CRICKET STEPPER OWNER’S MANUAL
MECHANICAL FUNCTION
THE MECHANICAL ASPECTS OF CRICKET STEPPER
The user applies force on to the foot platform,
which is attached to the paddle levers. As force pushes down from the starting upper position, the hinge levers, hinged at the hinge joint, and in turn, the force is transmitted both to the hydraulic piston through the piston bar and to the crankshaft at the same time. The force is therefore divided and shared between the hydraulic piston and the crankshaft through the piston bar. Because of this configuration, the user is able to move forward since the interlocked crankshaft rotates the chain assembly, which is further interlocked with the rear axle, and in turn, turns the back wheels to create the forward motion. The crankshaft also, pushes the other piston up to starting position in order for the cycle to start over and continue again.

HOW TO RIDE CRICKET STEPPER FOR BEGINNERS
LEANING HOW TO RIDE CRICKET STEPPER. INFORMATION FOR BEGGINERS.
WARNING: Before you use CRICKET STEPPER, it is recommended you have a
CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) approved cycling helmet or other helmet to protect your head, and all other safety gear for your protection mentioned in this manual. Reference on SAFETY section (pg 3-5). If you have any health issues, check with your doctor to make sure you are physically healthy enough to exercise.
It is always recommended for your safety, to start the learning process of riding your CRICKET
STEPPER, by doing a practice run in a controlled environment. Pick a large spot, with no obstacles, traffic, or pedestrians. Ride your CRICKET STEPPER until you feel comfortable enough to go on a “real ride”, make sure that you make several starts and stops and right and left turns.
When you attempt to ride CRICKET STEPPER, start by standing in the back of the tricycle
facing the front wheel; grab the handle grips with the corresponding hands, (left and right). Look for the crank shaft position under each pedal. Always step up on the pedal on the side where the crank shaft is facing nearest to the rear side of the tricycle, (can be the left or the right pedal). Place the corresponding foot on the correct pedal and press down until it reaches its lowest limit. Then give a push forward with the other foot on the ground surface to propel the tricycle forward. Once the tricycle starts moving forward, proceed to place the corresponding foot on the upper pedal. Press the upper pedal all the way down until your leg is completely straight. Do not press the opposite pedal until the leg you are pushing down is completely straight. Every time you press the upper pedal down you need to wait until your leg is straight before pushing the opposite pedal. This procedure allows the crank shaft to rotate 360 degrees automatically to continue moving forward every time you press the upper pedal FULL STRIDE.
When you need extra power to move the tricycle forward, press the pedal where the crank shaft
is nearer to the back of the tricycle about half way or 3 quarters of the way. The crank shaft will rotate backwards. This procedure allows the crank shaft to readjust automatically; and the opposite pedal will go up simultaneously ready to press down and continue pedaling forward giving you extra power when you need it. Always press the upper pedal all the way down until your leg is completely straight before pressing the opposite pedal.
Once you have both feet securely on top of both pedal shoes, position your feet near the middle
of the pedal platform. You can always move your foot position while riding to find the ideal spot for your riding style. Always try to keep your entire foot placed in the center or towards the front of the foot platform. Your foot should never be outside the foot platform.
WARNING: NEVER LET YOUR BODY WEIGHT REST AT THE END TIP OF THE
PLATFORM SHOE. This can make the tricycle to flip backwards. IT CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR WORSE.

CRICKET STEPPER OWNER’S MANUAL
HOW TO RIDE CRICKET STEPPER FOR BEGINNERS (Cont).
The handle bar helps balance your body while riding. The Handle bar and Stem can be adjusted
according to the height of the owner/ user for a comfortable ride. (Reference on pages 11-12 ).
CRICKET STEPPER step motion is similar to a stair stepper. Turning left and right and braking
on CRICKET STEPPER is similar to a regular bicycle. Always reduce the speed when turning.
WARNING
DON’T MAKE SHARP TURNS AT HIGH SPEEDS. Sharp turns can cause the tricycle
to roll over, and THIS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURIES OR WORSE.
To start pedaling, press the upper pedal ALL THE WAY DOWN until your leg is completely
straight, when the upper pedal is going down, you will feel the opposite pedal going up, you need to let your feet move with the motion of the pedals, ALWAYS WITH FULL STRIDES.
IMPORTANT
NOTE:
WARNING: NEVER LET YOUR BODY WEIGHT FULLY REST AGAINST THE HANDLE BAR OR
STEM. They can bend and break. IT CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR WORSE.
For the correct propulsion function mechanism, Make sure, when riding CRICKET STEPPER, you allow the Crank Shaft mechanism to complete the 360 degrees rotating cycle by pressing the pedals all the way down ON EVERY STEP. CRICKET STEPPER Crank Shaft mechanism is designed to rotate forward every time you press the upper pedal ALL THE WAY DOWN, with FULL STRIDES. If the user presses the upper pedal only half way, and then presses the other pedal, the Crank Shaft will rotate backwards freely automatically, and the highest pedal will automatically re adjust to the upper position, then by pressing the upper pedal ALL THE WAY DOWN FULL STRIDE, until your leg is completely straight, you can continue with the rotating movement forward.

HOW TO RIDE CRICKET STEPPER FOR BEGINNERS(Cont).
Once you learn how to ride properly, you will benefit from cardio workout, toning, and firming
your entire lower body. All this outdoors!! In your favorite park, beach, or around your neighborhood.
(WRONG) POSITION OF THE CRAN SHAFT TO CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD
(RIGHT) POSITION OF THE CRANK SHAFT TO CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD
B
Sometimes, during the learning period, when you stop CRICKET STEPPER completely, and you
want to restart pedaling to move forward, you might experience the crankshaft gets stuck in a position where it does not move neither forward or backward, or the crankshaft rotates backwards freely when you press the upper pedal. This happens because the crankshaft did not reach the right automatic adjustment when you pressed the lowest pedal. All you have to do to restart moving forward is, leave your foot on the pedal nearest to the ground (lowest pedal), (it can be the left or the right foot), and use your other foot to push on the ground surface to propel the tricycle forward. This small and quick push will make the tricycle move forward enough to allow the crankshaft to automatically re adjust the highest pedal to reach the upper position, once the highest pedal reaches the upper position, you can continue moving forward, by pressing the upper pedal ALL THE WAY DOWN until your leg is completely straight (Wait for this leg to be completely straight before you press the opposite pedal). Every time you press down the pedals must be with FULL STRIDES. SEE REFERENCE IMAGES BELOW ( A ) ITEM 1 FOR THE RIGHT POSITION OF THE CRANK SHAFT TO CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD AND ( B ) ITEM 1 FOR THE WRONG POSITION OF THE CRANK SHAFT TO CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD. This learning process will only be needed until you practice enough and learn how to ride CRICKET STEPPER. It will take a couple of tries before you get the hang of riding it.

HANDLE BAR ADJUSTMENT
CRICKET STEPPER’S handle bar can be adjusted according to the height of the
user. The angle of the handle bar can be adjusted forward or rearward according to the need of
the rider. By following the next steps 1 to 3.
STEP 1: Use a 6mm Allen key, to loosen the 4 bolts located on the top of the stem. SEE IMAGE
BELOW (A) ITEMS 1, 2, 3, AND 4.
STEP 2. Grab the handle grips IMAGE BELOW (B) ITEM 1. Move the handle bar forward or
rearward to the position you feel most comfortable. SEE IMAGE BELOW (B) ITEM 2. FACTORY SETTING RECOMMENDED (about 42 degrees related to main frame).
STEP 3. Tighten the 4 bolts to keep the handle bar at your desired angled position. (When
tightening the bolts, don’t tie just one bolt at a time, you have to tighten each one in a random pattern until you get the handle bar firm in the appropriate angle adjustment).
After the handle bar has been properly adjusted, owner/user must further test for the correct adjustment. Stand in front of your Tricycle, clamp the front wheel between your legs, and Place your hands on the corresponding handle bar grips, (right and left). Apply force back and forth on the handle bar to make sure it is appropriately tightened. If there is any movement from the final adjustment, retighten the bolts. You need the bolts to be tight enough so that the handle bar doesn’t move when you ride. However, you do not want it to be so tight that you cannot remove the bolts later or the thread of the bolts becomes stripped.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If your Cricket Stepper came with desinflated tires, it is very important you know how to inflate and align the rear tires with the rim. If the back wheels are not aligned properly they will lose the center of the rotation. Because the tricycle has two wheels on the rear, the frame will follow the uneven rotation of the wheels; this uneven movement is transferred from the frame to the handlebar when riding. This uneven rotation will feel like you are riding on a bumpy surface. If you get a flat tire, and you are not sure how to align the tires with the rims, It is very important you take the cricket to a local bike mechanic to inflate the tires properly and align with the rim. Otherwise you will experience an uncomfortable ride. REFER TO PAGES 17-18 FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON INFLATING AND ALIGNING THE TIRES WITH THE RIM.
