ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Control individual parts in the box:
(1 piece) main frame of scooter including front fork,
(1–2 pieces) brake system (depending on the type of scooter)
(2 pieces) inflatable wheels (according to the model: 2× 12‘‘, or 1× 16‘‘ and 1× 12‘‘),
(1 piece) handlebars including the handlebars rod.
Entrust a professional bicycle service with the assembly
.
2.
Unloose the nuts on the axis of both small wheels. if necessary, tighten the play of bearings so that the wheels can turn freely
(that is so that they do not drag and at the same time they are not free).
3.
insert the wheel into the front fork of the scooter frame (picture
1
). Make sure that the security eye provided with a small beak
is positioned correctly, (protruding part /beak/ of security eye must be inserted in a small hole at the end of the fork – picture
2
) whereas the axis of the wheel must be exactly in the middle of the fork.
4.
Tighten the nuts.
5.
For the handlebars: if the handlebar rod is pointing upward rotate it downward and evenly tighten the four front piece screws
(picture
3
). incase the front piece has not been previously attached, attach it to the handle bars and tighten all four front
piece screws (picture
3
). if your handle bars does not include a front piece (i.e. the bars are welded directly to the hansle
bar rod), skip step 5.
6.
insert the handlebar rod into the handlebar tube (picture
4
). Adjust the height of the handlebars according to the rider’s
needs. The maximum height is marked on the handlebar rod. Check that the axis of the handlebars is parallel to the axis of
the front wheel, and properly tighten the screw (picture
3
).
7
. Place the second wheel into the back fork of the scooter frame according to the description in point nr. 3.
8
. Tighten the nuts.
9
.
V-brake
: insert the oval ending of the brake cable (for the assembly it is generally valid that the right lever brakes the rear
wheel and the left lever brakes the front wheel) into a major round hole (for diff erent types of levers, the grippings may diff
er) situated on the brake lever and insert the brake cable into the slot on the inferior part of the handlebars lever (picture
5
). Press both arms of the V-brake towards the wheel rim and with an appropriate key (according to the model) adjust the
brake lining so that during the braking the brake lining chafes with its whole brake surface against the side part of the rim
(picture
9
). if necessary, tighten or loosen the brake cable with the anchoring bolt (picture
10
) or with the adjusting screw on
the brake lever so that there is, between the rim and the brake lining, a distance of approximately 1–2 mm (picture
8
). if the
wheel does not turn freely and „slackens up“ on one side, it is possible to adjust this by tightening the tension bolt at the arm
of the V-brake that „slackens up“ (picture
10
), eventually by loosening the tension screw at the arm of the V-brake which is
more distant from the rim so that the wheel may turn freely. Control the good functioning of the brake before riding. in case
the scooter has also the front brake – mount it and adjust it in the same way. in case the brake lever/s (on the handlebars)
contains/contain the adjusting screw ( situated on the side of the lever), by its tightening it is possible to achieve a shorter
distance between the lever and the grip (according to the size of the hand). incase the scooter has a front “V” brake it is
important that the fork is turned so that the brake is situated in the front, also the fork is slightly angled or positioned forward
to provide balance for the scooter (picture
6
).
10
. incase the kickstand has not yet been attached, screw it to the lower part of the frame so that it folds out to the left side in
relation to the riders perspective (picture
7
).
11
. Pump up the tyres according to the rider, maximally to the value marked on the tyre (bar/psi).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR RIDING
a)
During the start-up and during the whole time of riding, the rider has to have both hands on the handlebars grips and
minimally one foot on the deck of the scooter.
b)
start to ride so that you put one foot on the deck (both hands on the grips – see point a) and with a second foot take off in
the direction of the ride.
c)
V-brake – Procedure for braking
: by pressing the brake lever on the handlebars (1–2 pieces) you attain the necessary braking
during which time the intensity of the braking depends on the force of the pressure of the lever. During the braking, it is better
for you to use more the rear brake. Use the front brake (if it is included) as a slackening up brake (brake for ending up the
braking or as an emergency brake) – during a more intensive braking, an accident and injury may occur.
d)
Foot brake – Procedure for braking
: The process of braking with the rear footbrake is done by stepping on the footbreak
(located between the footboard and the rear wheel). The intensity of braking corresponds to the pressure developed on the
brake. The highest braking eff ect is achieved by transfering the whole body weight of the rider onto the footbrake.
e)
Turning takes place by turning the handlebars according to the necessity to the side you want to ride with a slight inclination
at the same time (according to the speed and the diameter of the turning) to the same side.
MAINTENANCE
We recommend to entrust a professional service with it.
Control regularly, eventually tighten or adjust: screw connections,
tightening mechanisms, lubricate sliding parts (wheels bearings, handlebars bearings, cables, brake parts etc.), when dirty,
clean with a humid cloth.
ATTENTION
During the lubrication, the lubricant must not get onto the braking friction surface of the rim and the brake lining, if this situation
occurs, it is necessary to remove the grease from all brake parts, eventually to clean with a technical gasoline. if during the
riding it starts to “crack” in the spokes, it is necessary to tighten all the wires of the wheels equally by 2 turns (we recommend to
entrust with it a professional service), eventually to grease, adjust or change the bearings and bearings parts. if the change of
wheels is necessary, use always wheels/tyres of the same parameters according to the original ones. Carry out the disassembly
in a contrary way than the assembly (see Operating instructions). Entrust the exchange or repair of a tyre and inner tube to a
professional service. if the scooter´s construction contains self-locking nuts or other self-locking accessories, when unloosing
and tightening them frequently, they lose their efficiency. in this case it is necessary to substitute respective parts.
SECURITY MEASURE
Before the assembly, study the operating instructions carefully.
The maximum weight capacity of the scooter is stated in the
parameters. To drive securely, use always headpiece, knee protectors, elbow protectors, wrist protectors and solid shoes.
This scooter in its basic version is not intended for roads with car traffic or for riding in the dark. Control the screw connections,
tightening mechanisms and brake/s regularly to avoid an eventual accident when riding.
We do not recommend to carry out adaptations of this scooter to other models. Do not brake too rapidly and suddenly – you
could fall down. The manufacturer does not guarantee the damnification or damage that may arise when using this product.
The scooter is designed only for 1 rider – co-riders are forbidden!
WARNING
Mechanisms for decreasing the speed (brake lining, rims, tyres, eventually rear contact brake) are becoming warm during the
use and it is, therefore, not convenient to touch them after the braking.
