handy hints
BRAKE BAR:
Adjusting the tightness of the bolts securing the brake bar brackets will modify the ease of
movement of the brake bar. The bolts should be adjusted evenly on both brackets using a
cross-headed screwdriver and an 8mm open-ended spanner.
FOLDING MECHANISM:
The mechanism should be lubricated at intervals to
avoid stiffness in use. Water-dispersing type spray
lubricant is suitable. Apply the spray to the moving parts
inside the mechanism. Take care not to get any of the
spray on the fabric parts of the three-wheeler. Wipe off
any excess immediately to prevent staining.

introduction
looking after inflatable tyres
Inflatable tyres offer a level of comfort and smoothness that solid tyres cannot match, but as with
car and bicycle tyres, they are susceptible to occasional punctures.
There are obvious hazards to avoid when using your three wheeler e.g. thorns, nails, broken glass
etc, but punctures can also occur if the tyres are too soft and are pinched between the rim and a
hard object.
Like most bicycle tyres, three wheeler tyres are fitted with inner tubes. If these are punctured, they
tend to deflate quickly because of their small size – the smaller they are, the quicker they will go
down when punctured.
After-sales accessories are available from cycle shops to help reduce the likelihood of punctures,
but it is advisable to carry a few basic tools to use in the event of a puncture. See the check list on
the following page.

valve type
This three wheeler uses a Schrader valve, this is the most
common type of tyre valve.
repairing a puncture
removing the tyre
Remove the wheel with the punctured tyre using any
necessary tools.
To make the tyre easier to get off the wheel, ensure all the air
is out of the inner tube. Remove any valve caps, then press
on the pin in the centre of the valve.
Squeeze the sides of the tyre together all the way around
the wheel to unseat the tyre sidewalls from the wheels rim.

Insert the ends of the tyre levers under one side of the
tyre each a few centimetres apart.
One by one pull each lever down toward the spokes
of the wheels. The tyre will be pulled above the rim
of the wheel.
Slide one of the levers all the way around the
remainder of the wheel rim to pull out the rest of the
tyre. To remove the inner tube ensure that the valve
has been pushed through the wheel rim. Pull the
inner tube clear and put it safely to one side.
Completely remove the tyre from the wheel, using
the tyre levers if necessary.

Inspect the tyre, inside and out, for the cause of the puncture.
It may help to run your fingers around the inside of the tyre
but this should be done slowly and carefully as the object
that caused the puncture may still be sticking through the
tyre.
If there are any objects in the tyre remove them. If none are
found the puncture may have been caused by the tyre being
too soft and the inner tube becoming pinched between the
rim and a hard object.
identify the cause
repair the inner tube
Partly inflate the inner tube and listen carefully for airleaks.
Immersing the partly inflated tube in a bucket of water will
help locate small holes and valve leaks.
WARNING: Rubber solution is flammable and gives off a strong vapour. It should only be used in
a well-ventilated area, away from heat sources. It may also cause skin irritation, so appropriate
protective clothing should be worn.

repair the inner tube
Once the hole has been located roughen an area of
approximately 2cm all around the hole using the grater or
sandpaper from the puncture repair kit.

Smear a thin layer of rubber solution over the roughened
area. Less is better as it gives the best patch adhesion.
Wait around 5 minutes until the rubber solution is ‘touch dry’.
Cut one patch from the strip and remove the FOIL backing only.
Press the patch firmly over the hole and onto the ‘touch dry’
rubber solution. Then rub on the backing paper firmly until
the patch is securely attached.

Grate some chalk over the patch area and rub the powder
around the patched area. This prevents the patch or rubber
solution sticking to the inside of the tyre when refitted.
repair the inner tube
Carefully peel the backing paper off the patch, without
lifting the rubber patch.
