Hardshell seat
CAUTION:
It is possible to damage
the Hardshell seat if these
instructions are not followed.
Not all parts of it are capable of
handling the weight of a full grown
person trying to get out of a trike.
Seats damaged in this way are not
covered under warranty.
!
Getting On
When attempting to sit in the Vortex, first place
one foot either side of the boom facing towards
the pedals.
Then bring the cruciform forwards so the cross
axle touches the back of your calves.
Then bend your legs placing one hand on the
seat and the other on the wheel.
When doing this, ensure you place your hand
on the front half of the wheel and apply pressure
going away from you.
Due to the Vortex’s low profile it is slightly more
difficult to get into than the other models.
Therefore please take extra care when getting in
and follow the method shown.
Avoid:
•
Applying any pressure to the handle bars.
•
Applying pressure to a single side of the
seat.
•
Falling backwards onto the seat.
•
Sitting towards the front edge of the seat.
•
Sitting with items in the back pockets of
clothing.
