The load should be placed as close to the
body of the rider as possible, since this results
in better riding performance.You can also im-
prove the handling of the trike by positioning
the center of gravity of the luggage as low as
possible, so pack heavy items in the bottom of
your panniers.
Take care that your luggage is safely stored on
the racks. Bags must be tightly fastened to the
racks so they can not move. Make sure that
loose parts like straps or belts can not touch
the wheels, the derailleur, or the suspension.
The rear rack is designed for standard bike
panniers.
Take care that your luggage does not cover
the lighting system and the reflectors of your
tricycle and that they stay fully functional.
Transport in the car
The best way to transport your tricycle is in-
side the car.Take care that it does not lie on
the derailleur.
If you want to transport it outside the car we
recommend a roof-rack or a rear carrier.Take
care to fasten your tricycle at the frame only.
Please remove any parts that could come
loose during transport (seat cushion, water
bottles, luggage bags, pumps, pennants, etc.).
Final assembly
Your trike has been delivered to your special-
ist dealer only partly assembled.
Your dealer has carefully finished the assembly,
perhaps altered the specification of your trike
to meet your special requirements and per-
formed a test ride. Please make sure that this
pre-delivery service is recorded in the
Warranty Pass at the end of this manual.
All screws must be checked and tightened, es-
pecially on the handlebar, stem, knuckles, swing
arm pivot and wheels. Please follow the tight-
ening torque settings listed in the table on
page 63
.
Derailleurs and brakes must be checked and
adjusted. Please follow the instructions in the
manuals of the parts manufacturers that come
with this manual.
Screws and bolts
Caution!
Screws must be tightened with
prescribed tightening torque. In this manual
tightening torques are given in "Nm“
(Newtonmeter).Always use a torque
wrench wherever a torque setting is given in
this manual. Never rely on "feeling". Screws
tightened too much or not enough can
break, which can lead to dangerous acci-
dents. In case you don't own a torque
wrench have your bicycle mechanic do the
respective work.You will find a table with
the prescribed torque settings on
page 63
in
this manual.
