Line the handlebars up with the front wheel and securely tighten them with
an Allen wrench. Observe the stem – there is a marking on the stem that
indicates the minimum safe insertion. The line or marking must be inside
the frame. If the stem is not inserted this far into the frame it may break
and the rider may lose control.
4.
Install the pedals by carefully threading through crank arm, then
tightening securely with a wrench.
5.
(See Figure 2)
Install the seat and adjust the height. Since your Shadow
has a bicycle type quick release mechanism to secure the seat, it is essential
that you understand how to use this correctly
.
How to adjust seat height
Loosen the quick release lever, adjust seat to desired height and tighten
the lever. Read section below for complete information on Quick Release
Operating Instructions.
CAUTION: Do not adjust the saddle height above the safety line found on
the seat pole.
Figure 2
Quick Release Operating Instructions:
1)
To release the lever, pull it away from the bike and towards you until it turns 180
°
away from the bicycle. The quick release lever is open when the lever curves
away from the bicycle.
2)
The tightness of the lever is adjusted with the nut opposite the release lever and
by rotating the quick release lever. Turn the nut by hand to adjust the tension
while holding the lever stable.
3)
To lock the release lever, push lever up and over towards the bike frame until it
turns over 180
°
and or the lever curves toward the bicycle. The lever is securely
tightened when it leaves an imprint on the palm of your hand from pushing it
closed.
4)
Once the lever is securely closed, you should not be able to move it unless you
open it again (Step 1). If you can easily move it, then open the quick release lever
again and tighten the nut another half turn clockwise. Continue with Step 3.
