adjustment yourself by following the guide in the maintenance section.
Î Î
Apply the parking brake and push Taga forward - Does either one of the front
wheels rotate? If yes, it is time to adjust the front brakes or level them.
For this you can contact us directly, contact your local reseller or make the
adjustment yourself by following the guide in the maintenance section.
Î Î
Squeeze the front brakes lever and push Taga forwards and back.
Do the wheels rotate? If yes, it is time to adjust the front brake cables.
Does everything feel solid? If you feel a clunk with each forward or
backward movement, you may have a loose headset, a loose screw
on the steering rod or a loose quick release screw in the T joint, which
connects the rear frame and the front frame. If you think this is the case,
please contact us or have your reseller check this.
Î Î Please inspect the brake pads at regular intervals to ensure safe operation of
the braking system. When the friction material on the pads has worn down
to 1.0mm please replace with Taga approved brake pads.
Î Î When standing on a flat surface, turn the handles from left and right as if you
are steering. Does this feel smooth? If you feel any binding or roughness in
the steering, the headset may be too tighten. Please contact us or have your
reseller check it.
Î Î
Grab one pedal with your hand and rotate it toward and away from the
centerline of the Taga; then do the same with the other pedal. Does anything
feel loose or jarred? If so, please contact us or have your reseller check the
chain
Î Î
Carefully check the control cables and cable housings. Any rust? Kinks?
Fraying? If so, contact us or have your reseller replace them.
Î Î Place in second gear by rotating the shifter until the mark faces the digit “2”.
Look at the gear controller at the rear of the tricycle (located on the rear wheel
axle, at the end of the chain guard). Is the yellow spot located between the
two yellow lines? If not, contact us or see your reseller for gear adjustment.
Î Î Squeeze each adjoining pair of spokes on either side of each wheel between
your thumb and index finger. Do they all feel about the same? If any feel
loose, please contact us or have your reseller check the wheel for tension and
trueness.
Î Î Check to make sure that all parts and accessories are properly secured and
tighten any which are not. Specifically check the brakes, wheels, pedals,
gear, quick release levers, child seat, child seat safety harness, steering arms,
steering rod and all nuts and bolts. See maintenance section for more details
Î Î
Check the frame, particularly in the areas around all tube joints; the
handlebars, the rims, the stem and the seat post for any deep scratches,
cracks or discoloration. These are signs of stress-caused fatigue and indicate
that a part is at the end of its lifespan and needs to be replaced. Contact us or
your reseller in case something seems wrong or if you are not sure.
