Step 3: Attaching the handle bar shaft
Attach the handle bar shaft (#12A) to
the main frame (#1), then attach the
right and left coupler bars (#4 and
#5) to the handle bar shaft (#12A)
using:
2 - “D” shape washers (#56)
2 – 3/8” spring washers (#52)
2 – hinge screws (#57)
NOTE
: If you encounter too much
friction, try using WD40 or Vaseline
as a lubricant.
Insert the left and right hinge bolts
(#12BL and #12BR) through the
pedal tubes (#6L and #6R), and tight-
en the hinge bolts on the crankshaft
(#27) with the Allen wrench. Attach
the spring washers (#51) and the lock
nuts (#48L and #48R) to the hinge
bolts (#12BL and #12BR) using the
wrench and the Allen wrench.
IMPORTANT!
The hinge bolt (#12BL & #12BR) must fully penetrate the
nylon ring inside the spring nut (#66R & #66L). This will
ensure the stability and durability of your OrbiTrek Platinum.
In order to install the hinge bolt properly, keep it perfectly
straight as the bolt goes through the pedal tubing and the
crankshaft. If the hinge bolt is connected to the crankshaft
at an angle, damage to both the hinge bolt and the crank-
shaft may occur.
