Zap DX Pre-Ride Checklist, qü 7. On the PowerBike, check the Quick Release levers on both wheels

Pre-Ride Checklist

It is a good idea to periodically go through this checklist to make sure that your ZAP Power System and your bike are in proper adjustment for safety and optimal performance. It is imperative that you review this checklist before your first ride. Although your PowerBike® or ElectriCruizer® has passed our Quality Assurance proce- dure, things can happen during ship- ping which may alter the adjustment of the system.

qü 1. Check Tire Pressure: The tires on your PowerBike® should be at their maximum tire pres- sure (65 PSI-pounds per square inch), and the tires on your ElectriCruizer® should be at 40 PSI. If you installed a kit on your own bike, then check to see that the tire pressure is at the recommend- ed value for the tires you have.

qü 2. Check Motor Alignment: Make sure the roller is centered on the tire so that there isn’t a possibility of one of the motors rubbing against the tire. If it needs adjustment, simply loosen the motor mount bolts, center the system and re-tight- en. Wheels should be running straight & true.

qü 3. Check Motor Engagement: Make sure that the roller engages and compresses the tire by approximately 1/16” when the cam lever is in the down position. If it is more or less, loosen the motor mount bolts and adjust by moving the sys-

tem up (if more than 1/16”) or down (if less than 1/16”). Then re-tighten the motor mount bolts.

qü 4. Check Brake Pad Alignment: Make sure your front and rear brake pads are not rub- bing the rim, tire or spokes. If they are, we rec- ommend having them adjusted by a professional bike mechanic at a bicycle store.

qü 5. Check Battery Tray Stability: Make sure the battery is properly secured to the tray. Attach the Velcro flaps to the sides of the Battery Tray. Route the strap under the battery tray and thread through the “D” ring. With the battery secure, check to see that the tray is properly fixed to the bike by trying to move the battery and tray a bit. Tighten the two worm drive clamps if they need tightening, but be sure not to over tighten (which may strip the clamps).

qü 6. Be sure all wire connections, espe- cially battery terminals, are tight.

qü 7. On the PowerBike, check the Quick

Release levers on both wheels.

qü 8. Wear your ANSI or Snell-approved helmet.

qü 9. Use front and rear lights when riding at night, and be sure all reflectors are properly affixed.

Now you are ready, so

have a good ride!!!
