2.8 Drive possibilities The MOMO tricycle can be equipped with the fol- lowing drives: Rigid sprocket During active pedalling, the rigid sprocket sup- ports the user in overcoming the "dead"/apex point of the crank. A passive user is assisted in pedalling constantly;...
3 or 7-gear freewheel brake hub (with backpedal brake) Using the 3 or 7-gear freewheel brake hub, the user can stop and start pedalling at will. They can brake by pedalling backwards. The user-friendly 3 or 7-gear hub gear system permits switching of gears when the tricycle is at a standstill. Switching takes place using the twist grip shifter on the handlebars.
Please ensure that none of the user's extremities are in the respective area when making adjustments to avoid the risk of injury. 3.1 Presettings The MOMO tricycle is supplied completely as- sembled. Prior to initial use, however, the fol- lowing pre-settings must be made.
3.1.2 Saddle adjustment You can find our selection of saddle forms on page 10 of these Instructions for use. Saddle height The height of the saddle can be adjusted on the frame saddle tube (A) by pulling the saddle post in or out.
3.2 Brakes Various brakes are available for the MOMO tricycle depending on the individual requirements of the user. 3.2.1 Parking brake The parking brake supports the use when clim- bing on and off the tricycle and secures it against inadvertently rolling away.
3.2.2 Round handlebars with brake lever ring On round handlebars with a brake lever ring, the brake functions through gentle pressing down of the ring (A) and is therefore suitable for children and adolescents with limited power in their arms and hands, who simultaneously need the round handlebars as a support point.
3.3 Tyres and hoses The tyres on the tricycle must always have suf- ficient air pressure, otherwise the tyres may puncture and the rims may be damaged, or the riding characteristics negatively influenced. The optimum tyre pressure totals approx. 2.5 - 3.5 bar.
4. Accessories 4.1 Dynamic back and pelvic guide pelotte pads All back and pelvic guide pelotte pads can only be used in connection with a holding bracket (see point 4.7). For depth adjustment of the pelotte pad holding bracket, please loosen the screws (A) on the right and left-hand sides of the support under the saddle, and bring the holding bracket into the re- quired position.
4.6 Handlebar lock limiter The handlebar lock limiter can be adjusted to de- termine the direction of travel. In order to adjust the handlebar lock limiter, ple- ase loosen all grub screws (A) and bring the limi- ter (B) into the required position. You can determine the direction by moving both limiters (B) towards the handlebar stop (C) and tightening them.
4.8 Universal adapter The universal adapter is mounted onto the hol- ding bracket and is used to mount the strap set available for the tricycle. The universal adapter is adjustable in height. To do this, simply loosen the screw (A) at the rear on the adapter and bring the universal adapter into the required position.
4.11 Special crnak for knee contracture The special crank for knee contractures is suitab- le for 20" - 26" tricycles, and can either be moun- ted on the left or right-hand side. 4.12 Removable axle stabilisers To achieve more compact dimensions during transport, the nut must be removed and the quick-release clamp released.
5. Foot fixations 5.1 Exercise bike pedals The exercise bike pedals are characterised by their integrated balancing weight, whereby the tread surface automatically balances itself hori- zontally. This permits the rider to climb on inde- pendently. The strap (A) is adjustable in length, and at the same time provides easy side guidance.
5.4 Footrests with leg guidance For the function and adjustment of the footrests, see point 5.3. The leg guidance also stabilises the foot joint and reduces internal rotation of the leg. The ad- justment of the leg guidance is to be undertaken through loosening of the screws (A) and moving them in the slotted hole.
6. Strap systems 6.1 Chest strap The chest strap is attached to the width adjus- table back pelotte pad, and, if required, ensures secure fixation of the user. The strap is mounted with the aid of the socket lock to the back pelotte pad and threaded through the strap guidance on the click buckle.
6.3 Groin harness, T-shaped The T-shaped groin harness is mounted onto the width adjustable pelvic pelotte pad. The strap is mounted onto the pelvic pelotte pad with the aid of the socket lock and threaded through the strap guidance on the click buckle. Then the click buckle is pressed down to fix.
• Prior to extended storage of the tyres, check the air pressure and, if necessary, pump them up to the air pressure recommended by the manufacturer (see point Please also pay attention to our general cleaning and hygiene advice. You can find them at www.schuchmann-reha.com/MOMO.
8.2 Repairs 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 11.5). Storage in winter Before storing the tricycle in winter, clean it (see point 8.1) and ensure that it has sufficient air pressure in the tyres.
