CAUTION:
Always tighten fasteners to the correct torque. Bolts that are too tight can stretch and warp.
Loose bolts can move and tire. Either mistake can cause sudden bolt failure, causing you to lose
control and topple.
CAUTION:
An insufficiently tightened or misaligned stem, handlebar, or tube-end extension bolt can
compromise steering action, which could cause you to lose control and fall. Put the bottom pin on
the water bike and try to turn the handlebars/stem. If you can rotate the stem relative to the lower
blade, rotate the handlebars toward the stem, or rotate the bar extensions toward the handlebars,
the bolts are not tight enough.
