Step 2: Attaching the Handlebars
1. Slide the upper handlebars into position over the
lower handlebars and align the holes.
NOTE
Use the upper set of holes (in the lower handle­
bars) for the higher handlebar height position.
Use the lower set of holes for the lower handle­
bar height position.
2. From the inner side, push one of the curved head
handlebar bolts through these holes.
3. Place a handlebar lock clamp over the end of this
bolt. The curved side of the lock clamp faces in.
4. Place a lockwasher on the bolt.
5. Install a handlebar knob on the bolt.
6. Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for the other side of the
handlebars. Very securely tighten both handlebar
knobs.
NOTE
The lower handlebars are rubber mounted at
their lower end to help reduce vibration to the
operator. This may make them feel somewhat
loose, however this is normal.
