MAINTENANCE & COMPONENTS
Before performing any work on your Super 73 electronics system, turn off the system and remove the
battery. Involuntary activation of the Super 73 system poses a risk of injury.

TIRES/WHEELS
The Super 73 has 20’’x 4.25 ‘’ (51 x10.7 cm) rubber tires with inner tubes and a tube liner. The tires are
designed for durability and safety for regular cycling activities. However, tires must be checked before
each use for proper inflation and condition.
Proper inflation, good maintenance and quick replacement will help ensure that the operational
characteristics of your bike will be maintained and dangerous conditions avoided.
Lithium Cycles recommends 1.4 - 2 bar (20-30 PSI) (max: 35 PSI, 2.4 bar) for the front and rear tires on
the Super 73. The minimal tightening torque of the wheels is 33.89 (Nm) or 25lb/ft.
It is essential that the proper air pressure is maintained in the tires all the time. Do not under-inflate or
over-inflate your tires. Low pressure can cause loss of control and tires that are too inflated can burst.
Failure to maintain the air pressure rating indicated on the tires may at any time result in tire and / or
wheel failure.
Inflate your tires from a regulated air source with an available manometer. Inflating your tires with an
unregulated air source could over-inflate them, resulting in an exploded tire.
When tire wear becomes obvious or a hole in the tire is found, you must replace the tires and / or tubes
before using the bike, otherwise injury to operators and / or damage to your bike could occur.
To avoid serious injury, make sure all air pressure has been removed from the inner tube before
removing the tire from the rim.
In addition to proper inflation, correct wheel alignment helps to decrease tire wear. If you find a tire is
worn unevenly, have your dealer check the wheel alignment.

Cycles website and contact the support team: [email protected]
CHAIN TENSION:
There should be approximately one half inch of movement in the chain up and down at
a point half way between the front and rear sprockets. To change the tension loosen one of the axle-nuts
and move the wheel forward or backward slightly and tighten it up again.
HELMETS / REFLECTORS
A properly fitting ANSI or SNELL, (or CE if you are located in Europe), approved bicycle safety helmet
should be worn at all times when riding your bicycle, or recommended per your local laws. Always wear
a properly fitted helmet which covers the forehead when riding a bicycle. Many states require specific
safety devices. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the laws of the state where you ride
and to comply with all applicable laws, including properly equipping yourself and your bike as the law
requires.
Reflectors are important safety devices which are designed as an integral part of your bicycle.
Federal regulations require every bicycle to be equipped with front, rear, wheel, and pedal reflectors.
These reflectors are designed to pick up and reflect street-lights and car lights in a way that helps you to
be seen and recognized as a moving bicyclist. Check reflectors and their mounting brackets regularly to
make sure they are clean, straight, unbroken and securely mounted.
DANGER!
