We do not recommend disassembling Hiku completely, as Hiku has already been carefully factory calibrated.
If you wish to manually calibrate, please skip ahead to Page 9. Otherwise, see assembly instructions below.
ASSEMBLY
Handle
Use a coin to tighten the cap. Tighten the screw in a counterclockwise direction.

ASSEMBLY
Upper Body Enclosure
Insert the triple spoke plate and thread it into the upper
enclosure in a clockwise direction.
Arrange the two brass washers and the wave spring
onto the shaft so that the wave spring sits between
the washers.
Insert the top of the shaft into the bottom of the
upper enclosure and triple spoke plate.
6
Slide the inner adjustment ring onto the shaft and the enclosure assembly.
Place the outer adjustment ring on top of the enclosure assembly. Match the three clips of the outer adjustment
ring with the three notches of the inner adjustment ring so that it sits flush with the enclosure.

ASSEMBLY
Lower Body Enclosure
Insert the outer burr and the ramp ring into the lower cylinder to form the lower body enclosure.
8
ASSEMBLY
Main Enclosure
Align the lower body enclosure assembly with the shaft of the upper body enclosure assembly so that the red
indicator line is pointing at the scale markings. Using the provided hex key, tighten the three black enclosure screws
into the assembly to lock them together.
Insert the inner burr into the combined enclosures and place the black fixation plate on top. Using the provided hex
key, tighten the silver retention screw to hold the inner burr and retention plate together.

BURR ALIGNMENT
Calibration
After assembling the main enclosure, the burrsets may need further calibration to prevent excess rubbing and
misalignment during grinding.
Using the provided hex key, tighten or loosen the three black enclosure screws until the outer burr and the inner
burr are flush with each other. Tightening a screw will decrease the gap on that side and loosening a screw will
increase it. Twist the adjustment ring during calibration to lower or raise the burrs and check burr alignment.
