7) CONNECTING THE REAR BRAKE CABLE

(The front fork crown is located immediately above the front

 

wheel). Inspect the front reflector and reflector bracket to make

 

sure that they are tight. The front reflector should be perpen-

 

dicular with the ground.

 

10) TIRE PRESSURE

 

All ZAP bicycle tires should be inflated to the maximum recom-

 

mended pressure printed on the tires. It is normal for bicycle

 

tires to lose a little tire pressure every week. Since proper tire

 

pressure is critical to the operation of your ZAP motor, please

 

check your tire pressure weekly.

Step 1) At the rear brake assembly, located at the back wheel, unhook the rear brake cable barrel end. This made easier by squeezing the cantilever brakes towards the rim to decrease the cable tension in order to unhook the rear brake cable barrel end from the brake unit. Also

make sure to screw (by turning clockwise) in the barrel adjuster all the way into the brake lever. (This will make the brake wire easier to work with by increasing the slack in the brake cable). Step 2) On the rear brake lever, line up the slots on the barrel adjuster and adjuster locknut with the slots on the brake lever. Insert the brake cable into the brake lever. Turn the barrel so that the slots are no longer aligned.

Step 3) Re-attach the brake cable to the rear brake assembly. (Before you ride the bike, make sure that the brakes are prop- erly adjusted).

8) PEDAL INSTALLATION

Screw pedals into crank arms and tighten with a 15mm open-ended wrench to proper torque. The right pedal tightens clockwise and the left pedal tightens counter- clockwise.

9) REFLECTORS

 

Step 1) Inspect the rear

 

reflector and reflector

 

bracket to make sure that

 

they are tight. The rear

 

reflector should be perpen-

 

dicular with the ground.

 

Step 2) Attach the front

1) Nut 2) Washer 3) & 4) Beveled Washer (only included in

reflector bracket to the hole

bikes that have the metal reflector bracket) 5) Bolt

in the front fork crown.

11) FINAL BICYCLE INSPECTION

Give your ZAP Electric Bicycle a mechanical safety check. Correct procedure for a safety check can be found in your ZAP Owner’s Manual Supplemental.

12) FINAL ZAP POWER SYSTEM INSPECTION

Make sure your ZAP motor is positioned correctly on the bicy- cle. Refer to installation instructions in your ZAP Owner’s Manual. Charge the battery completely before riding. It is very important to the life of your battery that you completely charge the battery immediately after every use. ZAP DEFLATES THE

TIRES BEFORE PACKAGING THE BIKE TO PREVENT DAM- AGE DURING SHIPPING. INFLATE BOTH TIRES TO 55 PSI.

BE SAFE! Always wear a helmet when riding

You’re done! Now you can look forward to great fun and becoming a pioneer riding on your ZAP Electric Bicycle!
