The suspension's pre-tension is reduced by turning the
ring in clockwise direction. Turning the ring in anti-
clockwise direction will screw the ring tighter against
the spring, thus increasing pretension. The adjustment
process is simpli ed signi cantly if the spring is turned
in conjunction with the ring.
Danger!
Ensure that the suspension de ection does not cause
any part of the suspension to come into contact with
the frame, mud guard or basket. Never put any load
on the vehicle while reaching into the suspension
assembly with your hands or a tool. The suspension
de ection could crush your hand!
2.11 Lighting system
Check for proper function of the lighting system. Make
sure that all cables are connected and all plug connec-
tions are correct. Check the following if the electrical
system is not functioning:
• Is the cable detached?
• Is the cable damaged?
• Are all contact surfaces clean?
• Are all bulbs intact?
Defective bulbs must be replaced with the same bulb
type. Detached cables must be reattached/reconnected.
Note:
The lighting system must be fully operational
during daylight hours.

2.13 Activating & deactivating
the dynamo
Press down on the dynamo on its head or groove
(Fig. 30) to tilt its friction edge onto the tire. Pull the
dynamo away from its locking point on the wheel to
deactivate it.
For integrated hub dynamos, toggle the switch to
"ON" or "AUTO".
Danger!
Never activate or deactivate the dynamo while travel-
ing. You must only do so at standstill.
2.14 Gear system
Your trike is equipped with a hub gear system.
A detailled manufacturer's description is provided in
the attachment. Instructions for the operation and
adjustment of the gear system can be found in the
appended manufacturer's description. Please make
sure to read the documentation before rst use.
2.15 Chain
Only a properly tensioned chain can guarantee optimised
power transmission from the pedals to the driving
wheel on the rear axle. Chain tension appropriate for
driving if the chain can be moved about 1 cm up and
down at its midpoint (Fig. 6) between rear axle and
bottom bracket.
If the chain sits too loosely, remove the 4 screws on
the dropout and pull back on the axle housing to tension
the chain.
Please use a low viscosity silicon oil for chain care.
Apply the oil only to the rollers in the centre of the
