A. Saddle position
Correct saddle adjustment is an important factor. If the
saddle position is not comfortable for your child or your
child’s feet cannot touch the ground, see your Authorized
Specialized Dealer.
„
Loosen the seat post clamp (A)
„
Raise or lower the seat post in the seat tube (B)
„
Make sure the saddle is straight fore and aft (parallel
with the frame)
„
Re-tighten the seat post clamp (A) to the
recommended torque (55 in-lbf [6.2 N*m])
Once the saddle is at the correct height, make sure that the
seat post does not project from the frame beyond its “Minimum
Insertion” or “Maximum Extension” (C) mark (fig. 2).
WARNING: If the seat post is not inserted in the seat tube as described in
section A above, the seat post or seat tube may break, which could cause your
child to lose control and fall.
NOTE: The Hotwalk seat post has a limited adjustability range. Pay particular attention to
the “Minimum Insertion” or “Maximum Extension” mark.
„
Recommended torque for the seat collar is 55 in-lbf (6.2 N*m)
B. Handlebar height and angle
The Hotwalk is equipped with a “quill” stem, which
clamps inside the steerer tube by way of an expanding
binder bolt (fig. 3).
A quill stem has an etched or stamped mark on its shaft
which designates the stem’s “Minimum Insertion” or
“Maximum Extension” (A).
WARNING: A quill stem’s Minimum Insertion
Mark must not be visible above the top of the
headset. If the stem is extended beyond the
Minimum Insertion Mark the stem may break or
damage the fork’s steerer tube, which could cause your child to lose control
and fall.
The Hotwalk quill stem has a limited adjustability range. Pay particular attention
to the “Minimum Insertion” or “Maximum Extension” mark.
WARNING: An insufficiently tightened quill stem bolt or handlebar clamp bolt
may compromise steering action, which could cause your child to lose control
and fall. Place the front wheel of the Hotwalk between your legs and attempt to
twist the handlebar/stem assembly. If you can twist the stem in relation to the
front wheel, turn the handlebars in relation to the stem, or turn the bar end
extensions in relation to the handlebar, the bolts are insufficiently tightened.
„
Recommended torque for the quill stem bolt is 160 in-lbf (18.1 N*m).
„
Recommended torque for the handlebar clamp bolts is 80 in-lbf (9.0 N*m).
