Page 14: Assembly: Install Front Wheel, Disc Brake
Assembling the Haul-a-Day Elite Disc Brakes When inserting the front wheel into the fork, ensure the disc rotor (on wheel) fits nicely into the slot on the caliper (installed on fork). You will want to avoid the rotor getting hung up or caught on some part of the caliper as you are installing the wheel into the fork to prevent rotor damage. - Page 15 Assembling the Haul-a-Day Elite Note if you have e-assist: For a front hub motor there will not be a quick release. You will need a wrench to tighten the bolts when install- ing your front wheel. Your hub motor will need either a 15mm or 17mm wrench depending on the size of the hub nuts.

For reference you can use an existing comfortable bike or you can try out the three settings and see which one works best for you. - Page 21 Adjusting: Handlebars Adjusting Handlebar Height. Loosen the upper stem riser bolt, adjust the height as needed and re-tighten. Remember to tighten bolt when done. DO NOT LOOSEN THE LOCKING HEADSET SPACER BOLT.
