ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE WORKSMAN TRI-TANDEM™TRICYCLE (rev. Aug 2014):
Please read this manual carefully prior to performing the finishing assembly and prior to riding. We recommend that a qualified
bicycle mechanic assemble this cycle. Carefully remove the tricycle components from the carton, and follow the instructions in the
order presented. Keep in mind that the “left”or “right”side of the cycle is when viewed from the rear.
TOOLS REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY
Socket Set Flat-head Screwdriver Phillips-head Screwdriver
Allen Wrench Set Adjustable Wrench Pliers
You will notice the tandem tricycle is mostly pre-assembled at the factory. Some finishing assembly is required. The front
wheel and fork assembly is pre-assembled at the factory.
1) FRONT ASSEMBLY (See illustrations)
Bearing cups have been pressed into the headtube at the factory.
1. Grease bearing cups (#48) with Rustolene 200 or equivalent lubricant. Bearings are pre-greased.
2. Place one bearing (#49) onto the fork steerer tube, balls facing up.
3. Slide the steerer tube through the headtube from the bottom.
4. Place the other bearing (#49) onto the steerer tube, balls facing down.
5. Install the top-adjusting cone (#52) onto the steerer tube. Hand-tighten until just before the bearings bind, then turn
back a quarter-turn.
6. Slide the key washer (#53) onto the steerer tube, then the reflector bracket (#5031).
7. Install the head lock nut (#54) and securely tighten, again making sure the bearings do not bind. The fork should
rotate freely without excess play.
8. Install the handlebar stem (#55A) into the steerer tube, withthe handlebar clamp facing forward.Itmust be inserted
beyond the minimum insertion line. Loosen the handlebar clamp nut. Insert and center the handlebar into the
clamp.
9. Rotate the handlebar within the clamp to the desired angle, then tighten the clamp. Pivot the handlebar about the
steerer fork until it is perpendicular to the front wheel, then tighten the stem bolt. Recommended torques are 300
in.lbs. and 240 in.lbs., respectively.
10. Attach brake hand lever (and shift lever for three-speed models) onto the handlebar. Cables should not be tangled.
Slide handlebar grips completely onto the handbar until tight. Do not use lubricants.
2) PEDAL ASSEMBLY (See illustrations)
Pedals are marked on the shaft with either an Lor Rdenoting left or right. The Rpedal fits on the right (sprocket) side
of the crank arm. Tighten clockwise. The Lpedal fits on the left side of the crank arm and is reverse-threaded. Tighten
counter-clockwise. Tightening in the wrong direction will strip the threads. Recommended torque for the pedals is
275 in.lbs.

3) REAR STEM ASSEMBLY (See illustrations)
1. Slide rear stem over front seatpost.
2. Adjust stem to desired height and tighten hex bolts.
3. Slide rear handlebar through stem.
4. Center handlebar in stem, set to desired angle, and tighten stem bolt.
5. Install handlebar grips, as instructed for front handlebar.
SEAT ADJUSTMENTS
Although the seats are already installed at the factory, adjust the heights to your desired levels by loosening the seat
clamp nut at the top of the frame’s seat tube. Re-tighten at desired height. Make sure a minimum of 3 1/2”of the
post remains in the frame tube. Never adjust post above this level. Adjust angle of seat with nose raised slightly.
Tighten seat clamp securely. Recommended torque for the seat clamps nuts is 240 in.lbs.

MAINTENANCE TIPS
Always inspect your Worksman Cycle to ensure that all nuts, bolts, screws and hardware are tight and that no parts are worn or damaged. Do not
attempt to straighten bent forks or frames.
Chain:
Lubricate chain once a month or as needed with light oil. Replace sprockets when teeth become worn,
bent or broken. Keep chain adjusted so there is no more than 3/8”slack. Note that we make the chains
tight at the factory, as we do know they will stretch during the break-in period. Lubricate crank parts
every six months. Replace pedals when the surface is worn or if axle becomes “tight”or frozen.
Drum Brake:
Some Worksman bicycles are equipped with a front drum brake. It is engaged by squeezing the hand lever on the handlebar.
To use “Park”feature, when cycle is completely stopped, squeeze hand lever and push in parking plunger button on lever. To
disengage, simply squeeze lever until parking plunger button releases. Drum brakes are pre-adjusted at the factory. Readjust
the cable tension as necessary using the adjusting barrel so that wheel spins freely and stops when brake is applied. Always
replace worn brake cables and damaged hand levers.
Coaster Brake (if applicable):
Foot activated coaster brakes are easy to use and reliable. To activate this internal brake, reverse the pedaling motion until
the brake engages. To avoid skidding and maintain control, apply care when braking. This is especially true on wet surfaces.
Apply brakes gently, gradually increasing pressure. Replace coaster brakes when they become worn. Check chain tension
regularly. Coaster brake hubs may make a vibrating noise under braking until they are broken in. For multi-speed units, pause
pedaling when shifting to help mesh gears. (Let the cycle coast.) Multi-speed hubs make a slight ticking sound.
Tires:
Always check for wear or damage. See tire sidewall for proper level of inflation. Replace worn or cut tires and leaking tubes immediately.
Tri Tandems should only be ridden in safe environments, away from traffic areas as these are long vehicles requiring a longer turning radius than many
other bicycles and tricycles. Tri-Tandems will pull slightly to one side when pedaled, which is perfectly normal and easy to compensate for when
steering. Always have the captain in front position and smaller or less able riders on rear. When going down inclines, always engage the front drum
brake to control speed. Turns should be subtle, not sharp.
LIMITED WARRANTY:
This cycle is warrantied against faulty parts under the following conditions: this warranty does not cover any failure due to accident, abuse, misuse, neglect
or as the result of normal wear and tear, or improper assembly. The entire frame, including all welded joints, is warranted to be free from defects and

claim is the result of misuse, abuse, improper maintenance or simply not defective or beyond the warranty period, Worksman Cycles or the dealer will
