To adjust the height of the handlebars, unlock the steering tube by pulling outward on
the quick-release lever. Slide the T-tube to the desired position and secure by pushing
inward on the quick release clamp (Figures 5 and 5a). The tension of the quick-release
clamping mechanism can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the Allen bolt. Be careful
not to over-tighten. You should always be able to open and close the quick-release lever
by hand and the T-tube should telescope freely with the quick-release open.

WARNING:
Failure to properly engage the quick-release clamp may cause the T-
tube to telescope up or down while riding which may cause you to lose control and fall.
With the quick-release properly adjusted and engaged, the handlebars will not move up or
down.

Be careful not to over-tighten this screw as it needs only be snug against the steering
