Replacement of parts
The replacement of parts relevant for safety
(especially brakes, lighting system, stem, handle-
bar, knuckles, drivetrain) should only be done
with original parts by a qualified bicycle me-
chanic, since it requires a certain degree of
skill, suitable tools and mechanical aptitude.
Any technical change you perform on your
own is at your own risk!
No alteration of parts
If you wish to have your tricycle coded the
code can be added to the gusset under the
crosstube. However, HP V
ELOTECHNIK
recom-
mends the use of code stickers.
Final assembly
Your trike has been delivered to your special-
ist dealer only partly assembled.
Your dealer has carefully finished the assembly,
perhaps altered the specification of your trike
to meet your special requirements and per-
formed a test ride. Please make sure that this
pre-delivery service is recorded in the
Warranty Pass at the end of this manual.
All screws must be checked and tightened, es-
pecially on the handlebar, stem, knuckles, and
wheels. Please follow the tightening torque
settings listed in the table on
page 43
.
Derailleurs and brakes must be checked and
adjusted. Please follow the instructions in the
manuals of the parts manufacturers that come
with this manual.

General safety instructions
Danger!
If any part is deformed (e.g. due to
an accident or overload), especially frame,
knuckles, handlebar, seat mountings, pedals,
cranks and brakes, it is not allowed to use it
any further or repair it. Do not try to
straighten bent parts.You must replace them
for your own safety. If you do not replace a
damaged part it can result in a total failure
of the part and you may be seriously in-
jured!
Caution!
You are not allowed to perform
any work on the parts of the tricycle, espe-
cially frame, knuckles, handlebar and seat,
which might endanger their solidity.
These works include drilling holes, welding,
brazing, paint methods that add heat or any
other chemical treatment. If any of these
works is done improperly it may result in a
loss of strength by direct damage or in-
creased susceptibility to corrosion.
Caution!
Screws must be tightened with
prescribed tightening torque. In this manual
tightening torques are given in "Nm“
(Newtonmeter).Always use a torque
wrench wherever a torque setting is given in
this manual. Never rely on "feeling". Screws
tightened too much or not enough can
break, which can lead to dangerous acci-
dents. In case you don't own a torque
wrench have your bicycle mechanic do the
respective work.You will find a table with
the prescribed torque settings on
page 43
in
this manual.
