7-Speed Adult Tricycle User Manual

Safety Information

Traffic Rules

• ALWAYS obey all applicable local and national laws and regulations while riding.
• It is advisable to equip your tricycle with a warning device such as a horn, bell, or light in case you are riding at times of poor visibility. This is even required in some jurisdictions.
• ALWAYS be alert. People or animals may dart in front of you. Also be careful of passing parked cars, whose doors might open suddenly.
• Be careful at road and rail crossings. Slow down and check both ways for oncoming traffic.

Weather and Clothing

• In wet weather, be careful to avoid sharp turns and allow more distance for braking. Caliper brakes may become less efficient when wet.
• Viribus does not recommend riding your tricycle at night. If you have an emergency that makes it necessary to ride at night, be sure to have proper lights and reflectors. DO NOT ride at night without a front light, rear lights, or front and rear reflectors.
• ALWAYS wear a helmet and other required protective gear that meet safety standards when riding.
• ALWAYS wear shoes when riding your tricycle and avoid loose-fitting clothes.

Safety Checks

• Check whether the brakes are positioned properly before riding.
• Regularly check the reflectors to make sure that they are clean, straight, unbroken, and securely mounted. Riding without reflectors is extremely dangerous.
• Regularly check whether all fasteners and components are securely tightened.
• If any part does not operate properly, discontinue use until its replacement.
• Replace worn or broken parts immediately, especially bent or broken spokes and bent or damaged wheel rims.

Sensible Use

• Be mindful of your speed. Ensure you have sufficient room to brake in an emergency.
• Allow more distance for braking when riding through leaves, loose gravel, or other debris as these can also affect the stopping power of your brakes.
• DO NOT carry packages or objects on your tricycle in a way that obstructs your view of the road.

6. Replace and tighten the short bolts.
7. Continue to tighten the long bolt and its nut until the front fender is locked in place.

8. Installing the Handlebars

Handle the exposed metal shaft carefully to avoid injury. Turn the tricycle frame right side up. Remove the protective cover underneath the stem of the handlebars (3). Loosen the bolt on the top of the stem with a 6mm hex wrench. Slide the stem into the head tube of the main frame, pressing and turning until secure. Retighten the top bolt. Lift the handlebars to an appropriate position and tighten the front bolt.

9. Installing the Derailleur Cable

1. Rotate the right handlebar to a convenient position, tightening its locking bolt with a 2.5mm hex wrench.
2. Thread the derailleur cable from the right handlebar into one of the outer casings (14).
3. Feed one end of this casing into the slots along the down tube and chain stay of the main frame.
4. Feed the other end of this casing into the slot on the right handlebar.

8. Knot the remaining exposed cable appropriately.

Testing the Derailleur

Note: ALWAYS test the derailleur before first use. Confirm the derailleur is secure. Turn the right handlebar to gear '1' (lowest gear). Upshift through gears towards '7' while pedaling. The chain should smoothly move from the largest cog to the smallest. Use the barrel adjuster to fine-tune: loosen to release tension (move chain away from wheel), tighten to increase tension (move chain towards wheel). If the chain cannot be positioned on the smallest cog at the highest gear, adjust the LEFT high-limit screw until the guide pulley and smallest cog align. Downshift towards gear '1', checking smooth operation. Fine-tune with the barrel adjuster. If the chain fails to return to the largest cog at the lowest gear, adjust the RIGHT low-limit screw until the guide pulley and largest cog align vertically. Repeat testing until confident the derailleur is properly adjusted.
