Handlepost Hinge Adjustment - DAHON Bicycle Owner's Manual

Handlepost Hinge Adjustment

The latch of the handlepost hinge on Dahon folding bikes
should be checked before each ride to make sure that it
closes tightly to secure the handlepost. A closed handlepost
hinge with a properly adjusted and secured latch should
have little to no side-to-side movement. Inspect the handle-
post periodically to ensure that it is properly adjusted.
CAUTION: Do NOT cycle with a loose handlepost
hinge.
To check if the latch needs to be adjusted, close the handle-
post hinge and then close the hinge latch. If the latch is
loose after closing or if too much force is required to close
it, then the latch needs to be adjusted.
WARNING: If you are in any way unsure of how to
make these adjustments, take your bike to a
qualified bicycle technician for professional
adjustment.
Different versions of the handlepost hinge can be found on
Dahon bikes. They look slightly different, but the adjustment
of the hinge latch is basically the same for both versions.
Please check the handlepost hinge to find out which hinge
version is used and follow the appropriate instructions for
adjusting the latch.
NOTE: For details about how to open the hinge, please
refer to the included "folding instructions".
These instructions are only for the adjustment of the hinge
itself. Regarding the adjustment of the headset, please refer
to the "headset instructions".
