CHECK YOUR TRICYCLE BEFORE YOU RIDE - Check the air pressure,
ride the bike for a few minutes and check the brakes and other safety
equipment. Make sure all components are securely attached. Pay
particular attention to the saddle, handlebar, wheel axle nuts, and pedals.
NEVER USE HEADPHONES OR DEVICES THAT MAY IMPAIR YOUR
HEARING ABILITY WHILE RIDING A BIKE - In many states it is illegal to
use headphones while riding a bicycle.
SAFE RIDING AT NIGHT
We do not recommend riding your tricycle in dark. If you have to ride at
night or in dark areas, please follow these rules:
LIGHTS - You should equip your tricycle with a high quality bicycle head
light for the front, usually mounted on the handle bar, and a blinking red
light mounted on the rear, normally below the saddle. If the rear basket is
installed, mount the rear light or reflector at the rear side of the basket
where it is visible.
REFLECTORS - Your tricycle is equipped with a set of reflectors,
mounted on the front and rear as well as on the wheel spokes. Your
tricycle should reflect light from all directions. Make sure your reflectors
are clean and mounted correctly. Please refer to Major Standard Parts
and Component section of this Manual for more information about the
reflectors. Your bicycle also comes with reflector-mounted pedals.
REFLECTIVE GEAR - We recommend you use additional reflective gear
such as reflective safety vest, reflective helmet, or safety flag. Always
wear light color apparel when riding at night. Remember, the objective is
to see and be seen at distance when riding at night.
SAFETY FLAGS - Safety flags are excellent for riding in high traffic
areas. 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. If you ride your tricycle in your work place, you may run
into wet or slippery spots from time to time. Here are a few tips to help
make riding in wet or slick condition safer:
