Unscrew the cap nut on the front wheel spindle assembly. Remove the washer and spring.

Thread the spindle through the front wheel. Make sure the springs sit outside the gooseneck. Tighten the cap nut.

Close the cam lever. Some resistance will be felt.

Note: If the lever will not close, loosen the cap nut a half turn at a time until the lever closes.

Step 3: Install the Parking Brake

diagram

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.

diagram

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

diagram

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.

diagram

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

diagram

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.

diagram

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.

diagram

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.
