result in injury to the rider or to others.
• Obey all traffic regulations, signs, and signals.

Your Bike
• Always wear a bicycle helmet that meets CPSC safety standards, as well as local safety
standards.
• Always wear shoes.
• Ride on the correct side of the road, in a single file, and in a straight line.
• Bikes 12in (30cm) and under not intended for use on public roads.
• Avoid riding at night, dusk, dawn and any other time of poor visibility.
• Reflectors: For your own safety, do not ride the bicycle if the reflectors are incorrectly
installed, damaged, or missing. Make sure the front and rear reflectors are vertical. Do not
allow the visibility of the reflectors to be blocked by clothing or other articles. Dirty reflec-
tors do not work well. Clean the reflectors, as necessary, with soap and a damp cloth.
• Use extra caution in wet weather:
• Ride slowly on damp surfaces because the tires will slide more easily.
• Allow increased braking distance in wet weather.
• Avoid these hazards to prevent loss of control or damage to your wheels:
• Be aware of drain grates, soft road edges, gravel or sand, pot holes or ruts, wet leaves, or
uneven paving.
• Cross railroad tracks at a right angle to prevent the loss of control.
• Avoid unsafe actions while riding.

equipment.
• Make sure all fasteners are correctly tightened as written in this manual and any
“Special Instructions”. Parts that are not tight enough can be lost or operate poorly.
Over tightened parts can be damaged. Make sure any replacement fasteners are the
correct size and type.
NOTE: Have a bicycle service shop make any repairs or adjustments for which you do not
have the correct tools or if the instructions in this manual or any “Special Instructions” are
not sufficient for you.

 Tires
Maintenance:

Maintenance and Service

• Frequently check the tire inflation pressure because all tires lose air slowly over time. For
extended storage, keep the weight of the off the tires.
• Do not use unregulated air hoses to inflate the tire/tubes. An unregulated hose can sud-
denly over inflate tires and cause them to burst.
• Replace worn tires.
WARNING : Do not ride or sit on the unit if a tire is under inflated. This can dam-
age the tire, inner tube and rim.

Inflating the Tires:

• Use a hand or a foot pump to inflate the tires.
• Service station meter-regulated air hoses are also acceptable.
• The maximum inflation pressure is shown on the tire sidewall.
• If two inflation pressures are on the tire sidewall, use the higher pressure for on-road riding
and the lower pressure for off-road riding.
• The lower pressure will provide better tire traction and a more comfortable ride.

Before adding air to any tire, make sure the edge of the tire (the bead) is the same distance
from the rim, all around the rim, on both sides of the tire. If the tire does not appear to be
seated correctly, release air from the inner tube until you can push the bead of the tire into
the rim where necessary. Add air slowly and stop frequently to check the tire seating and the
pressure, until you reach the correct inflation pressure.

 Inspection of the Bearings
Maintenance and Service

MAINTENANCE
Frequently check the bearings of the bicycle. Lubricate the bearings once a year or any time
they do not pass the following tests:
HEAD TUBE BEARINGS
The fork should turn freely and smoothly at all times. With the front wheel off the ground,
you should not be able to move the fork up, down, or side-to-side in the head tube.
CRANK BEARINGS
The crank should turn freely and smoothly at all times and the front sprockets should not be
loose on the crank. You should not be able to move the pedal end of the crank from side-to-
side.
WHEEL BEARINGS
Lift each end of the bicycle off the ground and slowly spin the raised wheel by hand. The
bearings are correctly adjusted if:
• The wheel spins freely and easily.
• The weight of the spoke reflector, when you put it toward the front or rear of the bicycle,
causes the wheel to spin back and forth several times.
• There is no side-to-side movement at the wheel rim when you push it to the side with light
force.

Chain Adjustment

WARNINGS : C
• The chain must remain on the sprock-
ets. If the chain comes off the sprock-
ets, the coaster brake will not operate.
• Do not attempt chain repairs. If there
is a problem with the chain, have a B
bicycle service shop make any repairs. A

Adjustment:
The chain must be at the correct tightness. If too tight, the bicycle will be difficult to pedal.
If too loose, the chain can come off the sprockets.
When the chain C is at the correct tightness, you can rotate the crank freely and you can
pull it no more than one-half inch A away from a straightedge B as shown.
Adjust the tightness of the chain as follows:
• Loosen the axle nuts of the rear wheel.
• Move the rear wheel forward or backward as necessary.
NOTE: Make sure the rear wheel is in the center of the bicycle frame.
• Hold the wheel in this position and tighten securely.

Lubrication

Maintenance and Service

WARNING:
• Do not over lubricate. If oil gets on the wheel rims or the brake shoes, it will reduce
brake performance and a longer distance to stop the bicycle will be necessary. Injury to
the rider or to others can occur.
• The chain can throw excess oil onto the wheel rim. Wipe excess oil off the chain.
• Keep all oil off the surfaces of the pedals where your feet rest.
• Using soap and hot water, wash all oil off the wheel rims, the brake shoes, the pedals,
and the tires.
• Rinse with clean water and dry completely before you ride.
• Using a light machine oil (20W), lubricate the bicycle according to the following table:

Lubrication Table (as equipped)

What When How

Pedals every six months Put four drops of oil where the axles go into the
pedals.
Chain every six months Put one drop of oil on each roller of the chain.
Wipe all excess oil off the chain.
Derailleurs every six months Put one drop of oil on each pivot point of the
derailleurs.
Brake Levers every six months Put one drop of oil on the pivot point of each
brake lever.
Wheel Brakes every six months Put one drop of oil on the pivot point of each
cantilever brake.
Brake and cable every six months Put four drops of oil into both ends of each cable.
Allow oil to soak back along the cable wire.
Rear Sprocket every six months Lay the bicycle on its left side. Slowly turn the
Cluster rear wheel clockwise. Put four drops of oil in the
crack between the rear sprockets (which are
stationary) and the freewheel body (which is
turning clockwise).
Shock Fork every six months Lift up the rubber fork boot and dab a small
amount of grease on the fork leg just above the
plastic bushing.
