Lockjaw Hinge Adjustment - DAHON bike Service Manual

LockJaw Hinge Adjustment

Bikes equipped with the LockJaw hinge look like
your average bike. In order to see the LockJaw,
pinpoint where the bike folds. Read the following
directions carefully to ensure safety when
using the LockJaw hinge with your bike.
WARNING:
If you are unsure of how to make
proper adjustments to your bicycle,
seek a qualified bicycle technician for
professional advice on adjustments.
The Lockjaw hinge (located on the top tube and
on the down tube) has three components, each
fulfilling a different function.
OC Bolt – Allows the LockJaw hinge to open and
close. It is secured by a special Safety Screw
(Version B only).
Adjustment Bolt – Adjusts the tension of the
LockJaw mechanism.
Pivot Bolt – Is the actual hinge axle where the two
halves rotate on the frame. The pivot bolt can be
adjusted to tighten or loosen the hinge.
WARNING:
The LockJaw hinge can ONLY be opened
with the OC bolt.
WARNING:
As a general rule, the pivot bolt will not need
any adjustment. Do NOT try to open the
LockJaw hinge with the pivot bolt. ONLY open
the Lockjaw hinge with the OC bolt and only
adjust the tension with the adjustment bolt.
Tools Needed: • 6 mm Allen key
• 2.5 mm Allen key
