REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE

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.

Note: The brake lever contains a

safety switch to stop the motor

when the brake is applied. In an

emergency, applying the brake

will always stop the motor. Do not

disable or replace this lever with

anything other than a genuine Razor

replacement part.

q

Adjusting the Brakes

1

To adjust the brake play, thread

the brake lever adjuster in or out 1/4

to 1/2 turn until the desired brake

adjustment is attained. Most

adjustments are complete at this

step. If brake still needs further

adjustment, proceed to step 2.

2

If the brake lever adjuster is

threaded outward and the brake

still has too much slack, use the

rear brake adjuster for additional

adjustment.

q

Testing the Brakes

To use the brake, squeeze the lever to increase the pressure on the brake. The brake lever is fitted with a cable adjuster

to compensate for cable stretch and/or to fine-tune the lever movement to brake engagement. If the brake is not

engaging properly, follow instructions for adjusting the brakes outlined below.

q

Inflating the Tires

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

your purchase.

1

Using a bicycle style tire pump

equipped for a Schrader-type valve,

inflate the front tire to the PSI

indicated on the sidewall of the

tire.

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 Sport Mod 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

Remove the packing material

from the front fork.

2

Insert the wheel into the front

fork with the lock washers on the

outside of the fork.

q

Attaching the Front Wheel

3

Insert the tab on the lock

washer into the hole on the front

fork and tighten the nuts with the

supplied wrench.
