5 CRANKARMS
The crank arms are fixed onto the Bottom Bracket Axle by cap
Screws, these are located under the black plastic cap on the crank
arm. Ifeither crank feels loose,tighten securely with the M6Allen key
provided. NOTE: Failure to maintainthe crank arms can result in the
crank arms and the Bottom Bracket axlebeing damaged.
6 PEDALS
Each pedal has a different thread. Forcing the wrong pedal into the
wrong crank arm will destroy the threads in the crank arm.To prevent
this error, insert the“L” marked pedal into the left crank arm and“R”
into the right.Then tighten securely with the wrench.
NOTE:Left and Right are determined from the riding position on the
tricycle. Pedal sandals if fitted should be tightened against pedals using
the brackets and nuts.The brackets fit to the underside of the pedals
and they should be securely tightened in place.
7 CHAIN(See Diagram 2)
It is recommended that a 3 in 1 or similar oil is used to lubricate the
chain. Ensure that the chain is properly tensioned,if there is more than
1/4" slack in the middle of the chain then it needs tensioned. This can
be achieved by loosen the M12 Nyloc Frame Stud Nuts and the M8
Frame Cap Screw and then pulling the mainframe and rear axle in
opposite directions and then tighten the M12 lock nut and M8 screw.
Care should be taken not to overtighten the chain as this will make
the tricycle difficult to pedal.
8 HANDLEBARS
Ensure that the handlebars and handlebar stem are securedtightly.It is
dangerous to ride a tricycle if either is not properly secured. Do not
adjust handlebars beyond the maximum mark.
9 SADDLE
Ensure the seat pillar is secured tightly.The saddle should sit squarely
on the seat pillar and should not be extended beyond the maximum
marker hole.
10 TYRES
Check tyres for proper inflation pressure as indicated on the sidewall.
If the tyre is worn or the inner tube is punctured,repairs can be made
to the rear wheels without removing the wheel from the axle. The
front wheel will need to be removed from the front fork.
11 POSITIONING SUPPORT
Ensure that all positioning supports are properly secured.All screws
should be tightened.
12 PULLEY CORD
The footsandal pulley cord is madeof nylon.Should the cord start to
wear, heat slowly with a match or candle, until the cord bonds
together. Do not overheat or the cord will melt. Regular checks
prolong the life of the cord. Ensure that it is running freely through
the pulley wheel.A siliconespray ensures a smootheroperation.
13 ADJUSTABLE STEERING STOP
Ensure that this is adjusted to suitthe riders ability.
MAINTENANCE INTERVALS
Keep all painted parts cleaned andwaxed for a long lasting lustre.

WARNING! Like any mechanical device, a tricycle and its
components are subject to wear and stress. Different materials and
mechanisms wear or fatigue at different rates and have different life
cycles. If a component's life cycle is exceeded, the component can
suddenly fail, causing serious injury. Scratches, cracks and
discolouration are signs of stress-caused fatigue and indicate that a
part is at the end of its useful life andneeds to be replaced.
