Safety Measures - Van Raam Fun2Go 2 User Manual

Safety measures

There should always be a supervising person as the main driver of the bike. This
•
main driver is always responsible for the safe use of the bike.
Ensure the tricycle is in good condition each time before using it. Check before
•
each ride that the brakes are in order. Check the lighting and make sure there is
enough tyre pressure.
Regularly check if the wheels, the handlebars and the saddle are properly fixed
•
and also whether all screw joints are tight.
Only use the tricycle on a solid and level surface.
•
It is not recommended to cycle on a slope steeper than 10%, this carries an
•
increased risk.
It is advised to drive slowly on slopes, especially when riding backwards. When
•
braking while riding backwards, it is advised to use a dosed braking force. When
doing so, avoid the bike losing contact with the road.
In the case you stand still on a slope or ramp, proceed to drive off slowly. While
•
driving off you can lean forwards to prevent the front wheel being lifted.
Are you rolling backwards on a slope? Then brake densely to prevent the front
•
wheel from losing contact with the road surface.
Avoid riding on steep slopes when your bike is fitted with one of the following
•
accessories on the rear of the bike: Walking Holder bracket, wheelchair holder, or
loaded baskets. In these cases the front wheel of your bike may lose contact with
the road more easily.
Make sure that wide trousers or lose hanging clothing don't get caught in the
•
chain, spokes or pedals.
Do not use a pressure washer or a steam cleaner for the cleaning of the tricycle.
•
Block the tricycle to stop it from moving when you are getting on or off the
•
tricycle. Do this by using the parking brake and holding the tricycle. See the
chapter "Before the first use" for proper use of the parking brake.
Always lock the tricycle when leaving it unattended.
•
Make sure that you do not reach a dangerous speed when driving downhill and
•
entering tunnels. Brake in time and bike at a moderate speed.
In case of pregnancy, extra care is required owing to a higher risk of injury.
•
Please note that brake discs can become hot during braking. Be careful not to
•
touch the brake discs shortly after a bike ride.
