Introduction
This user manual provides essential information for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your HURRISE Children's Bicycle Training Wheels. Designed for bicycles ranging from 12 to 20 inches, these training wheels offer crucial stability and security, aiding children in their bicycle learning process. Proper installation and care will ensure a safe and effective learning experience.
Setup and Installation
The HURRISE training wheels are designed for straightforward installation. All necessary fittings are supplied with the product. Follow these steps carefully to ensure secure attachment.

- Prepare the Bicycle: Ensure the bicycle is stable, preferably on a stand or inverted. Remove any existing rear axle nuts or washers if present.
- Attach Support Arms: Slide one metal support arm onto each side of the bicycle's rear axle, ensuring the flat part of the arm faces inward towards the bicycle frame.
- Secure the Wheels: Attach one training wheel to the end of each support arm using the provided bolts and nuts. Ensure the wheel spins freely but is securely fastened.
- Position and Tighten: Adjust the height of the training wheels. They should be slightly off the ground (approximately 0.5 to 1 inch) when the bicycle is upright, allowing the child to learn balance while still providing support. Once the desired height is achieved, securely tighten all nuts and bolts.

Operating Instructions
The primary function of these training wheels is to provide stability and confidence for children learning to ride a bicycle. They are not intended for permanent use but as a temporary aid.
- Supervision: Always supervise children while they are using the training wheels.
- Riding Surface: Encourage riding on flat, smooth surfaces. Avoid uneven terrain, steep inclines, or areas with obstacles.
- Gradual Learning: As the child gains confidence and balance, they will rely less on the training wheels. The slight elevation of the training wheels encourages them to find their balance naturally.
- Removal: Once the child can consistently balance and ride independently, the training wheels should be removed to allow for further development of cycling skills.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safety of the training wheels.
- Check Fasteners: Periodically inspect all bolts and nuts to ensure they remain tight. Loose fasteners can lead to instability and potential hazards.
- Inspect Wheels: Check the training wheels for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace if necessary.
- Cleanliness: Keep the training wheels clean from dirt and debris, especially around the axle and moving parts. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
- Storage: If removed, store the training wheels in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Address common issues with your training wheels using the following guide.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Training wheels wobble excessively. | Loose attachment bolts or nuts. | Tighten all bolts and nuts securely. Ensure the support arms are flush against the bicycle frame. |
| Bicycle leans too much to one side. | Uneven height adjustment of training wheels. | Adjust both training wheels to be at the same height, approximately 0.5 to 1 inch off the ground when the bicycle is upright. |
| Training wheels not spinning freely. | Debris caught in the wheel mechanism or overtightened wheel bolts. | Clean any debris from the wheel axle. Loosen the wheel bolts slightly, ensuring the wheel still feels secure. |
