The passenger must wear the seat belt while cycling. • Wear an appropriate bicycle helmet. • The Diaz is largely made of steel which is considered non-flammable. The other materials used such as plastic, rubber and the like are not fireproof. •...
BOARDING AND CYCLING Always use the parking brake when mounting or dismounting. The parking brake prevents the bicycle from rolling away which can lead to dangerous situations. • When getting on as a rider, lift your foot to the other side so that your feet are on either side of the wheelchair bike.
CYCLING WITH PEDAL ASSISTANCE Your Diaz is equipped with pedal assistance and the electric motor is turned on as soon as the system is on and you start pedaling. The pedaling becomes lighter.
DISPLAY Your Diaz is equipped with a display that shows status of the battery. The display also shows the speed, trip distance (Trip) and total distance (ODO). With the plus and minus button you can choose the level of support.
HEADREST ADJUSTMENT The headrest can be adjusted in height, depth and angle. • If you want to adjust the height of the headrest, you can slightly loosen the star knob on the backrest, slide the headrest to the desired height and tighten star knob again.
Product Description The Diaz consists of several parts. We describe the most important parts in this section. BIKE FRAME The frame of the Diaz consists of tubular metal construction supplemented by aluminum and stainless steel components. Most metal parts are phosphated and then provided with an impact-resistant powder coating.
With proper chain tension, the Diaz pedals lightly and you hardly hear the chain. If you notice that a chain is too slack, have it adjusted by your Huka dealer.
Various (custom) pedals are optionally available. GEARS Your Diaz is standard equipped with 5-speed or 8-speed gears with back pedal brake, Upon delivery your Huka dealer has checked and adjusted the gears correctly. The explanation of the gear hub can be found in the manual of Shimano.
The luggage carrier is made of aluminum. There are several possibilities to carry luggage. Ask your Huka dealer the right materials are used and the whole is safely mounted. On a Diaz the battery pack is mounted under this carrier.
ELECTRIC PEDAL ASSISTANCE The Diaz is equipped with electric pedal assistance, by means of a middle motor in the frame and a battery pack under the luggage carrier. A display with controls is mounted under the handlebars.
WHEELCHAIR PARKING BRAKE When getting on or of the wheelchair, always put the wheelchair's parking brake on.

Tilt the wheelchair Lift the frame out of Putting frame on stand forward the lock ATTACHING WHEELCHAIR You connect the wheelchair bike by completing the following steps: • Put the wheelchair on the parking brake. • Link the bicycle part to the wheelchair by hanging the hook in the receiving part of the wheelchair.
ACCESSORIES The Diaz can be expanded with various accessories. Think of a headrest, foot fixation, mirrors, spoke cover, or for example other belts besides the standard lap belt. More information about accessories can be found at the Huka dealer who supplied the Diaz.
Optimal use Upon delivery of your new Huka, the components should be properly adjusted to your body and to your needs. To make sure you sit comfortably, there are options to adjust the saddle and handlebars to your wish. SADDLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT 1.
SETTING THE SADDLE ANGLE 1. Using a socket wrench 13, loosen the saddle bolt slightly to allow the saddle to rotate. 2. Tilt the saddle to the desired angle. Tighten the saddle bolt securely Saddle height with quick tensioner Setting the saddle angle Saddles and handlebars should be securely fastened.
HANDLEBAR STEM WITH QUICK RELEASE 1. Slide the locking tab up 2. Pull up the lever 3. Place handlebars in desired position 4. Push the lever closed again until the locking tab clicks into place The lever must close with a resistance of 120-150N. Otherwise, the handlebar may come loose during cycling which can lead to serious injuries.
Optimal riding comfort is created by keeping the wheelchair bike properly maintained. In this chapter we will show you how to do this. We also advise you to do the annual maintenance by your Huka dealer. They check the Diaz for functionality, safety and possible wear.
Check tire pressure and tread regularly for optimal grip on the road. This will prevent unnecessary wear and tear on the tires of your Diaz. It also makes cycling more pleasant and allows you to react better to braking and steering movements.
TIRE PASTE Did you find out that a tire on the Diaz is flat? Your Huka dealer can, of course, patch the tire. But should you want to do it yourself, here are instructions. Required: a repair kit (with tire levers, glue, stickers and sandpaper, trestle or jack, scissors, bicycle pump and a bucket of water).
The front brake is easily adjusted slightly tighter with the adjustment bolt on the inside of the right brake handle. Are the brakes not adjustable or does the Diaz still not brake properly? Then have it checked and adjusted by your Huka...
REPLACEMENT OF PARTS Is your Diaz defective or need parts replaced? We advise you to have this done by your Huka dealer. Partly this prevents you from voiding the factory warranty.
LIGHTING The Diaz features battery-powered LED lighting front with low power consumption and long life. Eventually the batteries will need to be replaced. These are available at various stores. You replace the headlight batteries by unscrewing the screw at the bottom with a screwdriver.
MOVING AND CARRYING THE BIKE To move or carry the bike, it is best to disconnect the bike part first from the wheelchair. The bike part is best grasped at the back by the rack and at the front by the head tube. The wheelchair is best grasped at the back by the steering tube and at the front by the frame tubes.
