Step Two: Install Handlebar and Handle Stud Assembly
Parts required:
paper clip, two plastic pins (one longer than the other) and handle stud assembly.
Remove the plastic cover on the upper neck portion of the main frame assembly. Slide in the handlebar
with the upright portion of the handlebar pointing away from the seat (see illustration). Straighten the
paper clip and use it to support the plastic pins as you insert them into the frame by sliding the straight
part of the paper clip into the hole at the end of the plastic pin.
Warning!
If the wrong length pin is
used, the handlebar will not move.
Line up the holes in the handlebar with the holes in the neck of the
main frame. Take the shorter of the two plastic pins and insert the paper clip into the hole on the side of
the pin. Use the paperclip to push the pin through the lined-up holes all the way into the handlebar so that
it is centered in the mainframe. The pin should now be through both holes in the handlebar post as it rests
in the neck of the mainframe. Gently slide handlebar up until paperclip makes contact with neck of the
mainframe, then remove the paperclip. Screw the handle stud assembly into the threaded insert located
in the front of the neck on the main frame. Raise the handlebar to its fully extended position and tighten
the handlebar in place by screwing in the handle stud assembly until it firmly holds the handlebar in place.
Once again, use the paperclip to insert the longer of the two pins into the holes in the neck of the main
frame. Center the pin in the main frame, hold the pin in place with your fingers and remove the paper clip.
Carefully snap the plastic cover back into place on the main frame being careful not to move the pin, then
re-insert the screws.
Warning! Do not over-tighten the screws, as this may cause the cover to crack.
