When folded the frame must be protected
against unwanted unfolding.To do so the vel-
cro strap attached to the seat tube must be
stripped away and attached to the cross tube
where its counterpart is positioned.
Taking off the front wheels
To achieve an even smaller package, you can
take off the front wheels (see
page 58
). It is al-
so possible to remove the mudguards in addi-
tion (see
page 56
).
Unfolding
To unfold and reassemble your trike, please
follow the steps above in the opposite order.
Make sure that after unfolding the quick
release lever rests on the front frame part.
Else the snap-in mechanism will not work pro-
perly.
Lift the folding hinge until the securing tab
snaps in noticeably. Some momentum will be
helpful. Now close the quick release lever until
it touches the rear frame part.
Mounting the seat
As first step merge the lower seat connection
sheets with their respective connection tube
on the frame.Align the seat to the frame cen-
ter.Then slide the middle and upper seat con-
nection sheets with their openings on the re-
spective quick release. Be careful to not cause
any paint damage.With the BodyLink-seat it is
possible to first push in the middle seat con-
nection and then the upper because of its fle-
xibility. In case the seat can not be mounted
easily check the quick releases are loosened
enough (if necessary unscrew the nuts a little
bit more). It may be helpful to punch the seat
with your hand to properly fit the seat to the
bike.
Close the quick releases. Please refer to the
hints given on
page 27
.
Danger!
Before riding your trike, make sure
the quick release is securely closed.The se-
curing tab must be locked and the quick re-
lease lever must be lay on the rear frame
part. Cables or wires must run free.The
handlebar must turn easily and freely.All seat
quick releases must be closed properly.
