GETTING STARTED
Open the carton from the top and remove the bicycle. Remove the straps and protective
wrapping from the bicycle. Inspect the bicycle and all accessories and parts for possible
shortages. It is recommended that the threads and all moving parts in the parts package
be lubricated prior to installation. Do not discard packing materials until assembly is
complete to ensure that no required parts are accidentally discarded. Assemble your
bicycle following the steps that pertain to your model. (Fig. 3.2)
NOTE: Your bicycle may be equipped with different style components than the
ones illustrated.
HANDLEBAR ASSEMBLY
Remove all protective packaging from the handlebar assembly if not already done.
Turn the fork of the bicycle to face forward. Note that “forward” means that the wheel
mounting slots are in the furthest forward position so the wheel axle will be in front of
the fork when assembled (Fig. 3.3).
Check handlebar stem clamp bolts to be sure they are properly tightened, and
handlebar cannot move. The angle of the handlebar can be adjusted. To adjust; loosen
all of the handlebar stem clamp bolts, and rotate the handlebar to the desired angle.
Be sure that the handlebar stays centered in the stem. Retighten the bolts a LITTLE at a
time being sure that the gap between the stem cap and stem stays even. Repeat
tightening each bolt a little bit until handlebar is secure.
