Install the boom on the main frame tube.

There is a boom shim glued inside of the main frame tube. The boom will fit very snug inside your frame.

First insert the boom clamp on the boom with the indexing tab in the channel of the boom (make sure the indexing tab is toward the

bottom bracket). Slide the boom clamp about half way up then insert the boom into the main frame. Now you can slide the boom clamp

over the main frame tube and adjust the boom to the approximate length and tighten the quick releases enough to keep it from slipping.

You can adjust it to the correct length later.

Never lubricate or wax the part of the

boom that sits inside the frame. This

can cause it to slip. Once it's

adjusted, make sure it's tightened

enough to avoid slipping under

power.

! IMPORTANT NOTE !

CAUTION: Make sure the boom clamp is tight enough, so the boom will not twist while you pedal. Just like a bicycle seat post

clamp, it is the rider responsibility to check for the boom clamp tightness. The boom clamp is designed for a high pressure clamp

action. It also included a plastic shim to be installed between the boom and the main frame for zero gap and increased clamping action.

Make sure the plastic shim is correctly placed and that the boom clamp is tight enough to avoid the boom to spin inside the frame. If for

any reason, you are unable to install or tight the boom clamp enough, please don't ride and contact your Catrike dealer or Big Cat HPV,

LLC. Failure to do so might cause the boom to twist and cause serious injury.

Install the derailleurs.

• Install the front derailleur on the derailleur post. Line up the cage with the chain rings and position the curve of the derailleur cage so

that it clears the big chainring by about 2mm (1/8”). There should be a small plastic guide taped to the cage to assist you in this.

Install the rear derailleur by bolting it in place.

Next, run the shifter cables.

• Cable guides have been provided on the boom and rear chain stay. The actual routing is not important, as long as sharp bends are

avoided. The recommended routing for the left side (front derailleur cable) is to run the cable between the seat brace and the seat mesh

(not yet installed) from behind before running it forward. Likewise, run the rear derailleur cable between the seat brace and the mesh

from the front.

•Installation of the cables at the derailleurs

is similar to the installation on the brakes.

Put a ferrule on the end of each cable

housing. Thread the cables into the

derailleurs, pull them taut, clamp them

down, trim and seal the ends. Before you

clamp the rear derailleur cable in place,

screw the barrel adjuster on the derailleur in

as far as it will go, then back it off 1 to 1-1/2

full turns. Note that there is no adjuster on

the front derailleur.
