PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE RIDING YOUR SUN TRIKE

This manual is intended to be read carefully so that you may enjoy your new

three-wheeler and be an informed rider aware of the benefits as well as the warnings

and safety issues in riding this trike.

A trike is not a bicycle and this manual contains specific information and warnings

that will let you enjoy your Sun Trike in comfort and safety.

Tricycling is a sport and a mode of transportation, with it comes the risk of an accident

that could result in injury and even death. By riding this trike you personally assume

that risk.

We want to give you as much information as possible to make you a safer rider. We

cannot cover all contingencies but we can make you more aware and informed. Be

aware that:

•

Always ride defensively and watch out for the unexpected. This means everything from

cars to kids, pets and rough or hazardous road surfaces. Be prepared to avoid danger

and ALWAYS WEAR A BICYCLE HELMET. We recommend buying your helmet from a

local dealer that can fit and instruct you on the correct way to wear this helmet. Pro-

tecting your head is your primary safety responsibility.

Always wear a CPSC, ANZI, ASTMS, or SNELL approved bicycle helmet. CPSC

approval is the new U.S. Federal Standard to which all helmets must comply.

Municipal bicycle regulations also apply to tricycles. Most states and

municipalities have bike regulations. It’s up to you to research those

regulations and become informed. Your local dealer will be able to help you

with this information. Since you will be sharing the road at times with other

vehicles, a good rule to follow is “If you can’t do it with a bicycle, don’t do it

with a trike.”

A trike’s widest point is behind you at the rear wheels. If the front goes by an

obstacle there is no guarantee that the rear wheels will also clear. When

riding, you must give clearance to the edge of the road or sidewalk. Give extra

room when passing near pedestrians and obstacles. Stay clear of potholes

and be aware that you can lose control if any wheels should drop into a hole or

catch an immobile object.

PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST

1. Check your tires for proper air pressure. Keep tire pressure between the minimum

and maximum air pressure rating printed on the tire sidewall. Do not inflate over the

maximum air pressure rating on the tire sidewall.

2. Test your front brake and make sure it stops the trike. If you have any doubts do

not ride and see your dealer. All trikes are equipped with a front brake as standard

equipment and primary stopping system. This also applies to a trike that may have

an optional rear brake. Under no circumstance should the front brake be removed.

3. Check that the handlebar is tight and that the ends are plugged. Check the saddle

for tightness.

4. Move the trike forward and back. If you hear or feel any resistance, do not ride.

If you feel that something is not right after performing your check. DO NOT RIDE.

Take your trike to your local dealer for inspection.

PRECAUTIONS

A trike does not handle like a bicycle. You cannot lean into a turn. Turns must be

made more carefully and at a lower speed than a bicycle.

All wheels must be on the ground at all times. Do not make sudden changes of

direction that could unbalance the trike and cause an accident.

When beginning to ride, stay at a slow speed. You must acclimate yourself to

handling and turning this three wheeler. If you feel insecure, slow down and proceed

at a slower pace. With practice, you will become comfortable riding and stopping.

We recommend that you not ride at night, or at times of reduced visibility.

If you must ride at night or during reduced visibility, you must outfit your trike with a

white front light and red rear light. Relying on reflectors is not adequate protection.

Most municipalities require lights for night riding. Your local bicycle dealer can help

you in selecting the correct lighting system for your needs.

The rear basket is only intended for light storage. It is not intended to support or

protect a passenger. NEVER PUT A CHILD OR PET IN THE BASKET! The turning

wheels and/or other moving parts could lead to injury or death. There is also the risk

of the passenger falling out of the basket. The trike is made for one person only and

the basket is not built to hold a passenger.

DO NOT CARRY PASSENGERS.

WEIGHT CAPACITY IS 250 LBS. THIS TRIKE IS BUILT FOR MANUAL USE.
