Includes 16" and 20" BMX Bikes
Assembly is the same for boy’s and girl’s bikes.
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 insure
that no required parts are accidentally discarded. Assemble your
bicycle following the steps that pertain to your model.
Note: Your bicycle may be equipped with different style components
than the ones illustrated.
Remove the protective cap from the stem wedge and loosen the stem
bolt using the 6mm Allen key. Some models may use a 13mm
hexagonal bolt instead of an Allen key bolt. Place the handlebar stem
into the head tube, observing the minimum insertion mark on the
handlebar stem and ensuring that all cables are free of tangles.
Check that the fork and the handlebar are facing forward, and that
they are properly aligned with the front wheel. Tighten the stem bolt.
Rotate the handlebar to the desired position and tighten the Stem
Cap Binder Bolts securely using a 5mm Allen key.
The handlebar must be inserted so that the
minimum insertion mark cannot be seen.
