Record the serial number and the Shimano key number 
which can be found on the label on the side of the box. Keep 
these numbers in a secure place since they might be needed 
in case somethig happens to your bike or you lose your 
Shimano key.  The serial number is the number under the bar 
code next to "Frame No:". For the Swoop, this will start with 
SWP (the barcode show here is for a Stoker). The key number 
is the number under the bar code next to "Key No:".

01 - Open the bike box

Look over the box for signs of shipping damage. If damage 
is present, please take pictures in case a shipping damage 
report needs to be filed.

Assembling the

Tools needed

3 mm Allen wrench
4 mm Allen wrench
5 mm Allen wrench
6 mm Allen wrench
Snippers / scissors for cutting zip ties
10 mm socket wrench

Cut away the yellow zip ties holding the box closed.

Please note: We show the bike being assembled in a 
bike stand but the bike can be assembled without one. 
If assembling your bike without a stand, be sure the bike 
stays upright and is not turned upside down as this can 
interfere with the function of the hydraulic brakes.
