1. Make certain you have securely tightened the two split

wheel rims to the centre hub with the original nuts and
bolts.

2. Make certain your tyre is correctly inflated to the

recommended pressure.

3. Make certain the hub bearings and any spacer washers or

bushes are correctly located.

4. Tighten the special ' nyloc ' locking centre nut. Not: If the

plastic locking ring on the nut is damaged the nut should
be replaced.

The rear wheel hubs are located to the drive axle by a

steel key. If the hubs need removing for service, you will
first need to remove the hub centre nut with a 19mm
spanner. Please note the hub fits firmly onto the drive axle,
removal of the hub will be aided with the use of a suitable
'puller' tool.

wheels are pneumatic and their pressure needs

to be maintained at Front 30psi (2.1 bar) Rear 35psi(2.5 bar).

Pressures exceeding those recommended will result

in an uncomfortable ride. Underinflation will result in poor
battery and motor performance.

Keep your batteries well charged (see Battery Charging section
of this manual). Keep batteries clean and in a dry frost-proof
place. Keep battery terminals tight. Your Freerider Agent will
be able to test your batteries for their state of service.

a charge may be made for this service.

It is not possible to predict the life expectancy

of your batteries. This is mainly due to the different workloads
a battery can be subjected to.(see page 23 of this manual)

Some

users will use their vehicle every

day and for long periods of time. Their batteries will receive a
near total discharge, and the life of the batteries will be short

Other

users will use their machines less frequently,

putting their batteries through a less demanding discharge
lifestyle. These batteries will probably have a longer life in excess
of 12months. This can only be a general guide and one cannot
be more specific, due to other factors such as; motor loads,
tyre pressures, general service factors, working conditions,
periods of non-use and abuse etc.

When you need to purchase batteries, always insist on the
