ASSEMBLE YOUR HYDROBIKE
®
STEP 3:
Attach the bike frame
The bike frame sits on top of the cross tubes. Set the base of the bike
frame on the cross tube with the Rudder at the front
(A)
. Align all four
holes on the base of the bike frame with the holes on the cross tubes (B).
The bike will be secured to the crossbar in a few more steps.
In the parts bag, locate the six bolts and washers. Insert the washers into
the bolts to be flush with the bolt head
(C)
. Repeat for all 6 bolts. We will
use 4 of these bolts now and the remaining two in a later step.
STEP 4:
Install sideboards
Remove the two black knobs on one side of the HydroBike and place them
aside but within reach
(A)
.
Notice the thicker edge of the sideboards is placed on the inside of the
Hydrobike
(B)
. Place the sideboard on the two bolts on the float. Check that
the holes on the inside of the sideboard are aligned with the bike frame and
cross tube holes. Secure the outside of the sideboard by replacing the black
knobs over the bolts fixed on the floats, then insert a bolt from the bottom up,
securing with black clamping knobs on top
(C)
.
Do not tighten knobs fully.
Repeat with another bolt and knob for the rear of the sideboard.
Repeat these steps for the other sideboard.
Once all bolts are affixed with black knobs, tighten all knobs by hand with
moderate force.
