DO NOT REMOVE REAR WHEEL TO PLACE
DRIFTING SLEEVES – as the wheels are fixed
using fastenings that require the use of
appropriate torque for tightening.
A wide variety of fastener sizes and shapes made in a variety of materials, often
differing by model and component, the correct tightening force or torque cannot be
generalized. To make sure that the many fasteners on your Trike are correctly
tightened, refer to the Fastener Torque
Specifications in Appendix D of this manual or
to the torque specifications in the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the
component in question. Correctly tightening a fastener requires a calibrated torque
wrench. A professional bike mechanic with a torque wrench can torque the fasteners
on you Trike.
Your Trike may be equipped with a different securing method for the front wheel than
for the rear wheel. Discuss the wheel securing method for your Trike with your dealer.
It is very important that you understand the type of wheel securing
method on your Trike, that you know how to secure the wheels correctly,
and that you know how to apply the correct clamping force that safely
secures the wheel. Ask your dealer to instruct you in correct wheel
removal and installation, and ask him to give you any available
manufacturer ’s instructions.
WARNING: Riding with an improperly secured wheel can allow the
wheel to wobble or fall off the Trike, which can cause serious injury
or death. Therefore, it is essential that you:
1. Ask your dealer to help you make sure you know how to install
and remove your wheels safely.
2. Understand and apply the correct technique for clamping your
wheel in place.
3. Each time, before you ride the trike, check that the wheel is
securely clamped.
4. The clamping action of a correctly secured wheel must
emboss the surfaces of the dropouts.

risk of the wheel disengaging from the fork if the wheel is incorrectly secured. Secondary
retention devices are not a substitute for correctly securing your front wheel.
Secondary retention devices fall into two basic categories:
