loss of control, the “MIN-IN” (minimum insertion) mark on the Seat Post must be below the top of the Seat Tube . A C SEAT AND SEAT POST SETUP: 1. If needed, loosen Nuts on Seat Clamp and rotate Seat into riding position. 2. Ensure the Seat Post is fully through the TOP Seat Clamp . 3. Tighten the Seat Clamp so the Seat does not move on the seat post. 4. If the Seat Clamp has a Nut on each side, tighten both nuts equally. 5.
Seat Installation - continued G Assembly 6. Post Clamp . The tightening torque of the Quick Release Lever should be tight enough so that the seat does not move during normal operation. Seat Bolt Mount (various models) I Some models have a Bolt , Washer and Nut instead of a Quick Release Lever. • If needed, loosen the nut enough to insert the Seat Post . • Point the seat forward and insert Seat Post to the Minimum Insertion marks . • Tighten Nut securely so it supports the rider without moving.

Dual Rear Reflectors (various models): A The Rear Reflectors may be pre-installed on the bike chain stays. Make sure they are secure, not bent and are pointing straight backwards.
Assembly Pedal Installation CAUTION: There is a RIGHT pedal marked R and a LEFT pedal marked L. L NOTE: A Pedal Wrench is preferred for attaching Pedals. A thin open-end wrench can also be used. • The pedal marked R has right-hand threads. Tighten it in a clockwise direction. • The pedal marked L has left-hand threads. Tighten it in a counterclockwise direction (anticlockwise).
WARNING: • Inspect the bicycle frequently. Failure to inspect the bicycle and to make repairs or adjustments, as necessary, can result in injury to the rider or to others. Make sure all parts are correctly assembled and adjusted as written in this manual and any “Special Instructions”. • Immediately replace any damaged, missing, or badly worn parts. • Make sure all fasteners are correctly tightened as written in this manual and any “Special Instructions”.
Maintenance Tires Maintenance: • Frequently check the tire inflation pressure because all tires lose air slowly over time. For extended storage, keep the weight of the off the tires. • Do not use unregulated air hoses to inflate the tire/tubes. An unregulated hose can suddenly over inflate tires and cause them to burst. • Replace worn tires. WARNING : Do not ride or sit on the unit if a tire is under inflated. This can damage the tire, inner tube and rim.
Linear Pull Brake System Adjustment - Before Starting • Inflate Tires to recommended pressure on Tire side wall. • Make sure Tire is centered in Fork. • If Needed, Re-attach Front Brake Cable: • Squeeze the two Brake arms together . • Insert the Brake Cable Guide into the cutout in the Guide Bracket . • Make sure the Brake Cable Guide is seated securely in the Guide Bracket cutout.

A E Maintenance PUT THE BRAKE SHOES THE CORRECT DISTANCE FROM THE RIM: G If desired, adjust Brake Levers to a comfortable distance from the grip using the Adjustment Screw . Turning the screw IN brings it closer to the grip. Make sure brake line Sheaths , are seated correctly. Position each Brake Shoe 1/16 inch away from the rim: Turn the caliper brake adjusting Screws in or out to make the adjustment.
Linear Pull Brake System - continued Maintenance Test the tightness of the cable clamp (fig C): 1. 2. 3. G 1. 2. Squeeze each Brake Lever with strong pressure If the brake lever touches the grip, adjust the brakes again. Squeeze each Brake Levers with firm pressure. . Make sure the cable does not move in the Cable Clamp If the cable moves in the cable clamp, adjust the brakes again but tighten the cable clamp tighter than before. 4. Do this test again, until the cable does not move in the cable clamp.
Shift System • Right-hand Shift Lever • Rear Sprocket Set . C A operates the Rear Derailleur B. A fig A Maintenance Parts of the Shift System: C B Operation: Operate the shift system as follows: 1. The rider turns the rear shift control around the handlebar (for twist shift models) or moves the shift lever (thumb shift models) to an index position 2. When the rear shift control moves into each position with a “click” sound, the shift is complete 3.
Maintenance Shift System - continued CAUTION: Do not force the shift lever. Shift only when pedaling forward and without strong force. Do not backpedal. Backpedaling can cause the chain to come off the sprockets. Backpedaling and shifting while not pedaling can damage the sprockets and stretch the cable wire. There is no “correct gear” in which to ride the bicycle. The “correct gear” is the one that is comfortable to you. To select a gear while riding (this model has only one Front Sprocket A) (fig B).
The rear derailleur has two adjusting screws. The “low” adjusting screw, sometimes marked L, limits how far the rear derailleur and chain can move toward the wheel. The “high” adjusting screw, sometimes marked H, limits how far the rear derailleur and chain can move away from the wheel. 3 Maintenance Rear Derailleur Adjustments 1 2 3 4 5 2 1 6 A B fig C Put the “high” adjusting screw in the correct position as follows (fig D): • Shift the chain onto the smallest rear sprocket.
Rear Derailleur Adjustments - continued Put the “low” adjusting Screw in the correct position as follows (fig E): • Shift the chain onto the largest rear Sprocket . • Loosen Nut of the cable clamp. • Turn the “low” adjusting Screw so the Jockey Roller is exactly below the largest rear sprocket. • Tighten the Nut of the cable clamp. Maintenance F H Adjust the Index Shift System: • Shift the chain onto the smallest rear sprocket.
Lubrication Maintenance WARNING: • Do not over lubricate. If oil gets on the wheel rims or the brake shoes, it will reduce brake performance and a longer distance to stop the bicycle will be necessary. Injury to the rider or to others can occur. • The chain can throw excess oil onto the wheel rim. Wipe excess oil off the chain. • Keep all oil off the surfaces of the pedals where your feet rest. • Using soap and hot water, wash all oil off the wheel rims, the brake shoes, the pedals, and the tires.
