Figure 3.3-3. Skis
Lift the right crank arm so it is in the 6 o’clock position and insert it onto the Bottom bracket square spindle
(Fig. 3.3-3a)
.
IMPORTANT
: Make sure
there is a little grease on the spindle so the crank arm slides on firmly.
Retrieve an 8 mm crank bolt, screw it into the spindle to secure the
crank arm, and tighten with the 8 mm hex wrench
(Fig. 3.3-3b)
. Attach the left lower pole in the Joint #1 clamp as done on the right side
(Fig. 3.3-
3c)
. Rotate the right crank arm to the 12 o’clock position and insert the left crank arm, in the 6 o’clock position, onto the bottom bracket spindle.
As done on the right side, insert the other 8 mm crank bolt and tighten to secure the left crank arm
(Fig. 3.3-3d)
.
Figure 3.3-4. Upper Poles
Insert the upper poles into the lower poles. The right upper pole has the twist grip shifter and brake lever.
IMPORTANT
: Make sure there is a
little grease on the pole end so it slides in easily.
The pole height lines (black or white) are used to set the approximate pole height for the
height of the user, from < 5’ to approximately 7’
(see table and Fig. 3.3-4a)
.
IMPORTANT
: A good starting pole height will position the user’s
arm to have a 90° elbow bend, with forearm parallel to the ground when standing on the platforms and holding the grips of both poles in
vertical position.
Rotate the poles so the grips are approximately shoulder width of the user
(Fig. 3.3-4b)
. With the 4 mm hex wrench, carefully
tighten the Joint #1 clamp in an X pattern
(Fig. 3.3-4c)
so that all the screws are tightened evenly and the space between the clamp base and cap
on the front side of the pole is equal to the space on the rear side. Finally, position the brake levers forward, in front of the grips, and tighten the
brake clamp with a 5 mm hex wrench. Then rotate the shifter so the gear window faces the user, and tighten the shifter clamp with a 3 mm hex
wrench. Secure the shifter and brake cables to the poles with zip ties
(Fig. 3.3-4b)
.
3.4. Rear Hub, Chain and Shifter (see video)
.
Figure 3.4-1. Chain
Lift the chain off the Bottom bracket and wrap around the right crank arm chain ring
(Fig. 3.4-1a)
. Pull the rear wheel backward to make the chain
taught, center the front of the wheel in the frame chain stays, then tighten the axel nuts using the 15 mm wrench
(Fig. 3.4-1b)
. A taught chain
should only move about
½
” if lifted at a point midway between the chain ring and hub sprocket
(Fig. 3.4-1b)
