Check Of Correct Positioning; Intended Performance - Quest 88 Trikes User Manual

Check of Correct Positioning

Positioning can be checked quickly after setting up
by pushing the trike forwards with the user on it.
The trike's fixed wheel means that forward motion
will be transferred to the pedals, which in turn will
move the user's legs up and down. If the trike is set
up well, all movement should resemble standard
cycling patterns. Any movement such as extreme
rocking from side to side, lifting from the saddle, or
knees locking in either full extension or full flexion,
will require further attention. Please contact Quest
88 Limited for further guidance if required.
Note: If testing set up without the additional
supports prescribed during demonstration,
support the child manually to avoid accidents.
Ensure that tyres are correctly inflated as specified
in the maintenance section of these instructions.
Look out for Growth!
Riders are always growing and the trike set
up should be re-visited to reflect this. Follow
the procedures described earlier to adjust the
settings for the best comfort and performance.

Intended Performance

Once the trike has been set up for use, check that
the operation is correct. All moving parts have been
designed to run as freely as possible.Therefore;
• Handlebars will turn freely between the stops of the
steering limiter (35 degrees in each direction from the centre when in use).
• If the back of the trike is lifted and the pedals turned, the left rear wheel will revolve smoothly.
• When the trike is pushed along the floor in both directions, the pedals will turn freely in the
corresponding direction.
• When the brake lever is pulled the front wheel will lock and the bike will be difficult to push, the
front wheel not turning at all.
If any of the features on your trike do not perform as described then they may require attention. Take the
trike out of service immediately and contact Quest 88 Limited. Check the care and maintenance section
of these instructions. Anything which is not covered in this list must be referred back to Quest 88 Limited.
