3. Product Features

4. Assembly and Setup

The Mobiclinic Lulu Tricycle requires some assembly. Please refer to the detailed assembly instructions provided in the product packaging. It is crucial to follow these instructions step-by-step to ensure correct and safe assembly. If you encounter any difficulties, consult the manufacturer's support resources.

General Assembly Tips:

• Lay out all components and verify against the parts list in your manual.
• Use the appropriate tools as specified in the assembly guide.
• Ensure all screws, bolts, and fasteners are tightened securely, but do not overtighten.
• Perform a safety check after assembly to confirm all parts are correctly installed and functioning.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Mode Transition

Refer to your product's specific assembly manual for detailed instructions on how to convert the tricycle between the Stroller, Guided Tricycle, and Independent Tricycle modes. Each mode involves adjusting or removing specific components like the parental handle, protective bar, and canopy.

5.2. Using the Parental Handle

The parental push handle can be adjusted to three different heights for comfortable steering. To adjust, locate the adjustment mechanism (usually a button or lever) on the handle and slide it to your desired height, ensuring it locks securely into place.

5.3. Swivel Seat Operation

The 360° swivel seat allows you to easily change the child's facing direction. Locate the release mechanism (typically under the seat) to unlock, rotate the seat to the desired position, and ensure it clicks back into place securely.

5.4. Braking System

To engage the rear wheel brake, press down on the brake lever located near the rear wheels. Ensure both brakes are fully engaged when parking the tricycle. To release, lift the lever.

5.5. Pedal Clutch System

The clutch system on the front wheel allows you to control whether the pedals rotate with the wheel. Engage the clutch when the child is actively pedaling. Disengage the clutch (often by pushing a button or lever on the front wheel hub) when the child is not pedaling, allowing their feet to rest on the footrests without the pedals spinning.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Mobiclinic Lulu Tricycle.

• Cleaning: The fabric components are removable and can be hand-washed with mild soap and cold water. Allow to air dry completely. Clean the frame, plastic parts, and wheels with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the materials.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary. Inspect the wheels and EVA tires for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Ensure the brake mechanism is clean and functioning smoothly.
• Lubrication: Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to moving parts like wheel axles or pedal mechanisms if they become stiff or noisy. Avoid over-lubricating.
• Storage: Store the tricycle in a dry, protected area away from direct sunlight, rain, and extreme temperatures. Prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions can cause material degradation.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your tricycle.

• Tricycle feels unstable or wobbly: Check all assembly points, especially the connections for the wheels, handlebars, and seat. Ensure all fasteners are securely tightened.
• Difficulty steering or wheels not turning smoothly: Inspect the wheels for any debris (e.g., string, hair) that might be caught in the axles. Ensure the wheels are properly aligned and not rubbing against the frame.
• Pedals not engaging/disengaging: Verify the pedal clutch system is functioning correctly. Ensure the mechanism is clean and free of obstructions.
• Brakes are not effective: Check the brake levers and pads for wear. Ensure the brake mechanism is clear of dirt and properly aligned with the wheels.
• Squeaking noises: Identify the source of the squeak. It might be a loose part that needs tightening or a moving part that requires a small amount of lubricant.
