INSTALLING PEDALS AND KICKSTAND:
1) Install kickstand.
2) Pedals are marked on the shaft with either an
“L”
or
“R”
denoting left or right. The
“R”
pedal fits on the right (sprocket side) of the crank arm. Tighten clockwise. The
“L”
pedal fits
on the left side of the crank arm.
Tighten counter-clockwise (left-hand thread).
Securely
tighten. Recommended torque 275 IN. LBS.
CAUTION:
Tightening in the wrong direction
will damage the crank threads and will not be covered under warranty.
SEAT ADJUSTMENTS:
Adjust the seat height to your desired level by loosening the seat clamp nut at the top of the frame’s seat tube. Re-tighten at desired height. Make sure
a minimum of 3 1/2” of the post remains in the frame tube. THE MINIMUM INSERTION LINE ETCHED IN THE SEATPOST MUST NOT BE VISIBLE.
Never adjust post above this level. Adjust angle of seat with nose raised slightly. Tighten seat clamp securely. (240 IN. LBS.)
MAINTENANCE TIPS:
Always inspect your Worksman Cycle to ensure that all nuts, bolts, screws and hardware are tight and that no parts are worn or damaged. Do not
attempt to straighten bent forks or frames.
Chain:
Lubricate chain once a month or as needed with light oil. Replace sprockets when teeth become worn,
bent or broken. Keep chain adjusted so there is no more than 3/8” slack. Note that we make the chains
tight at the factory, as we do know they will stretch during the break-in period. Lubricate crank parts
every six months. Replace pedals when the surface is worn or if axle becomes “tight” or frozen.
Drum Brake:
Some Worksman bicycles are equipped with a front drum brake. It is engaged by squeezing the hand lever on the handlebar.
To use “Park” feature, when cycle is completely stopped, squeeze hand lever and push in parking plunger button on lever. To
disengage, simply squeeze lever until parking plunger button releases. Drum brakes are pre-adjusted at the factory. Readjust
the cable tension as necessary using the adjusting barrel so that wheel spins freely and stops when brake is applied. Always
replace worn brake cables and damaged hand levers.
Coaster Brake (if applicable):
Foot activated coaster brakes are easy to use and reliable. To activate this internal brake, reverse the pedaling motion until
the brake engages. To avoid skidding and maintain control, apply care when braking. This is especially true on wet surfaces.
Apply brakes gently, gradually increasing pressure. Replace coaster brakes when they become worn. Check chain tension
regularly. Coaster brake hubs may make a vibrating noise under braking until they are broken in. For multi-speed units,
pause pedaling when shifting to help mesh gears. (Let the cycle coast.) Multi-speed hubs make a slight ticking sound.
Tires:
Always check for wear or damage. Proper level of inflation is noted on the tire. Replace worn or cut tires and leaking tubes immediately.
LIMITED WARRANTY:
This cycle is warrantied against faulty parts under the following conditions: this warranty does not cover any failure due to accident, abuse,
misuse, neglect, normal wear and tear, or improper assembly. The entire frame, including all welded joints, is warranted to be free from defects and material for one year
while in possession of the original purchaser. All other parts on this cycle, except tires and tubes, are warrantied for 90 days from the date of purchase. Repair and
replacement of these parts is to be according to the worksman cycles parts and service procedures and must be handled directly through the source where the cycle was

any). Unauthorized repairs or replacement automatically voids warranty. Proper maintenance is required for warranty to be valid. In the event that it was determined that the
warranty claim is the result of misuse, abuse, improper maintenance, or simply not defective or beyond the warranty period, Worksman Cycles or the dealer will advise you as
to the cost of repair, replacement or labor prior to performing any work or replacing any parts. If you choose not to have the dealer or worksman cycles perform the work, the
parts will be returned to you at your expense or discarded if no reply is received within 2 weeks of notification. The sole responsibility of the manufacturer to the terms of this
warranty, if any, shall be the repair and/or replacement of the parts as indicated above. The liability of the manufacturer shall in no event exceed the original purchase price of

maintaining records of serial numbers. Void where prohibited by state law.
RULES FOR SAFE RIDING AND RESPONSIBLE OPERATION:
Worksman Cycles strongly advises that our cycles be assembled by A QUALIFIED MECHANIC.
IF YOU ASSEMBLE YOUR WORKSMAN CYCLE YOURSELF YOU ARE PUTTING YOURSELF FORWARD AS A QUALIFIED MECHANIC. A qualified mechanic can assist
to make sure that your cycle is assembled to all customary procedures and to make sure that it will be operating correctly. They will check proper operation of all moving parts,
goodness of fit of those parts, and make sure that all nuts and bolts are properly torqued so they are not too tight or loose, come apart, or strip and become a potential danger.
Even components that come preassembled at the factory should be rechecked. WORKSMAN ADVISES THAT RIDING A BICYCLE CAN POTENTIALLY BE HAZARDOUS
TO YOUR HEALTH. NOT FOLLOWING GENERALLY ACCEPTED RULES OF THE ROAD, OR IMPROPER ASSEMBLY OF YOUR CYCLE, MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR
DEATH. WEAR A HELMET AT ALL TIMES. KNOW THE CYCLING RULES OF THE ROAD AS DIRECTED BY LOCAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS. Have your cycle
periodically maintained. Check all moving parts each time you ride. You have certain specific rights as a purchaser of this cycle. However, if you do the assembly yourself you
may take on your shoulders certain responsibilities. This information is provided as a service of your rights and responsibilities as an owner. NOTE: THIS INFORMATION IS
PROVIDED AS IT APPLIES NOT ONLY TO WORKSMAN CYCLES BUT TO CYCLES PROVIDED BY OTHER CYCLE MANUFACTURERS AS WELL.
