Your Sportster handlebars are adjustable in two different ways: 1) The stiffness/ease of steering can be adjusted - you can make your Sportster harder or easier to steer by adjusting your “Top Cap Bolts” (number 29 in the technical illustration on pg 18).
Page 17
Seating Position Adjustment Your Sportster’s seat is adjustable on two different planes: incline/recline angle of the seat back and fore/ aft positions at the base. Your seating position can adjust anywhere from 35-70 degrees depending on where the seat bracket is located on the frame.

•Brake evenly using both hands. Your TerraTrike is designed with front brakes only. You will expe- rience brake-steer if you brake only one side. •Although your TerraTrike is suitable for riding on dirt roads if equipped with more rugged tires, it is not designed for all-terrain, off-road use, or canyoneering.
Page 19
•Steering: All of the steering parts tend to settle in after the first 100 miles or so. This may require some tightening of nuts and bolts. •Cleaning: Your TerraTrike will operate for years to come if you keep it regularly cleaned and lubed! Water and soap won’t hurt your TerraTrike, provided you dry and lubricate right after cleaning. If you need to wash the seat mesh, remove it from the seat frame, wash it in the gentle cycle and let it air dry.
