YOU SHOULD READ THIS MANUAL

 

 

Your tricycle is legally a vehicle. It can be ridden on roads mixing with 

other traffic. You need to know about certain legal and common sense 

requirements for the enjoyable, safe

 

and trouble free use of your tricycle.

 

 

 

 

OWNER’S  INFORMATION  AND  RESPONSIBILITY

 

 

To  reduce  the  risk  of  serious  personal  injury,  you  should  read  the  instructions  in  this 
manual carefully. 
 

 

 

 

There  are  warnings  throughout  this  manual. Follow 
all 

warning 

instructions. 

Don’t 

risk 

injury, 

mechanical failure or damage.

 

 

 

 

 
Your  tricycle  has  been  supplied  fully  assembled  and  adjusted  ready  for  use.  This 
manual is not an ‘assembly instruction’. If your tricycle has been supplied in a form not 
ready for use you must obtain “assembly instructions” from your supplier.

 

 

Return  your  tricycle  for  an  initial  service  by  your  tricycle  retailer  to  ensure  correct 
functions  of  components.    The  owner  or  main  rider  is  then  responsible  for  normal 
maintenance of the tricycle to keep  it in  good  operating condition.

 

 

Know how  to  operate all standard  and  accessory equipment  on the  tricycle.

 

 

Ensure  that  anyone  who  uses  the  tricycle  has  been  fully  instructed  in  the  operation  of 
tricycle functions.

 

 

Your  tricycle  conforms  to  relevant  Australian  Standards.  Other  local  regulations  may 
apply. Check with your tricycle retailer.

 

Many  tricycle  product  manufacturers  and  suppliers  provide  additional  information  on  Web 

sites.  The  Tricycle  Industry  in  Australia  Web  site  includes  many  useful  links  and  other
