- Page 2 Cautions/Safety: Stop! Make sure to read and understand this manual completely before riding your TerraTrike. We want to keep you riding your TerraTrike safely for endless miles and years to come. So, always follow these safety precautions for each ride: ??Inspect your TerraTrike each time before riding.
- Page 3 Assembly & Setup Information: When your TerraTrike arrives, carefully unpack the contents and inspect for any damage that may have occurred during shipping. If anything is amiss, contact the WizWheelz Sales Office immediately at (269) 945-5581. Checklist When you unpack, this is what you should have:...
- Page 4 Assembly & Setup: You will need a bit of space for the assembly. Make sure you have room to work. Hint: If you don’ t have a workbench or bike stand, push the top flaps of the box in, and use it as a work stand.
- Page 5 Step 3. Putting on the rear wheel: Tools: none. Install the quick release skewer in the axle with a spring on either side (small end of spring points in). Loosen both sides of the skewer so that the dropouts (the slotted ends of the frame to hold the rear wheel) can be completely seated on the rear axle.
- Page 6 Step 5. Handlebar attachment/adjustment: Tools: 9/16” socket or adjustable wrench, 3/16” Allen wrench. Attach the steering brace to the frame using the nut and washer supplied. Tighten it enough so that the handlebar does not turn freely, but don’ t over tighten it. You’ ll loosen this later. Loosen the bolts in the steering clamp.
- Page 7 The alignment of the front wheels is a crucial adjustment. A misaligned TerraTrike can become very unstable at high speeds, and cause premature tire wear. Make sure that the tires are properly inflated. Make sure the handlebar stays parallel with the outrigger tubes of the frame during the following adjustments.
- Page 8 Step 7. Derailleur/chain set up: Tools: 5mm Allen wrench, Phillips head screwdriver. If you don’ t have experience with derailleurs, don’ t pull your hair out over adjusting these things, as this can be difficult. Please seek the assistance of your local bike shop! Rear derailleur setup: Screw the rear derailleur onto the frame.
- Page 9 Now, put both shift levers in the lowest (horizontal) position. Route the rear (right) shift cable: ??From the shifter on the handlebar ??Under the steering system ??To the cablestop on the underside of the maintube ??Use the next piece of cable housing at the rear of the maintube ??Over the idler wheel axel, and up through the frame/chainstay triangle ??Through the first cablestop on the chainstay ??Then along the chainstay...
- Page 10 Push the derailleur arm so that the pulley wheel lines up with the center of the largest sprocket. Turn the bottom adjustment screw to secure this position. You may need to loosen the bottom adjustment screw to get it lined up. (See Fig. 11) Very bad things can happen to your rear wheel (the chain could shift into the spokes, and cut them) if this adjustment is not correct.
- Page 11 Route the chain from: ??The back of the smallest rear sprocket ??In front the top derailleur pulley ??Behind and under the lower derailleur pulley ??Over the outside groove of the rear idler wheel ??Under the outside groove of the front idler wheel ??Under and around to the top of the small front chainring ??Through the front derailleur ??Under the inside groove of the front idler wheel...
- Page 12 Route the front (left) shift cable: ??From the handlebar ??Under the steering system ??To the cablestop at the rear of the boom tube ??Through the cable housing and stops at the front of the boom, and to the derailleur Make sure all slack is out of the system, and tighten. You might need to shift it a couple of times to get rid of slack.
- Page 13 Rear derailleur adjustment: Now, spin the crank forward, and move the rear (right) shifter one click (one click = one gear). If the chain does not move to the next sprocket, turn the adjustment barrel out, or counterclockwise, until the chain shifts. Continue to shift to all of the gears. Adjust the barrel as necessary to insure accurate shifting.
- Page 14 Step 9. Brake setup: Tools: 5mm Allen wrench, the four Jacks from a deck of cards. Slide the four Jacks in between the outer (stationary) brake pad and the disc rotor. Hold the brake caliper square to the cards/disc rotor. Apply just enough pressure to hold them there without bending the disc rotor out of shape, and tighten the caliper mounting bolts.
- Page 15 Step 10. Attaching the seat: Tools: 13mm socket or adjustable wrench, 6mm Allen wrench. First put the end caps in the seat frame. If you are installing a flag, omit one top end cap (depending on what side of the road you ride on). Then attach the seat mesh to the seat frame. Insert the ends of the seat frame into the narrow pockets in the seat mesh.
- Page 16 Fig. 20 Next, connect the lower seat stays by screwing the bolts through the ends of the lower seat stays into the forward mounting holes on the top side of the dropouts, with the washers in between the seat stays and the frame. (See Fig. 21) There are two mounting holes on each dropout.
- Page 17 Riding: Note: If the beverage you just finished was alcoholic, don’ t drink and Trike. ??Getting on & off: Do not use the steering system to support your weight while getting on and off!!! Use the wheels or seat instead. The handlebar was not designed to hold your weight.
- Page 18 ??Pads: Unless you are routinely making transcontinental jaunts, the brake pads should last many seasons. If they do ever need replacing, contact your local shop or WizWheelz to order replacements. ??Shifters: The shift cables will also stretch when new. You may need to adjust them occasionally as they break in.
