Attach the Secondary Chain

Parts: secondary chain, frame assembly
Hardware: 2 master links
Tools: 17 mm open and box end wrench .
1 . Wrap the secondary chain around the front sprocket
on the rear hub and rear sprocket on the rear axle .
2 . Adjust the position of the rear frame until the ends of
the secondary chain meet each other, leaving one
chain link length space in between the ends .
3 . To connect the two ends of the chain:
a . Insert the post of a master link through the
hole on the end of the secondary chain link .
b . Insert the post of the other master link through
the opposite end of the secondary chain, and
on the opposite side of the chain .
c . Pull the chain so the posts are inserted into
the smaller hole of the master chain .
4 . Pull the rear frame back so the secondary chain is
taut and there is less than 5 mm of play up or down .
Important! Be sure the rear frame is perpendicular
to main frame . Failure to square the frames will affect
performance of the tricycle .
