Repair and maintenance by your dealer
During the maintenance session, check the brakes, wheels, lights, chain tension and
spokes. Also check the tread depth of the tyres. This must be at least one millimetre.
Worn tyres or defective parts must be replaced. Also check the operation of the
parking brake. When the parking brake is active, the tricycle with rider may not move.
Finally, the front suspension must be checked. First check whether the bolts are
secure. Subsequently check whether the spring does not allow any vertical play. If
this is the case, it is necessary to take a closer look at this component.
Inspection of the rims
Due to the interplay between both the brake and rims, both the condition of the brake
lining and rims is important. For this reason, the rims must be regularly inspected (e.g.
when pumping the tyre). The presence of fine cracks in the rim at the spoke nipples or
deformation of the rim during elevated air pressure in the tyre, indicate greater wear and
tear. In that case the rim must be replaced. If not, this may negatively impact the operation
of the brakes or may even cause a break in the rim with all sorts of dangerous
consequences.
Repairs, maintenance and modifications may only be performed with original Van Raam
parts.
