ASSEMBLING YOUR CX, DX & LX UNISTAR: 1. Determine the front, back, right and left of the unicycle and the wheel. Set the wheel into the bearing cradles. Place the bearing caps [A] in place and tighten the bolts to 45 inch pounds [B]. Do not over tighten [C]. Spin the wheel and check the spokes. Adjust if needed. 2. Apply a small amount of grease to the pedal threads. Thread the pedals into their cor- responding crank arms [D1] = L-pedal to L-crank. [D2] = R- pedal to R-crank. Tighten se- curely w/ a 15mm wrench. This is also a good time to check the crank arms and tighten them if necessary. 3. Slide seatclamp on top of fork [F]. Apply a thin film of grease to the seatpost and insert it into the fork [G]. Using the 5mm allen wrench, tighten the seatpost clamp so that the seatpost does not twist in the fork [H].
