Safety measures
•
Take immediate action if any part is loose while using the bicycle, if slack is
detected or if you hear a strange noise. If you cannot solve the problem yourself,
please contact your Van Raam dealer. Pay particular attention to the wheels,
handlebars and seat.
•
Only use the bicycle on a
solid and level surface
.
•
It is recommended to drive slowly on slopes.
•
If you stopped on a slope, pull away slowly and if necessary, lean forward to
prevent the front wheel from losing contact with the road surface.
•
Do you roll backwards on a slope? Brake in doses to prevent the front wheel
from losing contact with the road surface.
•
The following accessories can adversely affect stability on a slope: rollator
holder, stick holder, wheelchair holder or a loaded shopping basket.
•
Make sure that no dangerous speed develops on descents. Brake on time and
cycle at a moderate speed.
•
Be careful not to get baggy pants or loose-fitting clothing caught in the chain,
wheels, pedals and other rotating/moving parts.
•
Do not use a high pressure or steam cleaner for cleaning.
•
Use the parking brake when you park (and leave) the bike. Also use the parking
brake to block the bicycle from pulling away when getting on and off. See chapter
"Before use"
for correct use of the parking brake.
•
Lock the tricycle at all times if you leave the bike unattended.
•
During pregnancy, extra caution is required because of an increased risk of injury.
•
Do not put the bicycle in direct sunlight: the temperature of some parts can
exceed 41ºC. Contact with the skin may cause skin sensitisation.
•
Note: brake discs can become hot during braking. Be careful not to touch the
brake discs shortly after a bike ride.
•
If pedal assistance is available on the bicycle: practice with the starting aid and
the reverse function. When using the bicycle, make sure that the starting aid or
the reverse function is not unintentionally activated. For example, if when
stopping at a traffic light, the pedals are turned backwards, the reverse function
will be activated and the bicycle will start to reverse. Practice using the reverse
