Your bicycle should arrive with the handle post latch properly
adjusted. However, the handle post latch will need periodic

adjustments yourself, take your bike to a qualified bicycle
technician for professional adjustment.
To adjust the handle post latch:
❶ Open and close the handle post latch a few times to
determine if it needs to be adjusted.
❷ To tighten the handle post latch, turn the handle post latch
bolt clockwise. To loosen the latch turn the handle post
latch bolt counter-clockwise. Adjust in 1/8 turn increments
until the latch is properly adjusted. Figure 4.2
❸ Adjust until the handle post latch.
❹ Add a drop of Loc-Tite® glue to the bolt threads to prevent
loosening. Do not add Loc-Tite® glue to the hinges.
