Page 6: Adjustment Of The Tricycle
Damaged or worn out parts The replacement and repair of parts (frame, forks, light, brakes, drive mechanism and the handlebars) should always be performed by an authorised dealer. If not, the guarantee ceases to be valid and you will be personally responsible in the event of possible damage. Specific safety parts should always be replaced by new parts! Adjustment of the tricycle Before using the tricycle, adjust its height to the height of the rider. - Page 7 To adjust the saddle: Open the quick-clamp [A]. Slide the saddle to the correct height. Close the quick-clamp. Make sure clothing cannot get caught in the clamp! If the clamp closes too easily, the clamping force is too low. In this case, open the clamp and tighten the nut [B] a bit more.
- Page 8 Do not slide the handlebars stem further than the markings. If you do so, the tube won't be inserted deep enough into the shaft, MIN INSERT increasing the risk of breakage, which may lead to serious injuries. Steering Position You can tilt the handlebar.
