V-Style Brakes
If not already assembled, take the brake noodle from the parts box and
slide the cable through the larger opening. The cable housing will then
seat into the end of the noodle. Slide the cable through the cable lead on
the end of the left brake boot arm; this will cause the noodle to fit into the
lead. Slip the brake cable boot over the cable and position it between both
brake arms. Next loosen the 5mm anchor bolt at the end of the right
brake arm and slide the cable under the retaining washer. Pull the slack
out of the cable making sure a distance of 39mm or more remains
between the end of the lead and the start of the anchor bolt. Once the
cable is secured to the brake arms, engage the brake lever several times,
checking the position of the brake shoes at the rim. The brake shoes
should be 1mm away from the rim when in a relaxed position. When the
brake lever is engaged, the brake shoe should hit the rim flush (never the
tire) with the front brake pad touching the rim slightly before the rear.
This is called “toeing-in” your brake shoe. If this position is not achieved,
adjustments to the brake shoe are required. Loosen the brake shoe
hardware and reposition the brake shoe. It may take several shoe and
cable adjustments before the required position is accomplished.
V-Brake
1. If fitted with V-Brakes, insert the brake body
into the center spring hole in the frame mounting
boss, and then secure the brake body to the frame
with the link fixing bolt.
2. While holding the shoe against the rim, adjust the amount
of shoe protrusion by interchanging the position of the B
washers (i.e. 6 mm and 3 mm) so that dimension A is kept at
39 mm or more.
3. While holding the shoe against the rim,
tighten the shoe fixing nut. 5. Adjust the balance with the spring tension adjustment screws.

Cable Retainer
4. Pass the inner cable through the inner cable lead. Set the
cable with the clearance of 1mm between each brake pad
and the rim, tighten the cable fixing bolt.
6. Depress the brake lever about 10 times as far as the
grip to check that everything is operating correctly and
that the shoe clearance is correct before using the
brakes.

bolt on the axle, allowing wheel to spin.
c) ** CAUTION: OVER-TIGHTENING WILL DAMAGE THE BEARINGS.
d) Put the idler wheel on the left side. First slip on the spacer, then the wheel, followed by a
washer and the locking nut. Tighten nut until it touches the bearing, do not over tighten.

4) CHAIN TENSIONER ASSEMBLY
a. No adjustment should be needed to
the chain tensioner assembly.
b. If you decide to change the position
of the front sprocket and foot crank
assembly, you will need to use the
tensioner to adjust the chain.
c. This is accomplished by loosening
the two bolts, turning the chain
tensioner to the desired position, and
re-tightening the bolts securely.

one of the holes in the seat bracket. Once you have selected the
seat height for the rider, the spring loaded knob will click into
place - then hand tighten securely. It is not necessary to remove
the seat post knob – just loosen and pull to release the pin for
adjustments.

front fork tube from the side.
b) The top position locks the
steering straight ahead. This
allows for easy transfer or if
the child needs assistance with
learning to steer properly.

steering to 20 degrees in either
direction. This is very helpful
in limiting the turning radius of
the tryke. It keeps a rider from
over steering and adds to safe
riding.
d) Install the adhesive hook strip
to the frame to keep the
steering pin secure form loss.
