Operating Instructions

Parent Steering System

In Infant and Guided Trike modes, the parent handle features a built-in steering system allowing adults to control the direction of the trike. This ensures a smooth and safe ride for younger children.

Free Wheel System

The front wheel includes a built-in free wheel system. This allows the child to rest their feet on the pedals without them rotating when the parent is pushing the trike, preventing accidental foot injuries.

Rear Parking Device

The trike is equipped with a rear parking device (brakes) for seamless navigation and secure stops. Engage the brakes when parking or when you need the trike to remain stationary.

Adjustable Seat Height

The seat height is adjustable to accommodate your child's growth and ensure proper leg extension for pedaling or balancing in different modes.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Globber Explorer Trike.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the trike with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and quick-release mechanisms to ensure they are secure. Inspect wheels and tires for wear and tear.
• Lubrication: Apply a small amount of lubricant to moving parts like wheel axles if they become stiff.
• Storage: Store the trike in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The foldable design allows for compact storage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Globber Explorer Trike, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Difficulty Converting Modes: Ensure all quick-release buttons are fully pressed and components are aligned correctly before attempting to convert. Do not force parts.
• Loose Parts: Regularly check all connections. If any part feels loose, re-secure it according to the assembly instructions. If a part is damaged, discontinue use and contact customer support.
• Steering Issues: In parent-controlled modes, ensure the parent handle is securely attached and the steering mechanism is engaged. For child-controlled modes, check for any obstructions in the steering column.
