Disc Brakes
If fitted with a front disc brake, the components should already be attached. However, please check all connections before attempting to ride the scooter. Secure tightly the 6 bolts that hold the disc to the front wheel hub and the 2 bolts that hold the brake mechanism to the fork. Insert the front wheel into the fork dropouts ensuring that the disc fits into the brake mecha- nism between the enclosed brake pads. Secure the front wheel to the scooter by tightening the quick release mechanism and clamping the lever to the closed position. Please refer to section 6 for further instruction on quick release mechanisms.
Next, attach the cable to the brake lever by inserting the cable end into the cable end holder after the barrel adjuster and lock nut slots have been aligned with the cable end holder. After the cable is secured to the lever, rotate the barrel adjuster and lock nut so the slots no longer line up. Ensure the cable hous- ing seats appropriately into the end of the barrel adjuster and check for any kinks or damage.
Slide the exposed brake cable through the rotating rod located on the caliper body and seat the housing into the same stop. Insert the cable into the spring and spring boot.
