Two Piece Frame

Quest 88 tricycles can be split into two parts to make lifting and
handling, transport and storage simpler. The mechanism for this
splits the trike into the front steering assembly with down tubes
and the rear assembly of seat, pedals and drive mechanism. If the
mechanism which joins the two parts of the trike does not appear to
work correctly, take the trike out of service immediately and contact
Quest 88 Limited.

Note on Clamping Handles

These handles are fastened by rotating them clockwise and
released by turning them anticlockwise. The handles have a
mechanism inside which allows the lever to move freely without
affecting the clamping action. When the handle cannot be turned
completely, pull the lever out and turn it back from your intended
direction. Letting the lever go will engage the clamping action
again to continue fastening or releasing the handle.
Turn the clamping handle on the plates between the two down tubes
and continue to turn it until it comes free of the trike. The two parts
of the trike are now free to be split apart.

To Split the Two Parts

To split the trike, hold the front of the frame and apply a
downward pressure on the drive section on the top tube in
front of the chain guard. The drive section should drop away
and rest on the prop on the underside of the frame.
Once the trike has been split, wind the clamping handle into
the threaded hole in the plate for safe keeping.
Lift the rear end of the trike so that the pin lines up with the
tube in the front end of the trike. Fit the pin into the tube and
ensure that it is fully fitted by checking that the holes in the
plates between the down tubes line up. Once the holes are in
line, re fit the clamping handle and ensure it is fully tightened
before using the trike.
