Safety reminders
PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST
Loose Parts
Check and secure all fasteners before
every ride. Make sure handlebar
clamp bolts are locked properly in
place. There should not be any
unusual rattles or sounds from loose
parts or broken components. If you
are not sure, ask an experienced
mechanic to check.
Tire Inflation
Periodically inspect the tires for excess
wear, and regularly check the tire
pressure and re-inflate as necessary. If
you get a flat tire, the inner tube can be
patched or a new tube can be purchased
from Burromax at www.burromax.com
Brake
Check the brake for proper function.
When you squeeze the lever, the
brake should provide positive braking
action. When you apply the brake with
the speed control on, the brake cut-off
switch will stop the motor.
Always wear proper protective equipment
such as an approved safety helmet,
elbow pads and kneepads. Always wear
athletic shoes (lace-up shoes with rubber
soles), never ride barefooted or in
sandals, and keep shoelaces tied and
out of the way of the wheels, motor and
drive system.
Frame, Fork and Handlebars
Check for cracks or broken
connections. Although broken frames
are rare, it is possible for an
aggressive rider to run into a curb or
wall and wreck and bend or break a
frame. Get in the habit of inspecting
yours regularly.
