5. Troubleshooting   

 

 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
When climbing a hill, the front wheel slips. 

 
The front wheel is too far forward of your center of gravity.  Please adjust the handcycle  so  that 
the  f ront  wheel  is  as  close  as  possible  to  the  footrest  without  interfering  w h i l e   driving 
straight  or  turning.  If  possible,  you  may  also  want  to  move  the  rear  axles  further  back. 
When climbing hills, leaning forward in your chair may be  necessary.   
 
Check  that  the  front  caster  wheels  are  at  least  5  cm/  2  inches  off  the  ground  when  the 
handcycle is installed.
