OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY
BE SURE TO READ AND CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING BEFORE THE TRICYCLE IS USED
THE USE OF A WELL FITTED CYCLE HELMET IS RECOMMENDED
You have made an excellent investment in your child's health and happiness. Our tricycles offer
valuable exercise and therapy by providing cardiovascular fitness and increased muscle strength.
This range of tricycles is designed for recreation and therapy of children with special needs. Riders
must have fair head and trunk control to operate the trike effectively.
The tricycle is chain driven and has a fixed gear arrangement which helps to promote muscle development and
coordination. Additional supports can be added to the tricycle to tailor it to each child's needs.
The following instructions will give you advice on the adjustments and maintenance procedures to enable you to keep your
tricycle in the best possible condition. We do, however, recommend that a regular service is carried out by your appointed
dealer or a reputable local bicycle shop. The small cost will help to ensure rider safety and long life of the tricycle.
Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
1. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY OPERATE
ALL STANDARD AND ACCESSORY EQUIPMENT FURNISHED WITH YOUR TRICYCLE
2. MAKE SURE THAT THE SADDLE AND THE HANDLEBARS ARE POSITIONED TO
PROVIDE THE MAXIMUM SAFETY AND COMFORT.
3. BEFORE RIDING THE TRICYCLE, BE SURE THAT THE BRAKES ARE CORRECTLY
ADJUSTED AND FUNCTION PROPERLY. BE SURE TO TEST THAT YOUR TRICYCLE
OPERATES SAFELY AND THAT IT CAN BE BROUGHT TO A SMOOTH SAFE STOP.
4. WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF A CYCLE HELMET, IF ONE IS USED, BE SURE IT FITS
COMFORTABLY AND SECURELY AND DOES NOT IN ANY WAY INTERFERE WITH
VISION OR HEARING.
5. OUR TRIKES ARE DESIGNED WITH A LOW CENTRE OF GRAVITY, BROAD WHEELBASE,
AND AN ADJUSTABLE STEERING STOP TO MINIMISE THE RISK OF THEM TIPPING OVER,
HOWEVER, ALL TRIKES CAN BE TIPPED OVER. ENSURE THAT THE RIDER IS
PROFICIENT IN HANDLING THE TRICYCLE ESPECIALLY WHEN CORNERING. IT IS
BEST TO CORNER SLOWLY UNTIL CONFIDENCE IS GAINED IN HANDLING THE
TRIKE.
6. CHECK TYRES FOR PROPER INFLATION PRESSURE AS INDICATED ON THE SIDEWALL.
7. ALL TRICYCLES ARE MADE AND ARE INTENDED FOR ONLY ONE PERSON TO RIDE,
SITTING PROPERLY ON THE SEAT.
8. MAKE SURE THAT ALL NUTS, BOLTS, AND SCREWS ARE SECURELY TIGHTENED.
9. THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR FAILURE, INJURY, OR DAMAGE
CAUSED BY IMPROPER COMPLETION OF ASSEMBLY OR IMPROPER MAINTENANCE
AFTER SHIPMENT.
10. SINCE NORMAL WEAR OF SUCH PARTS AS TYRES, TUBES, BRAKE BLOCK ASSEMBLIES,
CABLES, ETC. WILL NECESSITATE REPLACEMENT FROM TIME TO TIME, PLEASE REFER
TO YOUR DEALER OR A REPUTABLE BICYCLE SHOP FOR WHATEVER ITEMS ARE
REQUIRED.
11. INSURE YOUR TRICYCLE
12. RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
• USE UNDER SUPERVISION
• THE RIDER SHOULD WEAR PROTECTIVE HEADGEAR AND ALWAYS WEAR SHOES
• DO NOT USE NEAR STEPS, SLOPING DRIVEWAYS, ROADWAYS, OR SWIMMING POOLS

GUARANTEE FREEDOM FROM INJURY. THE USER ASSUMES ALL RISK OF INJURY OR
SUITABILITY FOR A PARTICULAR CLIENT.
