Do the same at the rear wheel. Ensure there is no unintended movement in either the rear
wheel bearings or the steering bearings.
•
Check the drive levers for sideways unintended movement.
•
Check the Drive Module chains, they should be tight with no slack or sagging evident.
•
Check the operation of the brakes and steering.
•
Check Hydraulic brake hose for physical damage and leakage. If the hose is damaged do not
ride your Mountain Trike until it has been repaired by your Mountain Trike dealer
If the wheels, Steering Handle, rear wheel steering cable attachment or drive lever bearings
appear loose, or if you discover that anything is not as it should be, do not ride the Trike and
consult your Mountain Trike dealer.
Suspension
There is an individual shock absorber for each wheel of the Trike. The shock absorber units have
been factory set. (There are however several adjustments that can be made to suit personal
preference). Your Mountain Trike dealer can help you set the suspension for you needs.
Tyre Pressure
Check that the tyre pressures are even and are suited to the terrain and the type of riding being
undertaken. The range of acceptable tyre pressures is printed on the tyre, depending on the
manufacturer’s specification. Recommended tyre pressures for different riding conditions:
•
Wet mud, wet grass, gravel
20 - 25 psi
(1.38 - 1.72 bar)
•
Dry dirt, dry grass
25 - 35 psi
(1.72 - 2.41 bar)
•
Wet street
30 - 35 psi
(2.07 - 2.41 bar)
•
Dry street
35 - 40 psi
(2.41 - 2.76 bar)
WARNING -
Failure to ride with the appropriate tyre pressures can increase the risk or
punctures, damage to the Trike or could possible cause the rider to lose control and fall.

Transferring in and out
Due to the presence of the extra features and systems on a Mountain Trike, special care must be
taken whilst transferring in and out. Whilst every effort has been made to make the transfer as
straight forward as possible, some extra consideration should be made before first attempting to
transfer.
Choose a piece of smooth, flat ground to perform the transfer with sufficient space to use
transfer aids if necessary and allow assistance if required.
