Push/Pull Rods - Quest 88 Trikes User Manual

Push/Pull Rods

Push/Pull Rods are used to "check" the action of the user on trike.
They can be used to encourage pedalling through the fixed wheel
action on the trikes so as the bike is pushed or pulled the pedals will
turn. Pull rods will enable you to steer the trike.
The rod can be used to pull the trikes when it is attached to a bracket
which fits onto the handlebar stem.
To fit the bracket, undo the bolt at the top of the handlebar stem
and pull the handlebars out of the head tube. Fit the bracket onto
the stem and replace the handlebars in the head tube.
Set the handle bars to the desired height (see main trike user
instructions) and fasten the bracket in position by tightening the
grub screws on each side of the bracket with a 3mm hexagonal key.
The Push/Pull Rod tube can be fitted position by sliding it over the
chromed tube on the bracket. Push in the popper on the chrome
tube and fit the Rod onto the tube. Ensure the popper fits through
the hole in the rod before use.
To push the trike, the Rod can be fitted onto a chrome tube attached
to the back of the trike between to plates. Fit the Rod as described
above.
!
Push and Pull Rods must not be used as levers to
tilt and turn the tricycle either with or without
the rider present. Neither is it to be used to lift
the front wheel over a threshold, such as a shed
door. The Pull Rod is intended to assist the child
with steering and pedalling and is not intended
to pull the child up steep inclines.
The push rod is not a "rear steer device", it is
intended as a means of assisting pedalling whilst
allowing the rider to steer.
