STARTING AID FOR THE CANOPY
This trike is equipped with a special starting aid which facili-
tates an easy start, as the pilot no longer needs to guide the
A-risers. The canopy will automatically rise above the pilot on
start-up.
The canopy is hooked into the snap hooks provided for that
purpose. After that, the hooks for the starting aid mechanism
are hooked into the A-risers’ shackles.
As the length of the risers differs for every type of canopy, it is
imperative to individually adjust the length of the starting aid
mechanism by means of the folding buckles.
The optimum length is determined by hooking in the risers and
fastening the hooks for the starting aid mechanism. The risers
are now held vertically upright. In this state, the starting aid
may no longer pull down the A-risers. The starting aid strap
should be slightly slack. The adjustment is made by means of
the folding buckles (see figure 11).
