Excelerator XLT Series
24
Part No. 1114850
TWENTY-SEVEN (27) SPEED CASSETTE (FIGURE 4)
NOTE: This procedure applies to the Excelerator XLT Pro and XLT Gold ONLY.
To shift gears, you
MUST
turn the crank forward with the chain under some tension while the
bike is moving.
DO NOT
attempt to shift gears while bike is stationary.
There are two (2) shifters installed on the handcycle. The RIGHT shifter operates the nine (9)
gears on the lower derailleur and the LEFT shifter operates the three (3) chain rings on the upper
derailleur. Nine (9) gears X three (3) chain rings = Twenty-seven (27) speeds.
Shifting the chain on the lower derailleur towards the centerline of the handcycle is for climbing/
accelerating (easier cranking) and is called a DOWNSHIFT. Moving the chain on the lower
derailleur out or away from the centerline of the handcycle is for speed (harder cranking) and is
called an UPSHIFT.
Refer to the chart below for an explanation and use of the upper derailleur chain rings in combination
with the lower derailleur gears:

Each shifter has a large lever (brake handle) and a small lever (shifter handle). The right and left
shifters work in an opposite manner.
WARNING
DO NOT press BOTH shifter levers down at the same time. Doing so may
damage the shifter and will void the warranty. The gears WILL NOT shift when
both levers are pressed simultaneously.
DO NOT use excessive force. This may damage the shifter and void the warranty.
