Opened lever

Closed lever

Steering (Adjustments and Operations)

All steering should be adjusted to individual needs.

On the following pages we have provided some

quick reference guides to help you with your steering

requirements.

SELF-CENTERING

SPRING

Periodically check the

self-centering spring to

ensure proper tension.

It is located on the

bottom of the bike

frame and connects

to the fork on the

front wheel. If the bike

is not moving in a

straight direction then

the spring should be

replaced.

HAND DRIVE STEERING COLUMN POSITIONING

Easy adjustments (F) can be made on Expedition

Series Handcycles to determine the ideal hand pedal

positioning and to allow for ease of transferring on and

o the bike.

RIDING

The ideal position for the hand pedals is mostly a

personal choice. We recommend having the hand

pedals moved in towards the rider until there is a slight

bend at the elbow (G) when they are grasping the hand

pedal at its furthest position, away

from the chest.

This is based on using a starting

point where the knees and hips

are in a horizontal plane (H) with

the seat of the bike in the lowest

possible position.

TRANSFERRING

For easier transfers on and o the

bike, the crank bracket should be

positioned as far away from the seat

as possible (I).

HAND DRIVE STEERING

ADJUSTMENT RELEASE

To swing hand pedals towards

or away from the seat, do the

following:

1. Hold the top steering column (J)

2. Open quick release lever (K)

3. Position top steering column to

desired position and close quick

release lever.

*For a better understanding on how

to work the quick release lever

see page 9.

STEERING (ADJUSTMENTS AND OPERATIONS)

Quick Release

Lever Adjustments

From time-to-time you

may need to adjust the

tension on your quick

release levers.

1. Open lever (G), and

rotate lever handle (H)

clockwise to tighten,

or in the opposite

direction to loosen

tension, while holding

nut with other hand.

2. Once set, close the

lever to lock in place.

If lever handle cannot

close, loosen tension

by opening the handle

and turning counter-

clockwise to desired

setting.

HANDLEBAR/GRIP ADJUSTMENTS

1. To adjust handlebars in or out, loosen 6mm

socket head wedge bolt (A), approximately 4-5

full turns.

2. Tap bolt (A) lightly with a hammer to unlock

wedge nut (A1) from within handlebar shaft.

3. Turn handlebar shaft (B) to desired position

and tighten wedge bolt (A) until snug.

4. To adjust the grip, loosen 6mm socket head

clamp bolt (C) and raise or lower the handlebar

grip (D) to desired height.

5. Retighten clamp bolt (C).

STEERING (ADJUSTMENTS AND OPERATIONS)

“U” BAR FRAME ADJUSTMENT*

Loosen quick release lever (F) to the unlock position

for adjustment of the “U” bar frame. Move forward or

backward to desired position. This is an excellent way

to move handlebar assembly out of the way when

transferring riders.

*Please note: In cases of extreme high tone the

quick release lever may need to be replaced with the

standard bolt and nut. Part # bolt: 4110440 Part # nut:
