Remove the outside nut and washer on both sides of the rear axle. Do not loosen or adjust the inner nuts on the axle
(these are for tension adjustment). Align the hole in the training wheel bracket with the rear axle, position so that the
plastic piece goes over the chainstay (2-C). Secure with the nut and washer, tighten. Repeat on the other side.

Make sure to insert the stem past the “minimum insertion line” (line
embossed on the lower end of the stem)(3-B) and then adjust to the
desired height. Before tightening, align the stem and handlebar so that
they are square to the front tire (3-C).
Tighten the stem bolt firmly. To check the tightness, brace the front
wheel between your knees, then try to turn the handlebar left and right.
The stem should not move.
