Introduction Congratulations on you purchase of your new Husky industrial tricycle. You have purchased a tricycle that has many features and qualities. Please take a few minutes and read through this manual before you ride your tricycle for the first time. Learning about this tricycle and safe riding and maintenance will return many years of enjoyment and useful life.

Mounted on the rear axle and extending about 6 feet above the ground, they allow others to spot a rider from far distance. Safety flags are available at your HUSKY dealers. SAFE RIDING IN WET CONDITIONS You never know when you may get caught in a rainstorm or an afternoon summer shower.

Using gloves when riding your bike helps minimize loss of grip in wet conditions. FENDERS - HUSKY offers fenders as standard equipment for most of its products. Fenders protect the rider from water and mud splashes.

WARNING! Due to size and weight of Husky cargo tricycles, avoid narrow sidewalks and off-road bicycle trails. Also avoid roads or ramps with steep grade. When riding down a ramp or hill, exercise extreme caution and slow down, using both brakes.
The two sections are connected by large bolts and nuts. Make sure these bolts and nuts are tight at all times. Your HUSKY tricycle is classified as an “adult tricycle”, suitable for riding on paved or hard packed dirt surfaces. Because of the special design of the frame and fork, this product offers maximum comfort at lower speed.

HANDLEBAR AND HANDLEBAR STEM The handlebar is designed so that you can enjoy riding your tricycle without having to bend or lean forward, thus reducing pressure on back and neck muscles. The position of the handlebar can be adjusted to raise or lower the grip for maximum comfort.

The size of the wrench depends on the gauge of the spoke. You can buy spokes from bicycle shops or order from Husky. Check your tires by observing any cuts or cracks on the side wall, air pressure, and amount of wear on the thread.

PEDALS Your bicycle is equipped with a set of pedals. Pedals should spin freely around the center spindle, which is attached to the crank arms. If pedals fail to spin or the spindle is not tightly attached to the crank arm, do not ride the bike until the pedal is secured to the crank arm.
Page 15
The crank and bottom bracket parts must be secure. As with the headset and fork, the crank should spin on its axle through the bottom bracket freely and without any friction or resistance. To test the cranking action, have someone lift the rear end of the tricycle. You should be able to crank the bike and spin the right-side rear wheel with one hand.
