Setup for Driver and Mules
(see page 19 for a description of these roles.)
1.
Handle bar adjustment:
To raise or lower the handle bar, pull the detent pins on both the
steering tubes directly below the handlebars and slide the handle bar up or down. Re-pin
at the desired height.
2.
Set up for the Lead Mule
a.
For easy and moderate level trails, attach a towing strap to the front of the forward
beam (Figure 13).
b.
For more difficult trails, especially those involving significant uphill sections, install the
towing poles (optional component) (Figure 12).
i.
Screw the poles together—each arm has two sections. The arms are connected by a
swivel fitting.
ii.
To attach the poles to the side of the towing harness, put the eye bolt at the end of
the pole over the webbing loop at the widest point of the lead mule’s hip and slide
the carabiner through the webbing loop to secure the poles and minimize slop.
iii.
Pull the detent pin on the top of the forward beam, insert the towing pole swivel
fitting, and insert the pin, attaching the towing poles to the top of the forward beam.
iv.
Buckle the lead mule into the towing harness.
