2. Training Wheel
   Attach the legs to the bicycle frame: Put the alignment insert (1), a leg (2) and an axle nut (3) on each end of the rear wheel axle ( 4). Make sure the tab of the alignment insert (5), is to the rear of the axle and in the slot (6) of the frame. Make sure both training wheels are the same distance from the ground. Tighten the axle nuts securely.
   WARNING : Before each ride, make sure both nuts are tight. Also make sure both training wheels are the same distance from the ground.
   As your child’s ability and balance improve, you may raise or remove the training wheels. To move the training wheels loosen the nut, slide the leg to the correct position, and retighten the nut. To remove the training wheels, remove the nut, leg, and alignment insert.

Install Pedals

All pedals have L or R stamped on the threaded spindle of each pedal.

1. Thread the pedal marked R clockwise into the right or chain wheel side of the crank
2. Thread the pedal marked L counter-clockwise into the left side of the crank arm.
   NOTE: Hand thread pedals into position without use of a wrench to ensure threads are not crossed threads. Damage to crank arm will result from crossed threads. When tightening with a wrench, make sure each spindle is firmly seated against the crank arm. If Jaws of wrench are too thick, they may prevent proper tightening of pedal spindle against crank arm.

Repair and Service

WARNING : Inspect the bicycle frequently. Failure to inspect the bicycle and to make repairs or adjustments, as necessary can result in injury to the rider or to others. Make sure all parts are correctly assembled and adjusted as written in this manual and any Special Instructions.

Rear Wheel and chain Adjustment
Maintenance : The chain must be at the correct tightness. If too tight, the bicycle will be difficult to pedal. If IDO loose, the chain c.an come off the sprockets.

WARNING : The chain must remain on Ifie sprockets. If stain comes off die sprodam, die coaster brake will not operate.
When the chain (1) is at the correct tightness, you c.an pull it one-half Inch (2) away from a straightedge (3) as shown. Adjust the tightness of the chain as follows: Loosen the axle nuts ( 4) of the rear wheel. Loosen the clamp (5) on the brake arm(6),but do not remove the mt and saew from the clamp.
NOTE : Make sure that rear wheel is in the center of die bicycle frame.

Move the rear wheel forward or backward as necessary, until you c.an pull the chain on half inch away fonn a straightedge, Hold the wheel in the position and tighten the axle nuts to the recommended torque of 25-28N.M.

TYRE REMOVAL

1. Let the air out of the tyre by depressing the valve core (the little pin in the centre of the valve stem opening).
2. Separate the tyre bead from the sides of the rim by pressing with your thumbs. Work your way around the tyre on both sides to be sure that the beads of the tyre are not sticking to the rim. (Figure A)
3. Stand he wheel up on the firm surface with the valve stem on the bottom and grasp the upper part of the tyre with both hands. Try to roll the tyre off the far side of the rim.
4. With the wheel standing as in Figure B, use bicycle tyre tools for spoon handles with rounded ends (at least two-preferably three) to lift the bead on one side of the tyre off the rim. Be careful not to pinch the inner tube between the tyre tools and the tyre bead or rim. Once you have got the bead off for about one fourth of the circumference of the tyre using the tools, the rest can usually be pulled off by hand.
5. With the bead on one side of the tyre completely off the rim, you can now pull the inner tube out from between the tyre and rim everywhere except in they are of the valve stem.
6. It should now be easy to pull the tyre the rest of the way off the rim. Start at the side of the wheel opposite the valve stem and simply lift the bead of the tyre up over the side of the rim and pull it off.

Frequently check the tyre inflation pressure because all tyres lose air slowly over time. For extended storage,keep the weigh of the biycle off the tyres.

Inflation : maintain tyre pressure at the lever recommended on the tyre sidewalls.
Conversion from PSI to kilopascals is listed blow: 40PSI=275Kpa 3SPSI=241 Kpa

WARNING : Do not ride or sit on the bicycle if either inner tube is under inflated. This can damage the tyre and inner tube. Do not use unregulated air hoses to inflate the inner tubes. An unregulated hose can suddenly over inflate bicycletyres and cause them to burst. Use a hand or a foot pump to inflate the inner tubes. Service station meter-regulated air hoses are also acceptable. The correct inflation pressure is shown on the tyre sidewall.

Before adding air to any tyre, make sure the edges of the tyre (the bead) is the same distance from the rim, all around the rim, on both sides of the tyre. If the tyre does not appear to be seated correctly, release air from the inner tube until you can push the bead of the tyre into the rim where necessary, add air slowly and stop frequently to check the tyre sealing and the pressure, until you reach the correct inflation pressure as indicated on the tyre sidewall.Replace worn or defective tyres and inner tubes.

Inspection of Bearings

Maintenance : Frequently check the bearings of the bicycle. Have a bicycle service shop 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 bearing: 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 then you push it to the side with light force.

Lubrication/Maintenance

WARNING : Do not over lubricate. If oil gets on the wheel rims or the brake shoes, it will to 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 tyres. Rinse with clean water and dry completely before you ride the bicycle.
