TRIKE ASSEMBLY NOTES
Plastic bushings 70250 (page 6-6) are installed into the Foot Pedals. It is important that the
bushing fit smoothly into the 1” hole in the Pedal and over the Pedal Mount Tube (40430).
If necessary open up the hole in the pedal with a round file or use sandpaper.
Once assembled, the pedals should rotate freely on the tube.
TRIKE ASSEMBLY
Ideally, assemble the Sub Assemblies, then assemble those sections.
Once Ti
Once Tike is together you will need a strap or cord connected to the back of the Root Tube and
the center of the Main Axle 40311. This will prevent the assembly from back onto itself.
Once the engine and wings installed this strap can be removed.
The engine will be the last component installed onto the Trike unit.
The Complete Fuel sytem and any Instruments should also be installed at this time.
Ideally the Trike should be fully complete before installing the Wings.

Inner Tube.
If a Steerable Nose Wheel Kit is to be installed, those components are assembled with the
