BICYCLE ASSEMBLY
C

GETTING STARTED

Open the box and check that all parts are present. You can check against the
list on page 9. If any parts are missing or damaged, or if you have any trouble
with the assembly, don't return the item to the store. Call Dynacraft directly
at 1-800-551-0032 or visit our website at www.dynacraftbike.com, find your
bike, and locate the assembly video in the Information Center. (Disclaimer:
Assembly video not available for all products).
We strongly recommend reading the manual before beginning. If you aren't
comfortable with the assembly, you should bring your new ride to your local
bike shop to have a qualified mechanic put it together for you. In any event,
you need to read this entire Owner's Manual before you ride or let anyone else
ride it.
CAUTION:
As you assemble the bike, it's a good idea to place a little white
grease or anti-seize compound on the seatpost, stem and threads of the bolts to
prevent rusting.
You'll see that the frame, handlebars, front wheel, and other components
are attached with zip ties. Lift everything out in one piece, and set it down,
with the chain facing upwards. Cut the zip ties, and remove any padding or
packaging.
First, align the fork. Rotate it, to ensure it moves freely without binding (see
Figure 1), making sure the fork is pointing in the right direction, with the fork
blades facing forward (see Figure 2).
