Using the Optional Front Suspension
The front suspension has two manual controls that can change ride and handling
characteristics. Looking from above astride the trike, the right-side knob controls
the stiffness of the suspension. The left side switch is used to disable/enable the
suspension.
To stiffen or loosen the suspension, turn the right-side knob
clockwise or counter-clockwise respectively. All trikes ship with
the suspension at the loosest setting. If you find that the front
end dives too much, or that you are having difficulty turning on
soft ground (sand, snow), increase the stiffness of both forks by
turning the knob clockwise.
When activated, the optional front suspension for the Electric
Juggernaut smoothens cornering on hard surfaces and improves
control on soft sand. Under some circumstances such as when
the rear wheel drifts sideways in very soft sand, the suspension
may make it difficult to stay upright. Under these circumstances, Rungu
recommends disabling the front suspension by turning the switch from the Open
position to the Lock position.
Using the parking brake switch
With the 2017 Model, the front or rear hydraulic brake (or both) levers have a
parking brake switch. To operate the switch, hold in the brake lever and flip the
switch. The switch holds the brake lever in place, which holds the rotor in place
and prevents the trike from moving when parked. The parking brake is very useful
when parking on angle. REMEMBER to switch off the parking brake before riding.
NOTE: Riding with the parking brake engaged produces significant wear on the
brake pads leading to a decrease in brake pad life and stopping power.
Warranty DOES NOT cover replacement brake pads.
