Worksman WTX WideTracker User manual

The Worksman WTX WideTracker
Made in the USA
The Worksman WTX WideTracker is a wonderfully simple, yet extremely effective vehicle. Unlike an
ordinary bicycle or tricycle, which includes a system of gears and chains to turn the wheels, the
WideTracker operates on a much more basic idea. The pedals are DIRECTLY connected to the
center of the front wheel. Not only does this mean that there are no loose, dangling components on
this vehicle, but it also means COMPLETE CONTROL! Simply turn the pedals forward in order to
move forward. Turn the pedals backward in order to move backward. If the rider stops pedaling, he or
she stops. It’s as intuitive as walking!
Who is it for?
The WTX WideTracker is fun for everyone. It’s an adult sized trike that works the same as a child’s
trike. Whether you just want to ride for fun or for therapeutic use, the WideTracker is a great choice. It
is incredibly stable due to the wide stance and wide tracking tires. It’s especially great for use in
schools, hospitals and other institutions with special needs populations. The WideTracker is also very
durable, with a 250 pound weight capacity. (Please note that the Wide Tracker is designed for
smooth, level, controlled environments, as the direct drive system is also the braking system.)

·Lycra-covered comfort extra-wide seat
·Solid disk wheelbarrow-style wheels with huge air tires
·Direct drive system for complete control
·Supports riders up to 250 pounds
·Built Worksman Tough in the USA

5. Install fork/headset into frame. (See instructions below.)
6. Install pedals on correct side of crank (marked L and R). Left side tightens counter-clockwise!
7. Insert stem into fork steerer-tube. Position stem so it is straight with head facing forward and
loosely tighten stem top bolt.
8. Install handlebar into stem, position properly and tighten clamp.
9. Once the handlebar is positioned properly, re-tighten both the stem bolt and the clamp to make
sure the handlebar and stem are secure and aligned properly.

Headset Assembly Instructions to Attach Front Fork/Wheel Assembly to Frame:
1) Grease cups (48) with Rustolene 200 or equal. Bearings (49) are pre-greased at the factory,
but it is wise to add lubrication before assembly.
2) Place one bearing (#49) onto fork steering tube w/ balls facing up. Slide fork tube into frame.
3) Place the other bearing on top of fork tube with balls facing down towards the cup (#48),
which is already pressed onto the frame.
4) Install top-adjusting cone (#52) onto treaded fork steering tube. Hand-tighten, making sure
bearings do not bind. Turn back ¼ turn.
5) Install fork key washer (#53) on top of adjusting cone with tip of washer in slot on fork tube.
6) Install head lock nut (#54) and securely tighten. Make sure that the fork rotates freely without
being loose. Excess play or resistance must be adjusted. Failure to adjust properly can lead to
improper steering response.
7) Install handlebar stem (55A) into the fork steering tube with the handlebar clamp facing
forward. The stem must be inserted far enough to reach the minimum insertion line. Tighten the
stem bolt slightly at this point. Loosen the handlebar clamp nut and slide the handlebar through the
clamp, centering the knurled center section of the handlebar into the clamp.
8) Position the handlebar to the desired angle and tighten clamp securely. Recommended torque is 300
IN. LBS. Adjust the handlebar rotation so that it is straight with the front wheel. Tighten stem bolt
securely. Recommended torque 240 IN. LBS. Be sure not to over tighten, as damage to the parts may
occur causing steering failure.
