Periodic adjustments of the drive chain will be necessary to
maintain proper tension. If the drive chain is loose, it may make a
"popping" noise, which indicates a need for immediate
adjustment. To manually check the drive chain tension, make sure
the drive chain is properly seated on both the front and rear
sprockets. Move the top portion of the drive chain in an upward
direction. approximately 1". If there is greater than approximately
1" of movement, the drive chain must be adjusted before use to
avoid unseating "falling-off". Before adjusting the chain, please make sure the key is in the "
position and disconnect the battery power to prevent any injuries or damage. To disconnect the
main battery power, lift the foot mat and unlock the lock located on the left side of the
MOTORINO
TM
(using the ignition key). Proceed to pull the battery out utilizing the handle.
Disconnect the battery cable. Loosen both rear axle nuts until the wheel will move freely in the
behind the rear axle until the proper tension is achieved. The screws must
be turned clockwise to tighten, and counter-clockwise to loosen the
chain. Check the tension by rotating the wheel by hand. Be sure that the
drive chain is not too tight, if so, the chain will break. Tighten the rear axle
nuts and re-check the tension. Make sure that the rear wheel is installed
straight and that the tension adjustment screws have not caused the rear
wheel to sit crooked once the axle nuts are tightened. The chain should
be cleaned and lubricated with bicycle chain lubricant (available at local
bike shops) after every 100 miles of riding (or every three rides) or after
riding the

in wet road conditions.
