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.
Bicycle pedals, like shoes, have right and left sides.
A right side pedal should not be mounted on the left side of the bike
and vice-versa. Mounting on the wrong side will cause the pedal to
loosen or fall, resulting in serious injury. Pedal axles are marked
"R" for right and "L" for left side. The thread direction for left side
pedal is reverse (turn counter clockwise to tighten and clockwise to
loosen). The right side is where crank sprocket and chain is located.
FRONT BRAKE
Your tricycle has a linear-pull front brake (commonly known as a v-brake).
This type of brake is very powerful and responsive. When using the front
brake, exercise caution as you may loose control of the handlebar with a
sudden stop. The front brake can also be used for parking the tricycle
when not in use. To use the parking brake, simply pull the brake lever
and while holding the lever, press on the locking pin. Pulling the lever
again will release the pin.

DRIVE SYSTEM COMPONENTS
CRANK SET AND BOTTOM BRACKET
The crank set and bottom bracket are the main driving component of a
bicycle. Your tricycle is equipped with a hot forged one-piece crank.
Bottom bracket parts (bearings, cones and cups) support the cranking
action.
