6. Cleaning and maintaining.
6.1.2 Disinfection
Various products can be used for surface disinfection of metal and plastic
parts.
Liquid disinfectants are available as ready-to-use solutions that are spray-
ed on and evenly applied with a soft cloth. Alternatively, wipes pre-soaked
with disinfectant can be used to wipe the products over the entire surface.
In both cases, care must be taken to ensure complete wetting. Disinfection
in fully automatic disinfection systems is also possible and recommended.
The exposure times may vary and can be found in the manufacturer's ins-
tructions for the products used.
6.1.3 Chain maintenance
Drive chains must be regularly cared for. This
is in particular the case after riding in rain.
The chain must be lubricated with a com-
mercially available chain oil. Due to the ex-
pansion of the chain which is a natural result
of use, regular inspection of the chain tension
is required. Check the chain tension by tes-
ting whether the chain on the tricycle can be
pressed max. 10 - 15 mm upwards and down-
wards. In order to reset the tension of the
chains in the drive area, loosen the nuts (

)
on the hub and pull the hub evenly to the
rear. In the second step, the main chain must
be adjusted by shifting the idler roller (

).
Leave this work to your specialist dealer in
case of any uncertainty!
After each adjustment, please retighten all screw connections!
An incorrectly-tensioned chain can lead to increased wear!
6.2 Servicing / controls
Please carry out a daily visual inspection and check the tricycle regularly
for cracks, breaks, missing parts and malfunctions. In case of a defect or
malfunction, please contact the specialist dealer who supplied you with
the product (see
Point 9.5
).
