2. Close the clamp carefully by inserting rod in clamp screw hole “A” and use as a lever to “roll” clamp closed until the opening “B” is about 1’8″ wide and holes “A” and “C” are in line. NOTE: AVOID RE-OPENING CLAMP ONCE CLOSED.
3. Install the pinch screw.
4. Assemble the handlebars on the machine and tighten the clamp stud nuts.
