This manual describes a Dynacraft trike, a three-wheeled vehicle designed for young children, specifically for ages 2-4 with a maximum weight capacity of 60 lb (27 kg). The trike's primary function is to provide a safe and enjoyable riding experience for toddlers, helping them develop balancing skills and learn about steering. It is intended for recreational use on smooth, level ground or gentle slopes.
The Dynacraft trike is a child's riding toy that operates by the rider pedaling with their feet. Unlike bicycles, it has three wheels, offering greater stability for young children who are still developing their balance. The trike does not have a traditional brake system; instead, children stop by ceasing to pedal and placing their feet on the ground. This design encourages children to learn balance and control at their own pace. The seat is positioned low to the ground to facilitate this learning process and ensure that children can easily reach the ground with both feet while seated. The handlebars allow for steering, providing a basic introduction to directional control.
The trike is designed for ease of use by young children, but it requires continuous adult supervision. It is crucial for adults to set limits on speed and appropriate locations for play. The trike should only be used on smooth, level surfaces or gentle slopes, and never near motor vehicles, streets, swimming pools, hills, steps, or sloped driveways. Riding in loose dirt, sand, gravel, rain, snow, or mud is not recommended as it can damage moving parts and impair traction and stopping ability.
Safety is paramount when using the trike. Riders must always wear a properly fitted helmet, appropriate clothing, and shoes. Barefoot riding or wearing sandals is prohibited, and shoelaces or other fasteners should be tied and kept away from the wheels. Only one rider is allowed on the trike at a time, and it should never be used to tow anything. Night riding and riding in wet conditions are to be avoided due to impaired visibility and traction.
The manual emphasizes that the trike has no brake, so riders must avoid hills, stunts, jumps, bumps, sharp turns, drainage grates, trick stages, ramps, half pipes, skateboard parks, and empty swimming pools. It also warns against placing any items at the back of the trike, likely to prevent instability or entanglement.
The assembly process is designed for adults, with an estimated assembly time of 20 minutes. The manual explicitly states that children should not handle parts or assist in assembly due to small parts, sharp edges, and points that pose a choking hazard. Tools required for assembly include a Phillips Head Screwdriver and an Adjustable Wrench. Proper installation of the handlebar and securing it to the fork are critical to prevent injury.
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the trike's safety and longevity. Before each ride, an adult should perform a thorough inspection of the trike and its components. This checklist includes:
In the event of a crash or accident, even a minor one, the trike must be thoroughly inspected before being ridden again. Any problems identified during inspection must be corrected before the trike is used.
For cleaning, the trike should be wiped down with a mild soap and water solution and a clean cloth, then rinsed with water to remove any soap residue. Storing the trike indoors or in a covered location is recommended to protect it from long-term exposure to rain, excessive sun, or other inclement weather, which can damage components.
The manual also includes a warning against using non-original or non-recommended replacement parts or accessories, as this could lead to an unsafe condition, serious injury, or death, and will void the warranty. For any issues or missing parts, customers are advised to contact Dynacraft customer service directly rather than returning the item to the store.
