Thank you for choosing your Worksman Front-Loader Tricycle. Your new Worksman business cycle is an
American-made work vehicle with over 100 years of heavy duty, cargo-lugging experience in hundreds of
industries around the world! Worksman Front-Loaders are incredibly durable and, with proper maintenance,
will lead to decades of reliable service.
Since we use heavy-duty components, and not standard bicycle parts, it is important that only Worksman
factory replacement parts be used when repairing your cycle. Ride safely, and follow the rules of the road.
This manual is designed to assist you in assembling the cycle and identifying proper parts when they need
repair or replacement.
Assembly should always be performed by a qualified mechanic.
If you have any
further questions, feel free to call our customer service department.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
These instructions are predominately for the front end of the tricycle. Read
them fully prior to assembly. The rear chassis is fully assembled already with the exception of the seat and the
pedals. You will need a socket set, a flat-head screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, pliers, an adjustable wrench,
and grease.
Attaching Front Wheels to Axle:
(See illustration.)
1) Grease the wheel hub cups (103) using Mobile Special Grease
B or Rustolene 200 or equivalent bearing grease.
2) Insert one bearing (146) onto axle so that the balls of the
bearings are facing the wheel hub cup. Place wheel onto the axle.
Place second bearing onto the axle so that the balls face the cup
of the wheel.
3) Thread on the outside adjusting cone (105). (Note: Left-hand thread!) Hand-tighten using a punch, ice pick,
or small Phillips head screwdriver. After hand tightening back off a ¼ turn.
4) Install key washer (102) and dust washer (109).
5) Install left hand lock nut (113). Thread down and tighten fully. Wheels should spin freely without any wobble
left to right or up and down. If too tight or too loose, readjust adjusting cone.
Attaching Axle to the Frame:
(See illustration.)
1) Remove the top nut (113), adjusting cone (105), and washer (102) from the head
spindle assembly, which is shipped in the head lug of the frame. The spindle will drop
out through the bottom of the head lug.
2) Position the center of the axle into the front portion of the frame with the spring-
mounting plates facing up and spindle set-screws (already installed) facing forward.
3) Re-insert the spindle with the two flat spots on the spindle facing the set-screws.
4) Tighten the set-screws against the flat spots on the spindle, thus holding the axle
firmly in place.
5) Re-install bearing (146), adjusting cone (105), keywasher (102), and locknut (113)
as shown.
Fender Installation:
(See illustration.)
If your tricycle is equipped with fenders (4902A) for the front wheels, the axle will have a
three pronged
“wing” on each side upon which the individual “J” shaped steel fender braces
(4904) are to be attached.
1) Using ¼
” x ¾” HEX head bolts, lockwashers (shown), and serrated nuts (4906), attach
brace to wing.
2) Place fenders over the top of the braces, align holes, and use ¼
” x ½” ROUND head
slotted screws on top of fender and the lockwashers and nuts (4905) on bottom.
