Huffy 1C4880-A01 - Manual (Page 20)

WARNING: If the handlebar clamp in not tight enough, the handlebar can slip in the stem.
This can cause damage to the handlebar or stem, and can cause loss of control.
- Tighten the bolt(s) of the handlebar clamp
- If the handlebar clamp has more than one bolt, tighten the bolts equally.
5. Test the tightness of the stem:
- Straddle the front wheel between your legs
- Try to turn the front wheel by turning the handlebar
- If the handlebar and stem turn without turning the front wheel, realign the stem with the wheel
- Tighten the stem bolt(s) tighter than before (about 1/2 revolution only at a time)
- Do this test again, until the handlebar and stem do not turn without turning the front wheel.
6. Test the tightness of the handlebar clamp:
- Hold the bicycle stationary and try to move the ends of the handlebar forward or backward
- If the handlebar moves, loosen the bolt(s) of the handlebar clamp
- Put the handlebar in the correct position
- Tighten the bolt(s) of the handlebar clamp tighter than before
- If the handlebar clamp has more than one bolt, tighten the bolts equally
- Do this test again, until the handlebar does not move in the handlebar clamp.
7. Put the handlebar parts in the correct position:
- Put the brake lever and shift control in a position that is comfortable to the rider
- Make sure the brake levers do not touch the grip or the shift control during use
- If you have a grip shift control, the clamp screw for the control is in a recess on the side on the
end nearest the stem
- Make sure the brake levers do not touch the grip or the shift control during use
