Adjust the tightness of the chain as follows:
Loosen the axle nuts (4) of the rear wheel. Loosen the clamp (5) on
the brake arm (6), but do not remove the nut and the screw from
the clamp
NOTE: Make sure the rear wheel is in the center of the bicycle frame.
Move the rear wheel forward or backward as necessary, until you can pull the chain one-half inch away
from a straightedge. Hold the wheel in this position and tighten the axle nuts to the recommended torque
of 14 ft.-lbs. Tighten the brake arm clamp.
Maintenance
Frequently check the tire inflation pressure because all tires lose air slowly over time. For
extended storage, keep the weight of the bicycle off the tires.
WARNING: Do not ride or sit on the bicycle if either inner tube is under inflated. This can
damage the tire and inner tube. Do not use unregulated air hoses to inflate the inner
tubes. An unregulated hose can suddenly over inflate bicycle tires and cause them to burst.
Use a hand or a foot pump to inflate the inner tubes. Service station meter-regulated air hoses are also
acceptable. The correct inflation pressure is shown on the tire sidewall.
Before adding air to any tire, make sure the edge of the tire (the bead) is the same distance from the rim,
all around the rim, on both sides of the tire. If the tire does not appear to be seated correctly, release air
from the inner tube until you can push the bead of the tire into the rim where necessary. Add air slowly
and stop frequently to check the tire sealing and the pressure, until you reach the correct inflation pressure
as indicated on the tire sidewall.
Replace worn or defective tires and inner tubes.
