CAUTION:
Do not attempt to ride your bicycle with a
loose handlepost hinge. If when you close
the handlepost hinge and then close the
hinge latch, it appears loose or requires too
much force to close, the latch may need to
be readjusted.
WARNING:
If you are unsure of how to make
proper adjustments to your bicycle,
seek a qualified bicycle technician for
professional advice on adjustments.
Handlepost Hinge
On Dahon folding bicycles, the handle-post
hinge latch should be checked before each
ride to ensure that it closes properly for the
handle-post to remain secure. A closed
handle-post hinge with a properly adjusted
and secured latch should not have side-to-side
movement. Periodically, inspect the handle-post
to ensure that it is properly adjusted.
Several versions of handlepost can be found on
different Dahon models. With a slight difference,
the adjustment of the hinge latch is virtually the
same. Check the handlepost hinge to find out
which version is used, then proceed to follow the
appropriate instructions for adjusting the latch.
NOTE:
For details about how to open the hinge,
refer to the “folding instructions”.
These instructions are specifically for the
adjustment of the hinge. Regarding the
adjustment of the headset, refer to the
“headset instructions”.
