Santana Stowaway, Assembly And Disassembly

Page: 5 / 8

FRAME
16. Remove the rear handlebar by loosening the two bolts in the middle of the adjustable stem (not at the
handlebar and not at the seatpost). Loosen the handlebar bolt enough to rotate the stem and handlebar to
one plane, and place in foam layer #1.
17. Remove the front stem/handlebar assembly by removing the headset adjustment top cap bolt and loosening
the bolts on the side of the handlebar stem. If using a bike stand, be sure the bottom of the wheel is sup-
ported, so the fork won’t fall out. If your tandem is equipped with a locking collar that holds the fork into the
frame, do not loosen it.
18. If your tandem does not have a locking collar, replace the handlebar stem packing spacer and the headset
adjustment top cap. Do not overtighten. (If your bike requires the fork to be removed, stack the headset on
the fork steer tube in the same configuration it was removed.)
19. Remove the front wheel, remove the quick-release from the wheel (being careful not to lose the springs), and
place the quick-release in layer #2 on the ground. Fully deflate the tire.
20. Remove the front seat/seatpost assembly.
21. Loosen (do not disconnect) all the round couplers until finger tight with the S&S coupler wrench.
22. Front triangle: If equipped with a drum brake, wrap the lateral and down tubes with the Velcro
®
padding.
Place the plastic cap on the drive side of the bottom bracket spindle. Remove the front triangle, and place in
foam layer #2 on the ground.
23. Remove the top tube and place in foam layer #1.
24. Remove the lateral tube and place in foam layer #1.
25. Remove the bottom tube(s) and place in foam layer #1.
26. Put the plastic cap on the lateral coupler end of the rear triangle.
27. Remove the rear seat/seatpost assembly.
PACKING
28. Place the tools in the plastic bag and place in foam layer #1.
29. Place foam layer #2 with its contents in the case.
30. Place foam layer #3 in the case, and place the rear wheel in it with the cassette up.
31. Place foam layer #4 in the case. Rotate the front handlebar stem on the bar, and place the assembly in the
case with the handlebar stem on the bottom and the handlebar facing the side of the case. (If equipped with
a side pull brake, wrap it with the Velcro
®
padding.)
32. Place foam layer #5 in the case, and place the seat/seatpost assemblies in it.
33. Place the rear triangle on top of foam layer #5. Place the front wheel inside the rear triangle.
34. Place foam layer #6 in the case, and place the frame pump in it.
35. Make adjustments to allow the lid to close completely. Engage the side latches first, and be sure the top and
bottom metal tracks fit together. Engage the front latches, and lock if necessary.
