ASSEMBLY AND SET-UP

q Inflating the Tires

Tires are inflated when shipped, but they invariably lose some pressure between the point of manufacturing and your purchase.

1Using a bicycle style tire pump equipped for a Schrader- type valve, inflate the tire to the PSI indicated on the sidewall of the tire.

REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE

Check the Razor web site for any updates on the latest repair and maintenance procedures. Turn power switch off before conducting any maintenance procedures.

qAdjusting the Brake

Note: The pressurized air supplies found at gasoline stations are designed to inflate high-volume automobile tires. If you decide to use such

an air supply to inflate your scooter tires, first make sure the pressure gauge is working, then use very short bursts to inflate to the correct PSI. If you inadvertently over-inflate the tire, release the excess pressure immediately.

1To adjust the brake cable play, thread the brake lever adjuster in or out 1/4 to 1/2 turn until the desired brake adjust- ment is attained. Most adjustments are complete at this step. If brake still needs further adjustment, proceed to step 2 for rear or step 4 for front.

37-44 mm

2If the brake has too much slack, loosen the rear anchor bolt and pull the brake wire tighter. The distance of the brake wire between the end of the cable and the anchor bolt should be between 37 and 44 mm.

3If the brake rotor is dragging on the brake pads use your fingers to twist the caliper adjuster in either direction until rotor is centered between pads.

WARNING: The brake is capable of skidding the tire and throwing an unsuspecting rider. Practice in an open area free from obstacles until you are familiar with the brake function. Avoid skidding to a stop as this can cause you to lose control or damage the rear tire.
