Lockjaw Hinge Adjustment - DAHON Bicycle Owner's Manual

The LockJaw Hinge
Adjustment
Bikes equipped with the LockJaw
hinge look just like a regular bike –
you have to get up close and look
really hard to see where the bike
folds. To ensure safe and trouble
free usage of the LockJaw hinge
and your bike, please read the fol-
lowing instructions carefully.
WARNING: If you are in
any way unsure of how to
make these adjustments
yourself, take your bike to a
qualified technician for profes-
sional adjustment.
The LockJaw hinge (one located
EN on the top tube and one on the
down tube) has three compo-
nents with each fulfilling a different
function.
• OC Bolt – opens and closes the
LockJaw hinge.
• Adjustment Nut – adjusts
the tightness of the LockJaw
mechanism.
• Pivot Bolt – the actual hinge
axle around which the two
halves of the frame rotates. The
pivot bolt can be adjusted to
tighten or loosen the hinge.

WARNING: ONLY open
the LockJaw hinge with
the OC bolt.
WARNING: As a general

not need any user adjustment.
Do NOT try to open the
LockJaw hinge with the pivot
bolt. ONLY adjust the mecha-
nism's tightness with the
mechanism adjustment nut.
