2.8 Fit the seat to the lowest position

The seat is provided with 4 plastic SP-6 clamps. Two of these

clamps go around the bottom seat rail, and the other 2 go

around the top rail on the hard-shell seat or the 3

rail

(counting from the bottom) on the mesh seat.

The 2 clips that go around the bottom rail are provided with

quick-release clamps. Place the clips on the bottom rail as

shown in the picture below, and then screw the quick-release

into the clip. Do not forget the small plastic spacer; the quick-

release will not work reliably without it.

The 2 clips that go on the upper rail are provided with M5

fasteners; quick-releases are not necessary as the seat mount

is held to the frame with a quick-release. Clip the SP-6

clamps to the rail and thread the bolts into place.

Set the 3 position upper seat mount in the lowest position (see photo). There is a quick-release skewer that goes

through the front hole on the top of the rear section. Place the seat onto the trike and see if it lines up with the

two mounting cups. Get the seat to fit by sliding the rear section in or out. Try to get the seat mount to sit at an

angle similar to the picture below right. Hold the seat on loosely with the 4 plastic clips supplied (quick-release

clips on the bottom, and bolted clips on the top) and then tighten the 2 lower quick-releases. Tighten the upper

seat mount quick-release, and then tighten the 2 upper plastic clip bolts. Check to see that the rear section is

still upright and then tighten the two rear section main clamp bolts evenly and tightly.

2.9 Fit the front boom to an approximate position.

Fit the front boom into the frame taking care not

to damage the plastic shim located inside the front

of the main frame. Position the boom at

approximately a hands span from the base of the

front derailleur post to the end of the main

cruciform.

Note: If you have purchased the optional quick-

release kit, please refer to the instructions for its

installation in Accessories Section of this manual.

2.10 Fit the optional chainring guard
