Regular Maintenance Requirements Cont.
KEEP THE BOARD DRY
Your electric skateboard is not waterproof
and must not be ridden in the rain, mud,
or other wet areas to prevent electrical damage. Always keep your board clean and dry.
STEERING - TRUCKS & BUSHINGS ARE NOT ADJUSTABLE
Altered boards do not turn like conventional skateboards – Altered / Exkate® trucks are not
like conventional skateboard trucks.
TIGHTENING THE TRUCKS DOES NOT CHANGE
THE STIFFNESS OR TURNING RADIUS. DO NOT ADJUST THE TRUCK’S KINGPIN
BOLT OR YOU CAN SPLIT THE BUSHING!
The trucks and bushings are factory preset
and should not be adjusted. The bushings are specially formulated to absorb shock
and provide positive steering control. Although specially formulated for extremely long
life, the bushings located in the trucks of your board will wear over time.
If the truck is
too loose or the bushing appears worn or cracked, replace them with the same
special bushings that are standard equipment on the board.
Trucks and bushings are
available through www.Fantomskateboard.com.
WHEELS & BEARINGS
The drive wheel will wear considerably more than the other three wheels. If your drive
wheel is closer than ¼-inch to the belt housing you need to replace the drive wheel. Other
wheels wear more slowly. If non-drive wheels wear to within ¼-inch of their black center
hub you need to replace the wheel. Wheel bearings are sealed and normally do not need
lubrication. If non-drive wheels do not spin freely, you can add drops of common machine
lubricating oil to loosen. If oil is not effective, or if sand or grit gets in a bearing, it needs
to be replaced. Contact www.Fantomskateboard.com to order wheels, bearings and other
parts.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
To maintain maximum life,
always keep your batteries charged when storing for
extended periods of time.
Charge your board at least once a month to maintain battery
life. Recharge your board even after short rides to maintain healthy batteries. Order
replacement batteries from www.Fantomskateboard.com.
Distinguish the + (positive) and – (negative) polarity carefully while replacing the battery.
Red wire is for + (positive) and Black wire is for – (negative).
DRIVE BELT
Drive belts will last a long time, but eventually will wear out. Hard starts and stops
and heavier riders accelerate drive belt wear. Order replacement belts from www.
Fantomskateboard.com.
DECKS & METAL EDGES
Normal wear will sometimes create rough or sharp edges on metal parts or splinters on
the deck. Regularly check components and replace as necessary.
