General safety instructions

Danger!
Additional loading can
influence the handling of your tricycle con-
siderably. If you plan on riding with heavy
luggage we advise you to make a test ride
on a street with no traffic to get used to
the new situation.
The load should be placed as close to the
body of the rider as possible, since this results
in better riding performance. You can also
improve the handling of the tricycle by posi-
tioning the centre of gravity of the luggage as
low as possible, so pack heavy items in the
bottom of your panniers.
Take care that your luggage is safely stored on
the racks. Bags must be tightly fastened to the
racks so they can not move. Make sure that
loose parts like straps or belts can not touch
the wheels, the derailleur, or the suspension.
The rear rack is designed for standard tricycle
panniers. On Scorpion tricycles with 26 inch
rear wheels, only side bags can be used.
Take care that your luggage does not cover
the lighting system and the reflectors of your
tricycle and that they stay fully functional.
Maximum load for carriers:
The maximum load on the rear rack is 25 kg
(55 lbs).
The maximum load on the lowrider rack for
Scorpion fx, Scorpion plus 20 and Scorpion
plus 26 is 25 kg (55 lbs).

Final assembly
Your tricycle has been delivered to your spe-
cialist dealer only partly assembled.
Your dealer has to have carefully finished the
assembly, perhaps altered the specification of
your tricycle to meet your special require-
ments and performed a test ride. Please make
sure that this pre-delivery service is recorded
in the Warranty Pass at the end of this man-
ual.
All screws must be checked and tightened,
especially on the handlebar, stem, knuckles,
swing arm pivot and wheels. Please follow the
tightening torque settings listed in the table on
page 88.
Derailleurs and brakes must be checked and
adjusted. Please follow the instructions in the
manuals of the parts manufacturers that come
with this manual.
