Fit Adjustment
1. Adjusting Seat and Boom
1. The goal is for your seat (and therefore your weight) to be as far back as possible when your set up is complete.
2. Loosen and slide the #10 Seat Frame Assembly rearward on the Main Frame until in a comfortable seating position. Adjust the seat
angle by removing and reinstalling the #27 Strut Pins into a new position on the Seat Struts if necessary. See Figure Q.
3. Loosen the Crank Boom Clamp Bolts and position the boom so that when seated, your knee should be just slightly bent when the forward
foot is in the farthest position. See Figure R.
4. Re-tighten the Crank Boom Clamp Bolts to the specified torque setting.
5. If you cannot extend your leg forward enough, you can then move the seat forward to get the proper fit.
Note: Your chain may need to be lengthened or shortened depending on your final seat and boom position.
Seat struts can be trimmed and re-drilled as necessary to provide a perfect fit.

CAUTION: Never lubricate or wax the part of the boom that goes into the frame. See Figure S.
2. Adjusting Handlebar and Stem
1. Stem height can be adjusted to provide desired toe clearance during pedal stroke.
NOTE: DO NOT extend stem past its marked safety line.
2. Handlebar can be rotated up or down for desired comfort. To prevent numbness of the hands or fingers be sure to keep your hand position
just below the level of your heart while seated.
3. Once handlebar position is set you can now adjust the controls for comfort.
WARNING: Make sure once you have made all your handlebar, stem and control adjustments that you do not have any leg or knee interference with the
handlebar or stem. Failure to do so may result in loss of control resulting in a serious or fatal accident.
