Do not use the front brake by itself, always apply the rear brake first followed by the front brake and be sure to use both
brakes for all braking operations. Front fork failure or loss of control are plausible when the front brake is operated
independently for slowing at high speed with cargo loads.
Do not remove the clear rear wheel side covers from your RadWagon. These help to keep straps and cargo away from the
moving wheels. Contact with the rear wheel can cause injury and damage to occur.
The kickstand is not designed to be used for loading cargo. You MUST hold onto the bike whenever loading cargo, especially
when loading precious cargo and children. Do not assume the bike is stable and balanced when using the kickstand, always
hold onto the bike when cargo is being loaded or in place.
Maintenance
Bicycle Care
To ensure safe riding conditions you must properly maintain your bike. You should follow these basic guidelines and see your
certified local bike shop seasonally to ensure your bike is safe for use.
o
Properly maintain batteries by keeping them fully charged when not in use.
o
Never immerse the bike or any components in water as the electrical system may be damaged.
o
Periodically check wiring and connectors to ensure there is no damage and the connectors are secure.
o
To clean, wipe the frame with a damp cloth soaked in a mild non-corrosive detergent mixture. Dry with a cloth.
o
Store under shelter; avoid leaving it in the rain or exposed to corrosive materials. If exposed to rain, dry your bicycle
afterwards and apply anti-rust treatment to chain and other unpainted steel surfaces.
o
Riding on the beach or in coastal areas exposes your bicycle to salt which is very corrosive. Wash your bicycle
frequently and wipe or spray all unpainted parts with anti-rust treatment. Damage from corrosion is not covered
under warranty so special care should be given to extend the life of your bike when used in coast areas or areas with
salty air or water.
