Mounting Leaf Springs to Axle:
(See illustration.)
1) STPT - Position two short 4
” spring spacers (4921LS) on the axle plate. (No short spacers on “U”)
2) STPT - Place the 4921LL (9
”) and 4921L (17”) spring spacers on top of the short 4” spacers.
“U” - Place the 4921UL (19”) curved spring spacer on top of the axle plate.
3) Place the leaf spring with the curve facing UP on top of the spacers, centering it on the axle.
4) Using both of the
“U” bolts provided, clamp the spring and spacers through the axle plate and tighten. Be
sure to put a lockwasher between the flat washer and the serrated hex nut.
5) Repeat for other side of axle.
Attaching Platform or Cabinet to Leaf Springs:
NOTE:
Make sure handlebar mount holes on platform or cabinet are facing the rear of the tricycle.
Platform
1) Place platform onto springs, lining up the holes in the platform with the holes in the
open springs.
2) Insert FLATHEAD elevator bolts through the platform and tighten using the flat
washer, lockwasher, and serrated hex nut
– in that order.
3) Tighten to pull bolt square through hole in platform to lock in place.
Cabinet
For cabinets, elevator bolts are already mounted through the undercarriage. The 2x4 wood strips, which
protect these bolts, must be removed BEFORE positioning the cabinet onto the springs.
Mounting the Handlebars:
Position handlebar, lining up the holes in handlebar with the holes in the platform
or cabinet. Insert 5/16
” X ¾” ROUND-HEAD bolts and hardware provided.
Install Pedals: Pedals are marked “R” or “L” on the threaded end of the
pedal. Attempts to install the pedals on the wrong side or tighten in the
wrong direction will damage the threads and will NOT be warranteed.
1) Slightly grease pedal threads prior to attaching to crankarms.
2) Install
“ R” pedal on right side and tighten CLOCKWISE.
3) Install
“L” pedal on left side and tighten COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
Install Seat and Seatpost:
1) Insert seatpost into seat clamp on bottom of seat. Do not tighten yet.
2) Install seatpost info frame. Do not tighten yet.
3) Adjust angle of seat with nose raised slightly. Tighten seat clamp bolt securely. (240 IN. LBS.)
4) Adjust the seat height to your desired level. Make sure a minimum of 3 1/2
” of the post remains in the frame
tube. Never adjust post above this level, which is marked on the seat post.
5) Tighten seat tube clamp at top of seat tube.
MAINTENANCE TIPS:
Always inspect your Worksman Cycle to ensure that all nuts, bolts, screws and hardware are tight and that no parts are
worn or damaged. Do not attempt to straighten bent frames.
Chain:
Lubricate chain once a month or as needed with light oil. Replace
sprockets when teeth become worn, bent or broken. Keep chain
adjusted so there is no more than 3/8
” slack. Note that we leave
the chains tight at the factory, as we do know they will stretch
during the break-in period. Lubricate crank parts every six months.
Replace pedals when the surface is worn or if axle becomes
“tight”
or frozen.
