Stem Adjustment - Dynacraft MOUNTAIN BIKE Owner's Manual

STEM ADJUSTMENT

X D
To raise or lower your stem, use an adjustable wrench
or Allen wrench on the stem bolt to loosen the stem
(see Figure 56). Do not remove this bolt completely,
as the stem wedge may fall inside your frame. Make
sure the stem is inserted enough so that the minimum
insertion marks on your stem are completely covered
(see Figure 57).
WARNING:
To prevent steering system damage
and possible loss of control, the stem and handlebars must be
properly adjusted and tightened. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN (see
Page 23, Figure 27).
WARNING:
To prevent steering system damage
and possible loss of control, the stem must be inserted
enough so that the minimum insertion marks are completely
covered.
WARNING:
Do not over tighten the stem bolt. Over
tightening the stem bolt can damage the steering system and
cause a loss of control. If necessary re-adjust the handlebar
and tighten the handlebar clamp nut.
WARNING:
Threadless stem systems cannot be
raised or lowered without removing components and
re-adjusting. They should not be adjusted or loosened by
anyone other than an experienced bicycle shop mechanic
(see Figure 58).
