miles Warrant on our Trikes.
These operating instructions contain important information. It must therefore be read carefully by every driver before driving the vehicle for the first time.
All information in this manual is based on the current information about your trike at the time of publication. Due to constant further development, even within an
ongoing production, there may be deviations between this manual and your trike. Wemake every effort to update our instructions regularly.
rewaco reserves the right to make changes in production at any time and without notice, without these changes to trikes already produced and sold.

The operational safety of the trike is a prerequisite for driving safety. Therefore, the trike must be checked before driving.
•Function of lights and turn signal system
•Cleanliness of headlights and lamps
•Adjustment of rear-view mirrors
•Fuel level
•Functionality of the brake system
•Condition of tires
Additionally at regular intervals and before longer trips:
•Tire pressure (at least every two weeks)
•Engine oil level (at least every 1000 km / 600 miles)
•Brake fluid level
8
Before starting the first ride, the driver must receive special instruction on the trike. The delivering dealer or an experienced driver must carry out the instruction.
The following points should be observed when instructing the driver:
•Familiarization with the controls of the vehicle.
•Test drive for the new driver as a passenger (if possible).
•Behavior in curves. Practice steering, as the vehicle behaves differently than a car or motorcycle.
•Be especially careful not to cut corners. Always keep the rear wheels in the lane.
•Learn the width of the vehicle. A trike is narrow in the front and wide in the rear.
•Braking behavior.
•Behavior in dangerous situations.
•Practical instructions from the driver on the vehicle.
•Take a test ride at moderate speed and out of traffic to become familiar with operation and handling characteristics under all conditions.
•Start the engine without operating the throttle grip. The engine is controlled by an engine management system.
Before you start your first trip
Break-in period
The first 1000 km / 600 miles (max. 2/3 of rated speed) During the first hours of operation and until all moving parts have achieved perfect interaction, the engine is
subject to increased internal friction. The degree of running-in achieved depends mainly on the driving style during the first 1000 km / 600 miles.
Brake break-in period
Even the brakes on a new vehicle require a break-in period during the first 100 - 200 km / 60 - 120 miles.
WARNING
Running in the brake pads leads to longer braking
distances or braking distances of the vehicle.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
Vehicles with optional anti-lock braking system (ABS)
have a different braking behavior than vehicles without
ABS!

N = Neutral position Turn the shift lever to the next position to the right. Idle, vehicle can be pushed.
D = Drive mode 1Turn the gearshift lever to the next position to the right. The "forward drive" transmission mode is designed for optimum fuel
consumption.

.
Please do not park the vehicle in the "N" gearshift lever position, as the vehicle may start to lurch after the handbrake is released. To park the vehicle, please
always put the gearshift lever in position "P". In this position, the automatic transmission is blocked, and it is not possible to move the vehicle.
Vehicles with automatic transmission must never be towed on the axle, as this will cause severe damage to the transmission. Please notify a towing service in
the event of a breakdown.
Never attempt to shift directly from "D" or "S" to "R" while driving.
Never attempt to shift directly from "R" to "D" or "S" while driving.
This can lead to the destruction of the transmission and the engine.
Engaging the gear in position "N" from position "D" or "S
Switching to travel position "N" from "D" or "S" can also be performed while driving. The shift lever can be switched to the neutral
position "N" (down from "D" or "S") without applying the brake. When the "N" position is activated, the trike can be moved/pushed.
Engaging the "P" gear from the "N", "R", "D" or "S" position
Switching to travel position "P" (from "N", "R", "D" or "S") can only be done when the vehicle is stationary. The driver can select the
desired travel position by actuating the brake.
