•
Check the spokes of the wheels, they should all be of uniform tension and none of the spokes
or adjusting nipples should be loose. For advice checking wheel spokes see maintenance
Section 4: ‘Service’
•
Check for unintended movement in the wheel bearings by lifting each wheel off the ground
slightly, and holding the top of the wheel, try to wiggle it side to side. There should be no
sideways movement or knocking felt.
•
Do the same at the rear wheel. Ensure there is no unintended movement in either the rear
wheel bearings or the steering bearings.
•
Check Hydraulic brake hose for physical damage and leakage. If the hose is damaged do not
ride your MT push until it has been repaired by your MT push dealer
If the wheels appear loose, or if you discover that anything is not as it should be, do not ride the
MT push and consult your MT push dealer.
Suspension
There is an individual shock absorber for each wheel of the MT push. The shock absorber units
have been factory set. (There are however several adjustments that can be made to suit personal
preference). Your MT push dealer can help you set the suspension for you needs.
Tyre Pressure
Check that the tyre pressures are even and are suited to the terrain and the type of riding being
undertaken. The range of acceptable tyre pressures is printed on the tyre, depending on the
manufacturer’s specification. Recommended tyre pressures for different riding conditions:
•
Wet mud, wet grass, gravel 20 - 25 psi (1.38 - 1.72 bar)
•
Dry dirt, dry grass 25 - 35 psi (1.72 - 2.41 bar)
• Wet street 30 - 35 psi (2.07 - 2.41 bar)
•
Dry street 35 - 40 psi (2.41 - 2.76 bar)
WARNING - Failure to ride with the appropriate tyre pressures can increase the risk or
punctures, damage to the Trike or could possible cause the rider to lose control and fall.
2.2 Transferring in and out
Due to the presence of the extra features and systems on a MT push, special care must be taken
whilst transferring in and out. Whilst every effort has been made to make the transfer as straight
forward as possible, some extra consideration should be made before first attempting to transfer.
Choose a piece of smooth, flat ground to perform the transfer with sufficient space to use
transfer aids if necessary and allow assistance if required.
Ensure the parking brakes are applied on both brakes, one on each side, to stop the MT Push
moving during transfer.
