1. INTRODUCTION
Cycling should be a pleasant activity. That is clear. Every day millions of Dutchmen mount
their bicycles with pleasure. The bicycle is more than just of mean of transport. Cycling
radiates freedom and adventure. By means of cycling we save our environment, we obtain
somewhat more of the green feeling.
But not everybody can make use of the ordinary bicycle. Huka has developed a series of
tricycles in order that everybody can enjoy all pleasant aspects of cycling. Aspects like
ergonomics, sizes, quality and styling have all played an important role in the design.
In general
Your Huka tricycle is a quality product. Every component of your Huka tricycle has been
tested and checked extensively. The finishing of the frame and the mounted components are
of high quality. There for you are assured of an excellent product a careless cycle pleasure.
When supplying your new Huka tricycle, in principle all described components are adjusted
well and / or are turned to you wishes. But no matter how modern, even a Huka tricycle is
not completely free of maintenance. There are some things that require attention from time
to time. This small manual provides instructions for maintenance that you possible can do
yourself and provides information about activities of your (Huka) dealer. To do a little
maintenance can be quite fun, because it contributes to a greater cycle pleasure.

2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
2.1 Purpose of use
The Huka-tricycle is a cycle for handicapped children and adults. The range of sizes of the
Huka-AT tricycles includes a great overlapping area of successive sizes (see figure 1). In this
way it is easier to choose a cycle with the right size for the user, which can be used for a
maximum length of time in the case of growing children.
2.2 Safety and driving behaviour
Before you take delivery of your new ready-to-drive tricycle your dealer will have checked all
components himself and, if necessary,
will have adjusted these in order that you can cycle. If it is the
first time that you are sitting on a tricycle this will be somewhat uneasy.
2
No matter how sporty your tricycle is, never get tempted into
too much enthusiastic behaviour on the roadway or riding on
and off pavements. Your tricycle can sustain visible or invisible
damage, which involves additional risks.

In order to use your tricycle safely we advise you to (let) replace
worn components like inner tubes, outer tubes, and brake block immediately. These
components are obtained from every cycle shop or from your dealer.

Figure 2: Drive of rear wheels
Both wheels are driven independently from each other by the differential. Therefore the tricycle
rides straight-ahead
(right-hand picture) and bends can be taken more easily.
2.3 Prevention of theft
A safety lock is mounted on most versions of the tricycle. If you want additional measures
against theft than and additional cable lock is convenient to anchor you tricycle rock-solid.
These locks are available in many cycle shops
2.4 Gear and driving
The tricycle is equipped with an own designed, specially made to size drive of the rear
wheels. This drive (by means of a differential) take care that the tricycle does not pull
obliquely and bends can be taken easily (see figure 2).
2.5 Accessories
A series of accessories can be supplied for the range of the Huka-tricycles. The possibilities
are listed in the overview.
Almost all accessories can be provided for each type of tricycle.
Ask your dealer if the respective accessory can also be supplied for your type of tricycle.
The accessories have colours matching the colours of the tricycle; thus the accessories and
the tricycle form a unit.

Always lock your tricycle, also when you leave it just for a short
moment.

3. COMMISSIONING
The HUKA-tricycles are designed in such a flexible manner that
the user can choose between various positions of the body on the
bike because of the adjustment possibilities of the handlebars and saddle, which varies from a
sporty to a comfortable posture.

3.1 The height of the saddle
When the saddle is in the right position you are sitting almost as comfortable as in a good chair
and effortless you pedal the
kilometres away.
There is a good rule of thumb for the correct height of the saddle.
You take a seat on the tricycle without your shoes on and with the crank pointing in the extended
direction of the seating tube.
When you have your heel on the pedal then you should just be able
to stretch your leg. Then you have during a turning pedalling movement, with the ball of your foot
(with shoe) on the pedal, the ideal working height. Start your try-out at this position, then after
some time you can adjust to you personal liking.
Figure 3: Adjusting the height of the saddle:
1) Unscrew the saddle pin bolt somewhat with an open-end or a ring spanner in order that the
saddle pin can move easily.
2) Now, pull or push the saddle to the position wanted by you. But take care that the pin stays in
the frame over a distance of at least 6 cm.
3) Now, retighten the saddle pin bolt.
The height of the saddle can be adjusted by unscrewing the saddle pin bolt a little bit and moving
the pin upwards or downwards (see figure 3).
