Helpful Maintenance Tips:
Always inspect for worn parts. Should it become necessary to replace the front fork (50HD) assembly, please follow

Grease cups (48) using Rustolene 200 lubricant or equal. Bearings (49)are pre-
greased at the factory, but it is always a good idea to add lubrication prior to assembly.
1) Place one bearing (#49) onto the fork steering tube with the balls facing up.
2) Slide the threaded fork (50HD) steering tube into the frame head
3) Place the other bearing on the top of the fork tube with the balls facing down
towards the cup (#48), which is already pressed onto the frame.
5) Install the top adjusting cone (#52) onto the treaded fork steering tube. Hand
tighten, making certain the bearings do not bind. After hand tightening, turn back ¼
turn.
6) Install the fork key washer (#53) and reflector bracket (if reflectors were ordered)
on top of the adjusting cone with tip of washer in slot on steering tube.
7) Install head lock nut (#54) and securely tighten. Make sure that the fork rotates
freely without being loose. Excess play or resistance must be adjusted. Failure to
adjust properly can lead to improper steering response.

Tips:
Always inspect your Worksman Cycle to insure that that all nuts, bolts, screws and
hardware are tight and that no parts are worn or damaged. Do not attempt to straighten
bent forks or frames.
Lubricate chain every six months or as needed with light oil. Replace sprockets when
teeth become worn, bent or broken. Keep chain adjusted so
there is no more than 3/8” slack. Note, we make the chains tight
at the factory as we do know they will stretch during the break-in
period.
Lubricate crank parts as needed and replace pedals when the
surface is worn of if pedal axle becomes “tight” or frozen.
Drum Brake:
Your Worksman Mover Tricycle is equipped with an automotive type front drum brake. This
brake is ideal for slowing your vehicle smoothly and reliably. It is engaged by squeezing the
hand lever on the handlebar. To use “Park” feature, when cycle is completely stopped,
squeeze hand lever and push in parking plunger button on lever. To disengage, simply
squeeze lever until parking plunger button releases.
Drum Brakes are pre-adjusted at the factory. Readjust the cable tension as necessary using
the adjusting barrel so that wheel spins freely and stops when brake is applied. Always
replace worn brake cables (F719) and damaged hand levers. Internal parts are available for
your Drum Brake (L725 parts kits and L709 Axle set).
Coaster Brake (if applicable):
Foot activated coaster brakes are easy to use and reliable. To activate this internal brake, reverse the pedaling motion
until the brake engages. To avoid skidding and maintain control, apply care when braking. This is especially true on wet
surfaces. Apply brakes gently, gradually increasing pedal back pressure. Replace coaster brakes when they become
worn. Check chain tension regularly.
Tires:
Always check for worn or damaged tires. The Worksman Sup-r-tires are heavy duty. We recommend 40PSI as proper
level of inflation. Replace tires that are worn or cut immediately. Replace tubes that show leaks.
