Safety
Safety is very important to us. Products are designed in accordance
with the latest safety standards and are constantly monitored for quality. We
use informaon from this quality control to develop our products.
We urge all riders to seekthe opinion of their health-care provider(s) before
riding their tryke.
Should be used for their intended purpose only.
Safe Riding Tips
Before riding, familiarize yourself how the tryke operates —it’s steering,
braking and shigears (if applicable). Adjust the seat, handlebars and pedals to
fit the rider. Please see Fing for Rider secon in this manual for
more informaon.
Here are some ps about riding safety:
•Should be used with close adult supervision.
•Riders must wear helmets. All our trykes include a free safety-rated helmet.
The helmet must fit appropriately. A properly fing helmet sits on the head
comfortably −a helmet that sits high onthe head is too small. Some
movement is acceptable, but a helmet that moves a lot is too large. See the
illustraon below for reference:
Correct Way to Wear Helmet
Wear the helmet flat atop your head,
not lted back at an angle.
Make sure the helmet fits snugly and
doesn’t obstruct your vision. The chin
strap should fit securely and the buckle
stay fastened.

NOTE: Be careful not to pinch the
skin when fastening helmet buckle.

•Riders must wear shoes. If shoes have laces, they must be ed properly.
•Most trykes are equipped with a steering pin and have three steering opons
available:
oFull steering: No steering pin. This opon allows riders to make sharp turns
and is appropriate for riders who ride at slow speeds or in close quarters.
Close adult supervision is required.
oLimited steering: This opon allows riders to turn 20 degrees in either
direcon, thus, reducing the risk ofover-steering or pping over.
oNo steering: This opon allows for riding straight only. A supervising adult
is required to turn the tryke.
•To avoid pping the tryke over, approach wheelchair ramps orthresholds at
a 90-degree angle.
•Use cauon on sloped parking lots, driveways and sidewalks. Avoid excess
speed by having an adult restrain the tryke from behind on sloped surfaces.
The trykes have many opons for control features. Consult to find
out the best soluon for your rider.
•Many riders do not have the motor skills required to be able to use the hand
brake effecvely.
•Depending ontrunk stability, behavioral compliance and body awareness,
some riders may need supports (e.g., lateral, head), belts (e.g. lap, shoulder),
hip abductors orother specialized equipment. A physical therapist/health
professional can assist you with any recommendaons.
•Riders should only be allowedto ride trykes that arethe appropriate size. If
you are uncertain, refer to Sizing Charts in this manual or contact a
physical therapist.
•Before riding, always check that all res are inflated properly.
•If parts are broken or missing, the tryke should not be used unl repaired.
WARNING: DO NOT RIDE IN OR NEAR TRAFFIC, OR WHERE THERE IS
A RISK OF FALLING OFF CURBS, STAIRS, POTHOLES OR OTHER HAZARDS.
WARNING: NEVER ALLOW MORE THAN ONE RIDER ON.
WARNING: DO NOT RESTRAIN TRYKE BY GRABBING HANDLEBARS
OR HAND BRAKE — THIS MAY CAUSE IT TO TURN SHARPLY AND TIP
OVER.

Brakes
If your tryke has brakes (front or coaster brakes) be careful when using the
brakes. Operate the brakes gradually. If your tryke has front brakes (front
caliper brake or both front caliper brake and rear disk brake) squeeze the brake
lever(s) gradually unl you feel brake(s) working. The le brake lever operates
the front caliper brake and the right lever operates the rear brake. To stop your
tryke, use both brakes. It is advisable to start braking by operang the rear
brake slightly before the front brake.
Shift Gears
If your tryke has shi gears, use precauon when shiing gears. When shiing
gears keep pedaling but reduce pedaling pressure. Do not try to change gears
when pedals or wheels are not moving. Also, never change gears while back
pedaling and do not force the gear shier when changing gears.
WARNING: BE CAREFUL WHEN OPERATING BRAKES. SUDDEN
BRAKING MAY CAUSE TRYKE TO TIP OVER.
CAUTION: USE CAUTION WHEN SHIFTING GEARS.

2. Slide the axle through the rear frame
from the right side to the leside of
the tryke unl the axle protrudes out
of both sides.
3. Slide the wide spacer over the le axle
side.
4. Remove the axle nut from the right
side.
5. Slide the back wheels onto both sides.
Put a washer onthe axle first and then
the axle nut. Use a 22 mm socket or
