Nuts to 8ft-lbs (10.8Nm). Tighten the bottom Screws and Nuts to the same 8ft-lbs.
(10.8Nm) tightness.
Attach the Upper Arms
Bring the Upper Arms toward you and twist the Threaded Rod until the Sockets
line up with the upper Pawns. You may have to loosen the Jam Nuts to do this,
using two wrenches as shown on the next page. The Arms should be of equal
length. DO NOT unscrew the Threaded Rod beyond the red zone on the threads.
- If the Upper Arm has been shortened as much as possible, yet still extends past
the pawn, then the Wheel has to be moved away from you by lengthening the
Lower Arms.
If the Sockets are not already latched in the open position, pull back on the
Socket Sleeves until you hear a click and they remain open. Press rmly over
one of the upper Pawns. The Socket Sleeve will automatically slide into place and
cover the Socket and you will hear a click. Line up the other Socket and Pawn,
and click it into place.
