Finishing Up - LegUp LandinGear Generation II Installation Manual

FINISHING UP

Now it is time to reinstall everything you took off, and do final checking of everything!
Reinstall the seat making sure all your wires are routed neatly, tied off nicely and don't interfere
with the seat installation.
Once all of this is accomplished, we should get the bike on the ground, and with a helper, cycle
the wheels up and down a few times, having your helper make sure the air lines are not being
scuffed or are over tight, and that the wires are out of the way of anything that could damage
them.
Double-check all your bolts for tightness. Now we can dial in the legs, and adjust the wheels if
needed.
LEAKS!
This system uses air, and air loves to leak! The fittings we use are tested for leaks before
shipping, but we have a few simple tests to make sure you have no leaks or just insignificant
ones if any.
Set the wheels down and leave the system on. Put the kickstand down, and turn the bars all the
way left.
If the compressor makes noise more than once every two minutes, you may have a leak at the
lines that connect to the compressor or the tank fittings. Some soapy water will tell you where
(you will need to remove the compressor top to test for these leaks).
Assuming the compressor doesn't lose enough air to kick on after 2 minutes, you should be
fine.
You can turn the bike off, and wait to see if in 5 minutes the bike is not as stable as it was when
the wheels were first lowered. If it lasts the 5 minutes and is still very stable, you could still
have a leak, but not one that would be a problem on the road!
Leave the bike on its wheels overnight (again kickstand down, bars full left in case the legs lose
a lot of air; the bike will land on its stand). If in the morning, the bike is still stable you have no
leaks.
If there are leaks, the fittings on the air cylinders would be the first for the soapy water check,
with the two small line fittings on the compressor next! If you need help with these, please feel
free to call us at (407) 834-5007.
