Aqua-Cycle Water Trikes—AC6
Assembly Instructions and Maintenance
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
This section will guide you through the assembly process. The second half of this
booklet covers maintenance to keep your Aqua-Cycle Water Trike in tiptop shape.
Please read all assembly instructions before you begin.
NEED HELP? Give us a call. It is better to get your questions answered rather
than hope what you are doing is correct. Your Aqua-Cycle Water Trike will last for
many years if assembled correctly.
These instructions are in the order that works best for quick assembly. Complete
each step before going to the next. As you start each new step re-read all the in-
structions for that section before proceeding.
If you have several Aqua-Cycle Water Trikes to assemble, do them one at a time. It
is much better to assemble and check out each one before proceeding to the next
one. Assembly line work does not give the best results nor is it any faster.
ECO-FRIENDLY—We do not market recreation products that have been chemically
"brightened". Our manufacturing processes meet the three-fold criteria of biodegradability,
zero (net) environmental impact and full scope reuse/renewability. We have long been con-
cerned with protecting both our customers and the ecosystems in which customers enjoy our
products. This policy is based upon our continuing commitment to responsible, earth friend-
ly business practices.
NOTES AND CAUTIONS
SAFETY—Never allow an Aqua-Cycle Water Trike to be operated without the
fork guard and belt guard properly installed for the protection and safety of your
users.
ANTI-SEIZE COMPOUND—Included with the assembly parts is a small quantity
of anti-seize compound. Put a small dab along the full length of the thread before
screwing on the nut. As the nut is turned the compound will be spread around the
thread to keep the nut from seizing up (galling) on the bolt. Galling is a common
problem with stainless steel lock nuts and bolts unless anti-seize compound is used.
If the nut and bolt seize up there is no way to separate them. Cutting, grinding or
twisting the bolt apart is the only solution. It is very important to use this com-
pound.
REAR WHEELS—Do not over-tighten the nuts and bolts when mounting the rear
wheels onto the axle. Follow the directions carefully. Tightening the wheel bolts
and nuts is not like tightening the lug nuts on a car wheel—do not over-tighten.
FRONT WHEEL—Carefully tighten the hex nuts against the front wheel bushings
on the front axle. Do not force the bushings into the center tube by over-tightening.
PEDAL SCREWS—Do not over-tighten the pedal screws.
