Shifter Adjustment - Dynacraft MOUNTAIN BIKE Owner's Manual

SHIFTER ADJUSTMENT

X D
WARNING:
Do not ride a bicycle that is not shifting properly.
Overlooking proper adjustments may cause irreparable damage to the
bicycle and/or bodily injury. Never move the shifter while pedaling
backward, nor pedal backwards after having moved the shifter. This
could jam the chain and cause serious damage to the bicycle and/or rider.

NOTE:
If you don't have a bicycle repair stand, it helps to have
someone assist you with the adjustment.
There are three types of shifters that may be on your bicycle.
There is a Shifter/Brake Lever Combo (see Figure 69), a Standard
Shifter (see Figure 70), and a Grip Shifter (See Figure 71). For the
Combo and the Standard Shifter, use your thumbs to shift up,
and your index fingers to shift down with the appropriate levers.
On a Grip Shifter, rotate the shifter on the handlebars in the
appropriate direction to shift up or down.
