WARNING

SECTION 1 - GENERAL GUIDELINES contains important information for the safe operation and use of this product.

Proper Fit

The handcycle MUST be adjusted to fit the rider. For a proper fit:

•The rider MUST be able to see over the hand crank.

•The rider MUST have a slightly bent elbow when the hand pedals are toward the front of the handcycle (farthest from the riderʹs face).

•The rider MUST have a slight bend at the knee when feet are in the footrests. Feet should be flat against footrest hoop.

•XLT Series requires a 18ʹ turning radius. If leg touches tire during turn and user cannot sense this, a leg guard attachment is recommended.

•The riderʹs knees MUST not obstruct hand crank operation.

Check the seat position, back angle, quick‐release on threaded axles, footrest fore/aft position, hand crank height for proper fit and smooth operation of your handcycle.

Operating Information

Wear your helmet at all times when riding the handcycle.

Before riding your handcycle, check your brakes. Be sure that the brakes and all other features of your handcycle are operating properly.

ALWAYS keep fingers or hands away from the chain while pedaling.

DO NOT let children play near the handcrank or the chain. Otherwise, injury or damage may occur.

The user is responsible for normal upkeep and maintaining the handcycle in proper operating condition.

The manufacturer is not responsible for failure, damage or injury caused by improper operation or maintenance by the end‐user.

To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice transferring activities in the presence of a qualified health care professional before attempting active use of the handcycle.

Before attempting to transfer in or out of the handcycle, every precaution should be taken to reduce the gap distance. Position the handcycle on level ground and as close as possible to the object you are transferring into or out of.

The object you are transferring into or out of MUST also be secured before attempting any transfer.
