Adjustments; Adjust Saddle Front/Back Position And Tilt-Angle - Helio Electric Cycle Owner's Manual

15. Place the aluminum cap (found in
the parts box) onto the top of the
handlebar stem, and thread the
headset retaining bolt through
the cap into the top of the fork
tube.
16. Tighten the headset retaining bolt
with 5mm allen key until the
black rubber compression ring
(below the 15cm tube) begins to
be compressed, and then tighten
the bolt one additional revolution.
17. Align the handlebars with the front wheel and tighten the two stem clamp bolts
on the side of the stem with 5mm hex wrench. (Be sure these two bolts are
tight – or you may not be able to steer).
18. Connect the headlight wire located behind the headlight
19. Connect the speedometer wires.

Adjustments

20. If the steering feels too stiff, the headset retaining bolt is too tight. Loosen the
two stem clamp bolts, then loosen the headset retaining bolt ¼ turn
counterclockwise, and retighten the two stem clamp bolts. Repeat as
necessary.
21. Make sure the fork assembly is not loose. Firmly squeeze the right hand brake
lever and rock the Cycle forwards and backwards. If there is play in the
headset (a knocking feeling) tighten the headset retaining bolt: loosen the two
stem clamp bolts, tighten headset retaining bolt and tighten the two stem
clamp bolts. Repeat as necessary.
22. Insert and adjust the saddle. To adjust the saddle height, open the quick-
release clamp lever on the seat tube of the chassis. Adjust the saddle to
desired height and close the quick-release lever. To tighten the clamp, open
the lever, tighten the knurled knob opposite the lever and close the lever
again.
23. The seat post has a minimum insertion mark on it. Under no circumstances
should the seat post be extended beyond its minimum insertion mark. If you
can see this mark, the seat post is extended too far out of the seat tube. If you
ride your Helio Cycle with the seat post sticking out too far, the seat tube
and/or the seat post could bend or break. This could cause all sorts of severe
injuries.
24. Install small "S"-shaped plastic cable retainers to keep cables in front of the
chassis head tube.
25. Insert the large round rubber cover over the input plug on the dash and the
small round rubber cover over the headset-retaining bolt.

Adjust saddle front/back position and tilt-angle.

Your Helio Cycle was shipped to you with the saddle positioned in the middle of the
saddle rails and the saddle tilt-angle set horizontally. This will be satisfactory for most
people. However, some people will prefer the saddle a little closer to the handlebars,
