Chain Adjustment

WARNING:

• The chain must remain on the sprock-

ets. If the chain comes o the sprock-

ets, the coaster brake will not operate.

• Do not attempt chain repairs. If there

is a problem with the chain, have a

bicycle service shop make any repairs.

Adjustment:

The chain must be at the correct tightness. If too tight, the bicycle will be diﬃ cult to pedal.

If too loose, the chain can come o the sprockets.

When the chain

is at the correct tightness, you can rotate the crank freely and you can

pull it no more than one-half inch

away from a straightedge

as shown.

Adjust the tightness of the chain as follows:

• Loosen the axle nuts of the rear wheel.

• Move the rear wheel forward or backward as necessary.

NOTE: Make sure the rear wheel is in the center of the bicycle frame.

• Hold the wheel in this position and tighten securely.

Coaster Brakes

These models are equipped with a rear

‘coaster’ brake that is operated by rotating the

crank backwards.

Operate the coaster brake as follows:

• Push the pedals backward to move the

chain backward

• The chain activates the coaster brake

mechanism that is inside the rear wheel

hub

• As you push the pedals backward with

increasing force, the braking action of the

coaster brake increases.
