Operating Instructions
Using the Parent Push Handle
The adjustable parent push handle allows an adult to steer and control the tricycle. Use it to guide the child and assist with propulsion. The handle can be adjusted for height to suit the parent's comfort.
Foldable Pedals
For younger children who are not yet ready to pedal, the pedals can be folded away, allowing their feet to rest on the footrests or simply hang freely. When the child is ready to pedal, unfold the pedals and ensure they are locked into position.
Steering and Bell
The child can steer the front wheel using the handlebar. The integrated bell can be used for playful signaling.
Safety Harness
Always secure the child with the safety harness when they are seated in the tricycle to prevent accidental falls.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe down the tricycle with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Lubrication: Periodically check and lubricate moving parts such as wheel axles and pedal mechanisms with a light, non-toxic lubricant.
- Inspections: Regularly inspect all screws, nuts, and bolts to ensure they are tight. Check for any signs of wear or damage to the frame, wheels, seat, and handle. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
- Storage: Store the tricycle in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent material degradation.
