hub or front fork.
b. The integral type is molded, cast or machined into the outer faces of the front
fork dropouts.
Ask your dealer to explain the particular secondary retention device on your trike.
WARNING: Do not remove or disable the secondary retention device.
As its name implies, it serves as a back-up for a critical adjustment.
If the wheel is not secured correctly, the secondary retention device
can reduce the risk of the wheel disengaging from the fork.
Removing or disabling the secondary retention device may also void
the warranty.
Secondary retention devices are not a substitute for correctly
securing your wheel. Failure to properly secure the wheel can
cause the wheel to wobble or disengage, which could cause you to
loose control and fall, resulting in serious injury or death.
CAUTION: If your trike is equipped with a front disk brake, be careful
not to damage the disk, caliper or brake pads when re-inserting the
disk into the caliper. Never activate a disk brake’s control lever
unless the disk is correctly inserted in the caliper.

C. Brakes
There are three general types of Trike brakes: rim brakes, which operate by squeezing
the wheel rim between two brake pads; disc brakes, which operate
by squeezing a hub-mounted disc between two brake pads; and internal hub brakes. All
three can be operated by way of a handlebar mounted lever.
WARNING:
1.Riding with improperly adjusted brakes, worn brake pads, or
wheels on which the rim wear mark is visible is dangerous and
can result in serious injury or death.
2. Applying brakes too hard or too suddenly can lock up a wheel,
which could cause you to lose control and fall. Sudden or
excessive application
of the front brake, may pitch the rider over the handlebars, which
may result in serious injury or death.
3. Some Trike brakes, such as disc brakes (fig. 11) and linear-
pull brakes (fig. 12), are extremely powerful. Take extra care in
becoming familiar with these brakes and exercise care when
using them.
4. Some Trike brakes are equipped with a brake force modulator, a
small, cylindrical device through which the brake control cable runs
and which is designed to provide a more progressive application of
braking force. A modulator makes the initial brake lever force more
gentle, progressively increasing force until full force is achieved. If
your trike is equipped with a brake force modulator, take extra care
