Safety Measures - Van Raam OPair User Manual

Safety measures

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 (or: not for off-road use).
•
It is not recommended to cycle on a slope steeper than 10%, this carries an
•
increased risk.
A tricycle is sensitive to tipping when riding across a speed bump. Therefore, it is
•
important to always drive straight towards a speed bump.
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.
Always lock the tricycle when leaving it unattended.
•
Prevent cycling without a passenger as much as possible. The tricycle will behave
•
differently, which may lead to instability.
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.
•
Do not leave the tricycle in direct sunlight: the temperature of some parts could
•
exceed 41ºC resulting in possible burns to the skin.
If your tricycle is equipped with the Silent electric motor system, make sure that
•
you get used to riding with the electric support engaged. Be careful when you
turn on the electric support system and make sure you don't get startled by
unexpected behaviour because you turned on the electric support.
