STEP 4: FOOT PAD/CONNECTING ARM ASSEMBLY & REAR SHROUD INSTALLATION.
1. Align the hole of the rod end bearing - located at the end of the Connecting Arms (8&9) - with
the holes in the bracket of the Handle Bars (10&11). The rod end bearing should be aligned
inside the U shaped Handle Bar bracket. Take two 5/16" x 1-1/4" Hex Head Bolts (79) and
install them through the left and right Handle Bar brackets and rod ends. Install two 5/16" x 18
mm Flat Washers (100) and the 5/16" Nylon Nuts (91) on the 5/16" x 1-1/4" Hex Head Bolts
(104) and tighten firmly by using 12m/mWrench (109) and 13/14 m/m Wrench (106). There is a
sleeve spacer installed in the rod end bearing; make sure it does not fall out during assembly.
2. Install the plastic covers (71,71-1, 72, 72-1) over the connection of the rod end and handle bar with
the eight 3.5 x 12 mm screws (107) and eight M5 x 12 mm screws (84)
3. Rear shroud (steel cover) installation. Unpack the rear shrouds and remove the 12 screws (84)
holding the four front caps (152, 153) to the left and right shrouds (150, 151).
4. Locate and install the two middle mounting brackets (148). These two brackets install from
beneath the left and right aluminium rails and are held in place by 5/16 x 3/4 bolts (80). There are
holes located in the middle of the aluminium rails where the hole in the brackets line up and the
bolts go through.
5. Locate and install the two front mounting brackets (147). These two brackets mount from the top
and are secured by 5/16 x 3/4 bolts (80). The two bolts screw into brackets (24) that need to be
placed under the aluminium rails.
6. Install the shrouds by lifting the pedal arm and carefully sliding the shroud over the covered wheels
of the pedal arms. Lower the pedal arms until the wheels are resting on the aluminium rails again.
Position the shroud so the holes in the mounting brackets (147, 148, 149) line up with the
mounting holes in the shroud. Install and tighten the twelve M5 x 12mm screws (84) that hold the
shrouds in place.
7. Re-install the four front caps (152, 153) that were removed in step 3.
8. Install the center support brace (3) with four 5/16 x 3/4 bolts (80).
