Maintenance
Lubrication
Using wax, synthetic, or Teflon lubricants (not non-synthetic oil such as WD-40 or Tri-Flo), follow
these guidelines to lubricate the handcycle:
Brake Lever
Put one drop of oil on the pivot point of the brake lever
Brake
Put one drop of oil on the pivot point of the brake
Brake Cables
Put four drops of oil onto both ends of each cable. Allow oil to soak
back along the line
Axles
Put one drop of oil on the axle and wipe across the surface
Important Note: The Firefly
TM
is designed to require minimal maintenance. Lubrication of
parts other than those indicated above can cause damage and void the warranty.
DO NOT over-lubricate. If oil gets onto the Wheel rim, it will reduce performance of the
v-brake. Longer stopping distances will be required in the event of an emergency stop.
Injury to you or others may occur.
Brake Pad Replacement
If your
Brake Pads
become worn, contact a bicycle shop for replacement pads and assistance, if
needed.
Cleaning
Clean the handcycle with a damp cloth. Do not soak or spray with water or use detergent.
Lubricate as necessary after cleaning.
Replacement Parts
Please contact sales@riomobility.com for information on replacement parts.
Storage
Your Firefly
TM
should be stored in a cool and dry location to maintain lubrication and prevent
corrosion. If you need to store the Firefly
TM
for an extended period of time, the
Battery
must be
fully charged. See section 6 for more information on Battery maintenance.
You may want to retain the box that your Firefly
TM
was shipped in, as it makes a handy container for
storage of your handcycle, your handcycle accessories, the included tools, and the manual. It can
also be used for shipment to the factory in case of maintenance and warranty repairs.
