INSTALLING THE BOOM
First, remove any packaging from around the
end of the main tube on the bike, including the
transportation bung, which is inserted into the
end of the boom to prevent damage. The boom
can then be slid into the main tube and the
chain looped over the chainring. The boom can
be set to the length required and the two pinch
bolts tightened to the recommended torque, see
Appendix A
NOTE
– Tighten the pinch bolts evenly to prevent
damage to the frame
ADJUSTING THE TIMING CHAIN
The timing chain can be tensioned by undoing the
quick release on the tensioner arm and rotating
the arm to take up the slack in the chain. If the
tensioner alone can’t take up the slack in the
chain, it is possible to shorten the timing chain by
removing some chain links.
INSTALLING THE FRONT STAND
(Optional extra) The bike is packed with the lower
stand brace fitted to the down tube, the main
section of the stand is packed separately in the
small parts box. The stand mounts to the frame at
two points; the upper clamp, slides over the stoker
bars, as shown earlier in the manual. The lower
mount is via the brace, the arms of the brace need
to be bolted to the main body of the stand using
the supplied nut and bolts.
INSTALLING THE KIDDY SYSTEM
(Optional extra) The Kiddy system main body
should be mouted to the main tube of the tandem,
the crank assembly will be pocked separately in
the small parts box.
To mount the crank assembly to the main body, the
T nuts need to be aligned with the corresponding
slots in the main body.
NOTE
– It’s easier to mount the T nuts to the channel
if one T nut has the long end facing out with the
opposite side T nut facing in.
