5. Cleaning and maintaining.
5.1.3 Chain maintenance
Drive chains must be regularly cared for. This
is in particular the case after riding in rain.
The chain must be lubricated with a com-
mercially available chain oil. Due to the ex-
pansion of the chain which is a natural result
of use, regular inspection of the chain ten-
sion is required. Check the chain tension by
testing whether the chain on the tricycle can
be pressed max. 10 - 15 mm upwards and
downwards. In order to reset the tension of
the chains in the drive area, loosen the nuts
(
A
) on the hub and pull the hub evenly to the
rear. In the second step, the main chain must
be adjusted by shifting the idler roller (
B
). Leave this work to your specialist
dealer in case of any uncertainty!
After each adjustment, please retighten all screw connections!
An incorrectly-tensioned chain can lead to increased wear!
5.2 Servicing / controls
Please carry out a daily visual inspection and check the tricycle regularly
for cracks, breaks, missing parts and malfunctions. In case of a defect or
malfunction, please contact the specialist dealer who supplied you with
the product (see
Point 8.5
).
5.3 Maintenance
For reasons of user safety and to maintain product liability, maintenance
needs to be carried out every 1,000 km, however at least once a year, by
a specialist dealer (see
Point 8.5
). The maintenance work carried out must
be documented in the maintenance plan (see
Point 5.3.2
).
