Saddle Height
The saddle height is the essential element in maintaining balance,
whilst providing the legs with the correct positioning for easy
pedalling.
The trike may arrive with the saddle and stem removed. Carefully align
the stem with the steel tube on the frame and slide into position. The
ideal seat height is when one of the user’s thighs is horizontal when
the corresponding pedal is at the top of its cycle. Use the user’s seat
to floor height as a measurement to set the top of the saddle to the
top of a pedal at the top of its cycle. Fasten the saddle in position
with the clamp at the top of the steel stem. To tighten the clamp,
hold the lever pointing down in the ‘open’ position and turn the knob
on the opposite side until it is as tight as possible. Lock the lever by
pulling it up through 180 degrees until it feels very stiff
.
!
Check that the saddle is secure by leaning on
the saddle and trying to rotate it at the same
time. Ensure that there is no movement by
repeating the tightening process if necessary.
There is a maximum height setting indicated
by a gap in the knurling (textured surface) on
the saddle stem. Do not fasten the saddle in
position with this indicator above the top of the
trike frame saddle tube.
The Panther trike is delivered without mudguards fitted to avoid
damage in transit. The mudguards are left and right handed and are
labelled accordingly. When referring to left and right, it is always
as you are sitting on the trike. If the labels are missing, the longer
length of round tube on the mudguard is fitted pointing forwards.
To fit the mudguards, pass the socket head bolts through the
brackets welded to the trike frame. Offer the holes of the mudguard
stay to the frame brackets and fit the bolts through. Using the 3mm
hexagon key and multi spanner, fasten the mudguards in place as
shown RIGHT.
