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.

Check the Razor web site for any updates on the latest repair and maintenance procedures.

Turn power switch off before conducting any maintenance procedures.

REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE

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.

1

To 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.

2

If 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.

3

If 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.

37-44 mm

1

Using a bicycle style tire

pump equipped for a Schrader-

type valve, inflate the tire to the

PSI indicated on the sidewall of

the tire.

q

Inflating the Tires

Tires are inflated when shipped, but they invariably lose some pressure between the point of

manufacturing and your purchase.
