ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE WORKS MAN SIDE BY SIDE TEAM DUAL TRICYCLE:

Please read this manual carefully prior to performing the simple finishing adjustments and prior to riding. Keep these instructions, as our parts list is contained within this document which you will need for future reference. Carefully remove the tricycle from the carton. You will notice the tricycle is pre-assembled at the factory. Some finishing assembly / adjustments are required.

INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING THE HIGH BACK CAPTAIN’S SEAT:

Your SBST Tricycle comes with thickly padded captain’s seats.

1. Position the seat on the sliding seat track. Do NOT remove clear tubing.
2. With the T-Bolt upside down, insert seat hardware onto the T-Bolt as follows:1) Washer 2) Winged Bracket with the wings facing UP.
3. Thread the “T” bolt (still upside down) into the bottom of the seat. Slide the seat to a comfortable position where leg is slightly bent at the knee when the pedal is at its furthest position away from you. Tighten the bolt so seat is secure and no longer slides across the track. Remember to always check tightness of seat before riding.
   

ADJUST HANDLEBAR:

The Side by Side comes with a steering tiller. It can be positioned for your own riding preference. The stem is not tightened at the factory for height or alignment, so you can set it where you desire by simply lifting the tiller to a comfortable position and tightening the four stem bolts using a 5mm hex key. The stem must be inserted to the minimum insertion line marked on the stem. Make certain the stem is tight and the tiller remains up even while exerting downward pressure. Once straight, tighten the central alignment bolt onthe stem using a 6mm hex or adjustable wrench depending on style of stem so that handlebar and front wheel are aligned. (Please note that stem specifications are subject to change without written notice. Verify the sizes of the hexes before tightening.)

INSTALL BASKET:

1. Remove the basket straps from the rear frame assembly/basket mount.
2. Place basket on top of frame assembly.
3. Place basket straps inside basket and install hardware as it was assembled prior to removing straps

INSTALL REFLECTORS:

• One rear reflector (red) goes on the back of each seat. Peel the backing off, stick to the center of back of seat.
• The front reflector (white square) installs through the front reflector bracket on the headset assembly.
• The wheel reflectors (white arched or rectangular) install on the inside of the two layers of spokes. The spoke has a groove that will be facing you that is placed onto the spoke. Insert a bolt though the hole, sandwiching the spoke between the reflector and the head of the bolt as shown. The bolt will thread into a nut that must be placed into the back of the reflector.

MAINTENANCE TIPS AND NOTES:

• Always inspect your Worksman Cycle to insure that that all nuts, bolts, screws and hardware are tight and that no parts are worn or damaged. Do not attempt to straighten bent forks or frames.
• Lubricate chain every six months or as needed with bicycle chain lube. Replace sprockets when teeth become worn, bent or broken. Keep chain adjusted so there is no more than 3/8” slack. Note: we make the chains tight at the factory, as we do know they will stretch during the break-in period.
• Lubricate crank parts as needed and replace pedals when the surface is worn of if pedal axle becomes “tight” or frozen.
• Check brakes to make sure they are working properly. Adjustments should be made by a qualified bicycle mechanic.
  

Drum Brake: Your Worksman Tricycle is equipped with an automotive type front drum brake. This brake is ideal for slowing your vehicle smoothly and reliably. It is engaged by squeezing the hand lever on the handlebar. To use “Park” feature, when cycle is completely stopped, squeeze hand lever and push in parking plunger button on lever. To disengage, simply squeeze lever until parking plunger button releases. Drum Brakes are pre-adjusted at the factory. Readjust the cable tension as necessary using the adjusting barrel so that wheel spins freely and stops when brake is applied. Always replace worn brake cables (F719 SBST) and damaged hand levers. Internal parts are available for your Drum Brake (L725-1 parts kits and L509 axle set).

Coaster Brake: Foot activated coaster brakes are easy to use and reliable. To activate this internal brake, reverse the pedaling motion until the brake engages. To avoid skidding and maintain control, apply braking gently. This is especially true on wet surfaces. Apply brakes by gradually increasing pedal back pressure. Replace coaster brakes when they become worn. Check chain tension regularly. For models that are ordered with 3 Speed coaster brakes, the operation is the same. Simply select the gear you wish to ride in. First gear is for easier starts and low speed riding. As you change to gear 2 and 3 you will note that pedaling effort increases as does distance traveled with each turn of the crank. If the tricycle begins to roll backward down an incline, be sure to use your front drum brake to stop. Apply coaster brake gently without locking.

Tires: Always check for worn or damaged tires. The Worksman Sup-r-Tires are heavy duty. We recommend 40PSI as proper level of inflation. Replace tires that are worn or cut immediately. Replace tubes that show leaks.

RULES FOR SAFE RIDING AND RESPONSIBLE OPERATION: Carefully read this manual before operating the cycle

• It is the responsibility of the assembler to properly install all parts included and to inspect the cycle prior to riding to insure proper operation.
• Operator is responsible for required maintenance to keep the cycle in good operation condition
• Observe all traffic regulations in the operating environment (stop signs, etc.) Ride in single file. Make certain route is wide enough for SBST.
• Do not ride outdoors, at night. Have appropriate signaling device as needed. (We recommend the 3973 Mega Horn)
• Give Pedestrians the Right of Way. Always look around you to understand the riding environment and hazards.
• Do not carry passengers other than the two riders seated. Check brakes prior to riding. Both riders must understand vehicle’s operation.
• Slow down when approaching turns or intersections. Tricycles are meant for slow pace rides, not for racing.
• Use proper hand signals when turning or stopping. Recommended Safety Options: Approved helmet, lights, audible warning device.
• Never ride the cycle if there are known repairs required. Do not exceed the recommended weight capacity of the cycle (500 pounds)
• Do not stack cargo too high in basket and always secure cargo with appropriate tie down straps.
• Wipe surface of cycle clean and dry when exposed to corrosive substances or environment.
• Operate Cycle at slow speeds; avoid areas with vehicular traffic.
• Operators of cycles should be in good physical condition. Ride at your own risk.
• Wear proper riding attire. Check shoelaces prior to riding so they do not become engaged in the chain and sprocket.
• Ride only on smooth, paved surfaces. Do not use off road. Do not ride on steep grades…designed for relatively flat roads.
• Do not operate a tricycle on steep grades. When riding down grades, apply gentle brake pressure to control descent.
• Always replace worn parts with genuine Worksman Cycle Repair Parts. Keep a maintenance log for your records.
• Designate a Captain. The Captain should keep both hands on the handlebars. SBST steers like a car…always turn slowly.
• SBST trikes have a wider turning radius than cycles with an upright riding position. Plan your course accordingly.
• If motorized, buyer responsible for meeting local laws relating to motorized vehicles and viability of operation.
  • Your cycle is equipped with a turn limiter. This is an assist to keep your front brake cable from getting tangled. It keeps your handlebar in full range of your hands, and provides a maximum turning radius. It assists to help prevent over-steering. It is a safeguard, but not a fail-safe mechanism. Over-steering while moving too fast can cause a three-wheeled vehicle to flip over. Do not make sharp turns. Steering is sensitive, so turn carefully. Make all turns slowly – under 5 mph. Do not try to ride on two wheels. Practice on flat, open areas to become familiar with the tricycles handling characteristics.
  • Tricycles will pull toward one direction when pedaling, typically away from the drive-side wheel that is more dominant. They also pull toward the curb of a street. It is important to point the front wheel in the direction you wish to go. Even with the pulling tendency, it can only go where you point it.
  • The hand brake lever for your front brake (drum if non-motorized, caliper if motorized) is located in the center of the handlebar. It is a right hand lever, designed for the rider on the left to optimal ability to use the brake with their right hand. At least one hand should be on the handlebar at all times. When shifting, one hand should be on the handlebar and the other can be used to shift.
