Repairs and maintenance to be done by dealer

Check the brakes, the rims, lighting, the chain tension and the spokes. Also check the
tyre tread depth. This should be at least one millimetre. Worn out tyres or possible
faulty parts should be replaced. Also check the parking brake. With the parking brake
pulled up, the tricycle should not ride away with the cyclist.
Checking the rim
Due to the combined action of the brake and the rims, not only the brake lining but
also the condition of the rim is important. For this reason the rim should be checked at
regular intervals, for example when you inflate the tyres. The presence of fine cracks
in the spoke punches or deformation of the rim when there is higher air pressure,
indicate more serious wear and tear. In that case the rim should be replaced,
because it can lead to loss of brake function or even a crack in the rim, which can
lead to all kinds of dangerous consequences.
Repairs, maintenance and modifications should only be performed with original Van
Raam parts.

Adjustments to be done by dealer

The correct tension of the chain
The chain should not be too tight. It should hang loose. Without effort you should be
able to move the chain up and down, half a centimetre approximately.
Adjusting chain tension
Maxi, Maxi Comfort, Easy Rider Junior, Easy Rider)
To keep the chain tension correct, a special
tensioning wheel is fitted on to the tricycle, as an
integrated chain tensioner.
1. Slightly loosen the screw. Hold the nut at
the back tight with a socket wrench to stop
the screw from slipping.
2. Shift the tensioning wheel in such a way
that the chain hangs loose, as described
above.
3. Tighten the screw again.
