• If you still can’t get the crank far enough away, you must remove links from the chain
and shorten the handcycle – please refer to Step 10.
• If the crank is too far away from you and you need the crank closer, you must add links to
the chain to lengthen the handcycle – please contact customer service.
10. The handcycle is shipped with two 10-link removable sections of chain already installed.
Removing one 10-link section of chain moves the crank down 1 ¾” (44 mm) and away from
you 1 ¾” (44 mm).
To remove a section:
i. Loosen the top tube clamp and lower the crank – this makes the chain slack.
ii. Find the two master-links on either side of a 10-link sections (Figure 11). Use a pair
of pliers to remove the master-link clip from one of the master-links.
iii. Now you can pop out the master-link. Remove the other master-link on the other side
of the 10-link section of chain – you can now remove the 10-link section of chain.
iv. Use one of the removed master-links to reconnect the chain. Replace the master-link
clip using pliers.
v. To shorten the handcycle more, remove the other 10-link section of chain.
vi. Go back to Step 3 on page 18. If you still feel the crank is too high, please contact
customer service for additional help.

11. Now that you have the wheel and crank correctly positioned, put a piece of tape under the
axle of the wheel to mark that position.
12. Holding the handcycle in the correct position, swing the wings up to adjust the length of the
bottom-link. You can lengthen or shorten one of the bottom-links by unscrewing or screwing
in the threaded rod from the wing. You may have to loosen the jam nut to do this (Figure
12, page 24). Do not unscrew the threaded rod beyond the red zone on the threads. M ake
sure that your handcycle is straight, centered, and still in the correct position. When you
have lined up the coupler with the ball, snap it into place. The sleeve should automatically
slide into place to cover the coupler, and you should here a click.
