Assembly; Aligning The Forks - Kogan FORTIS 700C User Manual

ASSEMBLY

Getting Started
Open the box and check that all parts are present.
We strongly recommend reading the user guide before beginning. If you aren't comfortable
with the assembly, you should bring your bike to your local bike shop to have a qualified
mechanic put it together for you. Please ensure you need to read this entire user guide
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 seat post, stem and threads of the bolts to prevent
rusting.
Step 1: Aligning the forks
• The frame, handlebars, front wheel, and other components are attached with zip ties.
Li everything out in one piece, and set it down, with the chain facing upwards.
• Remove the zip ties, and remove any padding or packaging.
• First, align the fork. Rotate it, to ensure it moves freely without binding (Figure 1), making
sure the fork is pointing in the right direction, with the fork blades facing forward
(Figure 2).
