Maintenance (See Drawing #2):
Before every ride, it is important that you inspect the frame pivots and links for
any looseness or play.
1) If there is play, make sure that the pivot bolts are tightened to the
appropriate torque value (see below).
2) If the pivot bolt is not tightened to the apporpriate torque value, unthread the
bolt enough to expose the receiving threads on frameset or linkage.
3) Put one drop of blue Loctite
TM
on the exposed receiving threads.
4) Tighten the bolt to the appropriate torque value.
5) Wipe off excess blue Loctite
TM
on the back of the threads.
6) If there is still play in the pivot or linkage, please see your Authorized Giant
Dealer to have your bike inspected for any needed repairs.
