Basic Maintenance Guidelines
Inspect your handcycle frequently. Failure to inspect your handcycle and make necessary repairs
or adjustments can result in injury to you or to others. Make sure all parts are correctly assembled
and adjusted as indicated in this manual. Immediately replace any damaged, missing, or badly
worn parts.
Make sure all fasteners are correctly tightened as described in this manual. Parts that are not tight
enough can be lost or operate poorly. Over-tightened parts can be damaged or cause damage.
Make sure any replacement fasteners are the correct size and strength. If you have any questions,
please contact sales@riomobility.com.
Have a qualied wheelchair or bicycle technician make any adjustments or repairs for which
you do not have the correct tools, or if you have diculty understanding or performing the
instructions in this manual.
Tires
Frequently check the Tire ination pressure because all tires lose air slowly over time. For
extended storage, keep the weight of the handcycle o the tire.
Use a hand or foot pump to inate the inner tubes. The correct ination pressure range is shown
on the tire sidewall (40 - 65psi [2.8 - 4.6 Barr, 280 - 460 kPa]). A pressure on the lower end of that
range will result in greater traction and a smoother ride.
Replace worn or defective tires and inner tubes. Follow the same procedure as for a bicycle tire, or
vist a qualied wheelchair or bicycle mechanic.
