Section 3: Assembly
3.1) Rolling Chassis
If you purchased a rolling chassis your scooter is not equipped with a motor and it is
recommended that an authorized Go-Ped® service center help with the motor install along with
following the proper operating instructions for that motor.
WARNING: Some motors may not be properly suited for your scooter and can make it
perform in a manor that is unsafe
3.2) Some Assembly Required.
Some models are shipped in the box
partially
assembled for shipping purposes. Before doing any
final assembly do an inspection of all components to insure that nothing was damaged during
shipment. If you see any damage or stressed components then contact your local
authorized
dealer for
replacements
or repairs to those components.
A. Front Wheel
1. Inspect all components for damage
2. Remove bolt and washers from end of front axle.
3. Remove front axle from front fork.
4. Insert brake disc into front brake caliper and align wheel with axle bushing.
5. Insert axle through steering arm bushing and into wheel hub. It may be necessary to align
inner wheel spacer between bearings to allow axle insertion.
6. Install axle and tighten axle bolt and nut.
7. Check for smooth wheel rotation and proper front brake actuation.
B. Rear Wheel
1. Remove axle nut and washers from end of rear axle.
2. Adjust engine trim to full forward stop position.
3. Install rear wheel with valve stem on left side to prevent
interference
with gas tank bracket.
4. Rotate rear fender and tank mount bracket and align with rear axle.
NOTE: Make sure
fender does not rub wheel or interfere with drive components.
5. Install axle bolt with washers between bearings and bracket and nut.
6. Tighten rear axle bolt.
7. Check for free rotation of rear wheel.
8. Check for proper operation of rear brake.
C. Pneumatic Tire
Information
•
Never use tires or tubes not recommended by Go-Ped® or P.M.W. or exceed the maximum P.S.I.
limits of the tire assembly in use.
WARNING: Never exceed P.S.I. rating specified on the side wall of your tire or serious
injury can result. Never use nonstandard equipment as they may not be suitable for
use in application and can result in immediate loss of control, unstable conditions,
and failure.
WARNING: Tire wear, punctures, or ruptures can cause immediate loss of control,
which may effect operator and precipitate serious bodily injury. Helmets, goggles,
gloves, elbow and knee pads and appropriate shoes with ankle support must be
worn at all times.
WARNING: Patching a tube is an emergency repair. Patches can severely weaken the
integrity of a tube, resulting in possible tube failure, cause a loss of control, and
cause the rider to fall. Replace a patched tube as soon as possible. Never replace the
tube with anything other then the stock OEM tube. Using an aftermarket tube or tire
not intended for Go-Ped® specification could result in a sudden loss of pressure, or
control that could cause damage to your scooter or personal injury. Never use a tube
or tire that is not recommended by Go-Ped®.
CAUTION:
The tires have “tread wear indicators.” Replace the tires when you reach the tread
wear indicator. If you do not know what the tread wear indicator is, ask your Go-Ped dealer.
E. “T” Handle Installation
1. Remove the plastic hinge pin from the bottom of the handle bar assembly.
2. Compress slide tube locking spring and hold in place.
3. Insert the handle bar assembly in the slot of the lower hinge assembly found on the body of
the frame assembly at the front fork.
4. Hold the slide tube in the up position and insert the plastic hinge pin.
5. Use a hammer and a spare bolt (not provided) to get the plastic hinge pin centered in the hole
so that the slide tube can slide over it and sit flush with the bearing race.
Note: Refer to “3.4
Folding Feature” for proper operation.
3.3) Folding Feature
Your Scooter is equipped with a folding feature for easy carrying and stowage. To fold pull up
against the spring tension on the slide tube found on the base of the “t” handle until it completely
exposes the hinge assembly and fold to the latching mechanism found next to the motor. Reverse
process to lock handle bar in the driving position.
A.
Adjustment of Slide Tube Clamp:
The slide tube clamp on the bottom of your Pro Slide Tube is used on extreme performance
Gopeds® to reduce handlebar play at the hinge. Adjustment of the clamp is a simple operation,
which is performed using a 5mm allen wrench.
-If the clamp is left loose, the slide tube can easily be slid up so that the scooter may be folded.
-If the clamp is very tight, it will not be possible to slide the tube up and fold the scooter.
-The clamp will reduce play even when the bolt is not very tight. The play will be reduced more
as the bolt is tightened.
The rider should determine the setting which works best for them.
CAUTION:
Before you ride
- Be certain the handle lock tube is in its full down position, locking the
handle bar upright.
Section 4: Oil & Fuel Information
Your Go-Ped® has a two-stroke engine that requires two-cycle oil to be mixed with gasoline. Use
a high quality 2 cycle oil that is formulated for small air cooled engines.
4.1) Oil and Fuel Mixing Instructions
CAUTION:
For proper engine operation and maximum reliability, pay strict attention to the oil and
fuel mixing instructions. Using improperly mixed fuel can severely damage the engine.
GP420RS engine: ONLY 25:1 oil ratio = 5.12 ounces of oil per US premium gallon of gas
WARNING: Operate this unit only in a well-ventilated area - outdoors, carbon monoxide
exhaust fumes can be lethal in a confined area.
4.2) Fueling & Pre-Operation
•
Gasoline is extremely flammable and its vapors can explode if ignited. Always stop the engine
and allow to cool before filling fuel tank. Do not smoke while filling fuel tank. Keep sparks and
open flames away from the area.
•
Add fuel in a clean, well-ventilated area. Avoid spilling the fuel when mixing the oil. Wipe up
spilled fuel immediately. If fuel has been spilled allow to dry completely before starting the engine.
•
Move the unit at least 10 feet (3m) from the fueling point before starting the engine.
•
Pressure can build up in the fuel tank. Loosen the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve any pressure
in the tank.
•
Store gasoline and fuel only in containers designed and approved for the storage of such
materials.
