i. ^reparation
Remove all parts from the carton. Do not remove pro-
tective wrapping until necessary. Open the parts bag
and verify that all parts are present (refer to the illus-
trated parts list).
Check tire air pressure and inflate to 35 psi. Make
sure tires are properly seated on rims.
2. Backrest
Install backrest (40) onto front frame assembly (19)
with pivot mounting tube pointed downward and to the
rear (see figure 1). The backrest should slide onto the
frame 1 1/2" to 2" evenly on both sides. Note: This
may be a tight fit and it may be necessary to lubricate
the frame and tap the backrest with a rubber mallet.
Insert bolts (15) into backrest clamps from the outside
and loosely install washers (16) and nuts (17). Note:
On some backrest clamps it may be necessary to
squeeze with pliers before inserting screws.
3. Front and Rear Frame
Assemble front (19) and rear frame (7) sections
together (see figure 2). Note: When assembling
frames, the holes in the fender mounting tabs must be
aligned. Insert screws (20) into nylon bushings that
are preassembled into frame sections. Secure with
nylon jam nuts (23). Tighten nuts so that the frame
sections are securely held together, but not so much
to cause binding when pivoted. Tighten backrest
clamps and refer to schematics for correct placement.

Instructions
4. Front Wheel Assembly
Install front wheel assembly (28) between the frame
wheelholders, with the brake lever pointing forward
and above the left frame tube (see figure 3).
Install the front fender (39) onto the front wheel axle,
making sure the hole in the fender is to the rear of the
wheel (see figure 4). Attach the rear of the fender to
the frame using screw (1) and nut (4). Install fender
braces onto axle. Note: Either the top or bottom brace
may be installed first, but do the same for both sides.
Install washers (24) and nuts (25), and loosely
tighten.
5. Brake Strap
Attach the brake strap (36) to the frame by bending it
into a "U" shape and sliding it over the left frame tube,
from the bottom up (see figure 4). Align the brake
strap around the brake arm and insert screw (37)
from the outside through the strap and arm. If
necessary, use an awl to align all three holes. Secure
with nut (38). Do not tighten until chain is adjusted.
6. Chain
Place chain (30) around sprockets and join with con-
necting link (29) (see figure 5). Slide wheel assembly
back until chain is tight (approximately 3/4" up and
down movement is permissible). While holding wheel
assembly centered between frame tubes, gradually
tighten axle nuts alternately on each side. Tighten
brake strap screw.
Crank the pedal sprocket and check for binding or
"clicking" noise. If any is noticed, visually check the
chain and sprocket alignment. Check that the
sprockets do not rub on the frame tube and that the
front tire is centered properly. If necessary, loosen
brake strap screw and repeat steps 4 through 6.
7. Pedals
Install pedals (31) by threading the pedal marked "R"
into the right side of the crank (clockwise) and the
pedal marked "L" into the left side of the crank
(counterclockwise).

8. Chainguard
Install chainguard (34) by removing the screw (35) in the front mounting
bracket (see figure 5a). Place the rear of the chainguard between the
wheel and fender brace. Align hole in rear of chainguard mounting
bracket with the hole in the wheelholder tab. Make sure the chainguard is
on the inside of the fender braces. Insert screw (26) from the outside and
secure with nut (27). Pull chainguard forward until front chainguard
mounting bracket hole lines up with the second hole in the front of the
chainguard. Secure chainguard with screw (35). Carefully crank pedals
and adjust as needed for clearance.
9. Rear Wheels
Slide rear axle springs (14) onto rear axles (see figure 6). Slide wheels
(10) onto axles and secure with washers (12) and cotter pins (11). NOTE:
If wheel does not slide freely onto axle, lightly oil and try again. Do not
force or pound wheel onto axle; this may damage the bearings in the hub.
10. Rear Fenders
Install rear fenders (2) to fender braces (3) with screws (1) and nuts
(4)(see figure 6). Install rear fender braces (3) between fender brace
holders and insert hex head capscrew (5) from the inside and secure with
flange nut (6). Adjust fender position for clearance over tire and tighten.
Refer to schematic for correct placement.
11. All-Weather Canvas Seat
Place seat (41) on back rest, with the wide flap at top. Install flaps
around outside frame and buckle from top to bottom and side to
side (see figure 7). Sit in seat and readjust tension until
comfortable.
12. Handlegrips and Flag
Complete by installing handlegrips (18) and placing safety flag (42)
in hold

MAINTENANCE AND
INSPECTION
REGULAR MAINTENANCE: Bi-Monthly
1. Keep all painted parts cleaned and waxed for a long-lasting luster
2. Spray all chrome parts with recommended protective spray coating (LPS-1, WD-40, etc.). When
spraying with protective coatings, it is recommended that you let parts set overnight so the
coating will penetrate.
3. Lubricate the following;
• Axle shafts
• Inside bearings of both pedals
• Chain - turn pedal crank forward and spray freely
4. When storing over prolonged periods, turn upside down to prevent flat spots from occurring on the
tires. If stored outside, cover to protect finish and moving parts.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE: Every Six Months These are services that should be performed
by your local bicycle shop. A fee may be charged.
1. Check tires for wear, rim cuts and valve core alignment (usually caused by improper air pressure)
2. Check wheels for cracks and alignment.
3. Check brakes for proper operation
4. Clean and repack all bearings and adjust all cones
5. Check for worn bearings, cones and cups
6. Check chain for adjustment and clean as needed
7. Check for loose bolts and nuts.
Attention: While your unit is new, some noises may occur when the unit is breaking in.
Should they continue for more than 30 days, see your local bike shop.
INSPECTION
Check the following, as it applies to your cycle, on a regular basis:
1. Coaster Brake: Make sure the brake engages, by pedaling backwards.
2. Wheels: Check wheels for alignment.
3. Pedals: Inspect pedal bearings and make sure pedal is tightly attached to crank.
4. Handle Grips: Replace worn or loose grips.
5. Chain: Check for proper tightness. Replace damaged chain immediately.
6. Seat: Adjust seat for rider comfort and safety.
7. Tires: Keep tires inflated to the recommended tire pressure, as indicated on the tire's sidewatl.
8. Chainguard: Replace damaged or missing chainguard immediately
9. Frame: Replace damaged frame immediately.
