•
A trikes widest point is behind you, if the front goes by an obstacle there is no guarantee that the rear wheels will also
clear. When riding, you must give clearance to the edge of the road or sidewalk. Stay clear of potholes and be aware
that you can lose control if any wheels should drop into a hole or ditch.
•
Always ride defensively. Watch out for the unexpected. This means everything from cars to children, pets and rough
road surfaces. Be prepared to avoid danger. ALWAYS WEAR A BICYCLE HELMET. We recommend buying your
helmet from a dealer that can fit and instruct you on the correct way to wear a helmet. Protecting your head is your
primary safety responsibility.
•
Always wear a CPSC approved bicycle helmet.
CHECKLIST BEFORE RIDING:
•
Check your tires for proper air pressure. If you need to inflate them do not inflate over the recommended air pressure
on the side wall of your tires. If using a compressor or the air hose at a gas station, be very careful not to blow the tire
off the rim. Check the hardness of the tire and stop inflating to check the air pressure. Do not over inflate. Do not ride
on flat or underinflated tires. Riding on flat or underinflated tires can cause injury, as well as, damage to the tire, tube
and wheels of your Hand-Trike.
•
Test your brakes and make sure they stop the trike. If you have any doubts do not ride your trike and see your dealer.
All Hand-Trikes are equipped with front “coaster” brake and front “caliper” parking brake as standard equipment. Under
no circumstance should the brakes be removed. When stopping your Hand-Trike always use the front coaster brake for
a safe smooth stop.
•
Check that the handlebar is tight and that the ends are plugged. Now check the saddle for tightness.
•
Safety check: Apply your parking brake and rock your Hand-Trike back and forth. If you hear or feel a movement
coming from the fork or front wheel or any other part of the trike, DO NOT RIDE it, have your dealer or qualified
mechanic check the Hand-Trike.
PRECAUTIONS:
•
A trike does not handle like a bicycle; therefore, you cannot lean into a turn. All wheels must be on the ground at all
times. Do not make sudden changes of direction, you could unbalance the trike and have an accident.

WARNING:
Avoid riding over curbs. Watch for and avoid potholes, gratings and other road hazards. Walk your Hand-
Trike over railroad tracks, stairs, ditches or other such rough conditions. Do not attempt to ride up or down an incline with an
ice or oil film. Failure to do so may result in tire failure, loss of control, or other mechanical failures and may result in a serious
or fatal accident.
•
We suggest you practice riding in a quiet area to get the feel of the trike.
•
When beginning to ride, stay at a slow speed. You must acclimate yourself to the handling and turning of this three
wheeler. If you feel insecure, slow down, and proceed at a slower pace. With practice, you will get comfortable riding
and stopping.
•
Never ride with your ears covered with earphones or anything else that would prevent hearing. Hearing your
surroundings is important for your safety.
•
We recommend that you not ride at night, or at times of reduced visibility. If you should ride at night or during reduced
visibility, you must outfit your trike with a front white light and a rear red light. Relying solely on reflectors is not
adequate protection. Most municipalities require lights for night riding. Your bicycle dealer can help you in selecting the
correct lighting system for your needs.
•
Avoid riding on rainy days since you don't have the same control, handling, and stopping power as on a dry day.
•
Always ride with the flow of traffic, never against traffic
WARNING: DO NOT EVER Carry A CHILD, PERSON OR PET on your Hand-Trike!
They could be seriously injured by
the turning wheel and/or the moving parts. The trike is made for one person and is not built to hold a passenger.
DO NOT
EVER
stand on the seat or frame of the Hand-Trike.
DO NOT EVER
carry any items that may obstruct your view or prohibit
you from operating your Hand-Trike properly.
