2. Preparation for use
The preparation for use of these devices must be performed by
qualified personnel both to evaluate the suitability of the product
and to provide the correct instructions to the user.
2.1 Handbike preparation
•The handbike is shipped with the rear wheels not assembled.
•Mount the rear wheels,
properly fixing the rear wheel axle with the
correct bolt.
2.2 Tyre pressure check
A periodical check of the tyre pressure helps to keep the handbike efficient
and more comfortable.
Verify the tyre pressure value according to the value marked on the tyre.
The correct value for high-pressure tyres is approximately 7.5 BAR. The
specific value may vary and is always available on every tyre.
2.3 Checking the brakes
To check the functioning and the efficiency of the parking brakes perform the
following steps:
1. Try raising and spinning each wheel to see if it is blocked with the
brakes deactivated
2. Activate the brakes
3. Try raising and spinning the wheel to see if it is blocked.
If the wheel was blocked on step 1, the brakes’ cables are too tight
, if it is not
locked on step 3, they are too loose (See par. 3.5: adjusting brake tension).
2.4 Checking the accessories
Any accessory required at the time of the configuration of the handbike may
be shipped separately. If so they should be properly installed before using the
handbike.

type of adjustment on the handbike.
