height adjustment bracket (A, Figure 2-2). Tighten both screws securely. Makesure

the handlebarcross-brace (B, Figure2-3) is under the bracket.

7.Move the handlebars up or down to align the threaded hole in the cross-brace with one of the four slots in the curved height adjustment bracket. Place the keyedwasher (E, Figure 2-3) on the flange head height adjustment screw (F) with the raised keys (edges) of the washer facing down.

8.Threadthe height adjustment screw (F, Figure2-3) into the hole in the handle- bar cross-brace, making sure that the raised keys on the washer fit into the slot on the height adjustment bracket. Tighten the height adjustment screw securely. Next,securely tighten the two screws and nuts in the ends of the han- dlebar (M, Figure 2-3).
