Thank you for buying a TORKER unicycle.With proper setup and care, your new Unistar will provide

years of fun and entertainment.

Please read this manual thoroughly and save it for future reference. Ifyou have any doubts about your ability to assemble or adjust your uni-cycle, please contact your local bicycle dealer for assistance.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE ASSEMBLY: Unicycles have a “front”, “back”,“left” and “right”. It is important to know this to en-sure that the saddle and pedals are installed correctly.The fork is slotted where the seat post is inserted.This slot is on the “back”. The UNISTAR decal on thetube is on the “front.”Align the saddle so that the narrow end or the handle(depending on the model) is pointed forwards. Makesure the seat post is tight in the fork, as this iscrucial in controlling and steering your unicycle.

Cranks and pedals are markedleft and right; with a “L” and “R” stamped in to them.Make sure the cranks are on the appropriate sides.The pedals can only be installed in their respective

cranks arms. Theright pedal tightensclockwise and the leftpedal tightenscounter-clockwise.The pedals must be tight in the cranks! Thishelps to prevent the pedals from looseningduring riding.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE RIDING: Always wear ahelmet when riding your unicycle. We also recommendknee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards, especially ifyou are new to unicycle riding.

Make sure all parts are tight and adjusted properly andthat the tire is inflated to the recommended pressure. NEVERride any unicycle if any parts seem loose, cracked, broken or out ofadjustment. And when riding, please avoid traffic and busy areas.

Never ride beyond your ability. Take responsibility for your actions. Youare encouraged to ask your local bicycle retailer about unicycling. Thereare also a number of unicycle-related resources available on the Internet,including clubs and instructional materials.

PARTS: Your Unicycle Boxshould include all of these parts.
