Folding the ETX for transportation or storage
To fold down the ETX head tube and secure for transportation or storage, reverse the unfolding procedure.
Place the main frame packing foam over the forward section of the main frame (40). Use the 8 mm hex wrench to remove the left crank arm from the bottom bracket spindle (41). The crank bolt will first loosen easily as it starts to separate from the spindle and then you will feel more resistance as it pushes against the one-key release cap to remove the crank arm from the spindle (42). When the crank arm comes off the spindle, rotate the crank arm 180° (43) and install it back onto the spindle by screwing in the crank bolt but do not tighten (44). Now both strider skis and poles are parallel and can be folded neatly.
Using the 6 mm hex wrench for the black cap screw and the 5 mm hex wrench on the silver barrel nut, loosen the lower screw 1 turn and then remove the upper and middle screws in the folding joint of the head tube (45). When the second screw is ready for removal, hold the head tube above the joint, remove the screw and then lower the head tube until it rests on the packing foam that straddles the main frame (46). Remove the silver barrel nuts, combine with the screws (47), and place in a container that won’t get lost. To secure the folded ETX, we recommend placing a strap through the folded pole/ski on one side, then under the main frame and through the other folded pole/ski, then tightening the strap across the front of the joint (48). An additional strap around the folded head tube and main frame will make the folded ETX more rigid and easily placed onto a rack or into a vehicle. Unfolding the ETX is now the reverse of the folding process. IMPORTANT: When the left crank arm is returned to its riding position, make sure that the crank arm bolt is tightened to specifications as listed on page 4.
