Adjusting the Lever Reach

Your Zinger is designed to be "one size fits all".  However, if you feel that you are reaching too far down to operate the levers 

you can adjust them up.   Or if you feel that you’d prefer the levers further away, you can adjust them down.   You will need the 
5mm Hex Wrench that came with your Zinger to do this.  See photos below.

HINT:

 

The  seat  has  no  adjustments.    If  you  prefer  more  lower  back  support,  a  small  pillow  behind  the  lower  back  may  be 

beneficial.




First

, on the inside of the base of each 

lever, loosen the top screw but do not 
remove it.  Remove the bottom screw.  
Keep the washers on the screw.




To bring lever higher

, lift the lever so 

that  the  bottom  screw  can  be 
threaded  into  the  hole  as  shown.  Be 
absolutely  certain  to  tighten  both 
screws firmly.

To  adjust  lever  lower

,  drop  the  lever 

so  that  the  lower  screw  can  be 
threaded  into  the  hole  as  shown.  Be 
absolutely  certain  to  tighten  both 
screws firmly.
