Care & maintenance
latest state-of-the-art brand name cycles are equipped
with permanent lubrication, which lasts for several
years.
Avoid the chain getting encrusted with dirt or rust.
This critical component must be lubricated
frequently with either a brush and a light-weight
multi-purpose oil or with a special chain spray. Never
use grease for chain care. Remove all super uous oil
with a cloth right away, then you won't have to worry
about splash stains on your clothes when you go on
your next trip. Chains are wear parts.
Check the chain periodically for any signs of wear.
Excessively stretched chains will result in increased
wear of the pinion and chain gear, and will negatively
affect gear shifting comfort in chain gear systems.

3.6 Front wheel

3.6.1 Attachment

The front wheel can be removed in a few easy steps
for repair and maintenance work, and for easy trans-
port of the trike. (Check if your trike is equipped with
quick release levers or not.)
Quick release lever:
Release the V brake and turn the quick release lever
(Fig. 24), then turn the adjustment nut (Fig. 25) until
the wheel can be easily removed. Once the wheel is
replaced, you must attach the block of the V brake to
brake lever again.
Danger!
It is important to tighten the quick release properly,
when mounting the front wheel. Only then can you
be sure that the wheel is securely attached to the fork.
