On the right side of the cabin, remove the two screws with the plastic bases.

Important: Keep the screws, plastic bases and nuts to use with a bicycle.

Remove the screws from the parking brake assembly. From the inside of the cabin, place the screws through the holes.

On the outside of the cabin, place a curved spacer over each screw with the curved side facing the cabin. Slide the brake assembly over the screws and secure with the nuts. The brake handle should be pointing up.

Engage the parking brake by pulling the lever towards the front of the cabin.

Note: If the parking brake does not engage the wheel, the wheel mounting bracket may be on upside down.


Step 4: Install the Handlebar

Align the clamps on the handlebar with the exposed frame on the back of the cabin. Secure the handlebar by tightening the black knobs until resistance is felt.

There are two cup holder clamps included. The large cup holder clamp fits the padded area of the handlebar and the small clamp fits the unpadded area. Choose the correct clamp for the desired location of the cup holder.

Place the correct clamp in the desired location on the handlebar. Secure with the screw and nut. Adjust tightness so that the cup holder does not tilt while in use.
