G) Final Assembly
1) Install reflector kit
2) Seat- Adjust seat for desired height. Open Quick Release Tightening clamp. Put one pedal in the down position.
Adjust the seat height so that the ball of the riders foot comfortably reaches the pedal when leg is slightly bent while
seated. Seat Height is a personal preference. Seat-post must inserted into frame at least 3.5”. Once seat is positioned
properly, tighten nut fairly securely by hand and close the “L” tightening arm. Seat-post should be tight enough to
insure that the seat does not rotate.
3) Handlebar- Open Quick Release Clamp. Reposition Stem in frame to achieve the desired height. Keeping minimum
stem insertion (as detailed in Stem installation section) at 4”. Squarely position the bars in line with front wheel and re-
tighten the clamp.
4) Tires- Check for proper tire inflation (35PSI is normal). Maximum tire inflation is indicated on the side wall of the tire.
5) Drum Brakes (PT2F-W) are pre-adjusted at the factory. However, if the wheel is not turning freely as a result of a tight
drum brake, readjust the cable adjusting screw.

How to fold your Tricycle
Lift the “Safety-Loc” lever and rotate the bolt arm while slightly lifting this arm, you will then be able to fold the frame. Be
careful to position the pedals for wheel clearance. To refold, simply rotate the bolt back into the slot (you may have to
push bolt slightly downward to line up with the slot). Once positioned, lift the “Safety-Loc” lever. It is advisable to place
grease in the pin hole on the frame hinge every so often so the “Safety-Loc “ system works easily.
This Tricycle is equipped with Hand Brakes. Apply brakes by squeezing hand lever.
Make certain to read the manual prior to riding. Make certain to understand rules of the road and safety instructions. Do
not ride cycles after dark. In Dusk or dawn, lights are recommended. Use of a Helmet is always a good precaution.
Inspect your cycle regularly for wear of parts and replace as required. Only use factory original replacement parts.
Lubricate Chain, caliper Brake Pivot Bolt and other past as necessary and at least once every 6 months.

Where to Ride a Three Wheeler: It is recommended that you ride in areas that are paved and relatively flat. Avoid steep
hills and naturally ride where you feel safe. Low traffic areas are most desirable.
How to Ride a Three Wheeler: Sit up straight when going straight. When turning you can lean ever so slightly into the
direction of the turn. Slow Down prior to making a turn. Never make sharp turns. Steer by pointing the front wheel in the
direction you wish to go. Note, tricycles have a tendency to pull slightly to the left---this is common in all three wheelers.
It is very common for three wheelers to make some clicking noise that emanates from the chain
.

Brakes and 3 Speed (for models with 3 speed Coaster Brake): All Port-o-trikes are equipped with a hand brake
(Caliper or Drum) that are operated by squeezing the hand lever. Coaster Brake models also have foot brakes which are
engaged by pedaling backwards until the brake operates. It is best to gently slow the cycle down using the hand brakes
and completing the stop using the coaster brake. For those models with the 3 speed coaster brake, simply use the
handlebar mounted shifter to select the desired gear. Gear one is the easiest gear (for easier starting) while gear two and
three are useful once you get to your desired riding speed. Select the gear that suits your individual taste and comfort
level.
