ASSEMBLY AND SETUP

 

1)

  With  the  cardboard,  steel  frame  top  &  sides,  and  packing  material  removed  you  are  ready  to 

begin assembly. The tools needed for setup are included in the XMB-420 tool kit (located in the 

compartment under the seat). 

2)   

Attach the front wheel:   

a.

 

Remove the Axel Bolt from the Front Fork from where it is attached to the steel 

frame base (be careful not to loose the carter key as you will be reusing it). 

b.

 

Place a solid support about 10” high under the floor board section to raise the 

front of the scooter just enough to easily install the front wheel. Recommend two 

people to raise XMB-420.   

c.

 

Slide the brake assembly (that is hanging down) into the wheel cavity. 

d.

 

Position the wheel between the forks with the spacer on the side of the wheel that 

does not contain the brake assembly.   

e.

 

Slide the axle bolt through the center of the wheel hub. 

f.

 

Tighten the nut on the axle bolt and insert the cotter (safety) pin. 

g.

 

Inflate the front and rear tires to 35 psi. 

h.

 

With front wheel installed lift and remove the spacer under the floorboard. 

i.

 

Remove the wire ties holding the two rear wheels and roll XMB-420 off of steel 

frame. 

3)

 To make sure the alignment is correct, stand in front of the vehicle, using both legs to hold the 

front wheel in a straight-forward position.    Use both hands to grab the handle bar and turn it into 

normal driving position (90 degree angle from the front wheel).     

4) 

Attach the Rear View Mirrors into the mounting holes and carefully screw on.    Use a wrench 

to tighten the lock nuts at the base of each mirror when aligned. 

5) 

Check if the brakes are properly adjusted.    The brake handles should stop short of touching the 

handgrip, when fully engaged.    The rear brake cable can be adjusted in two places:   

 

 

At the cable end bracket, just before the lever, with 8 and 10 mm wrench adjustments, and   

 

At the end of the lever, with a 10 mm nut fastener. 

Figure 10 

The front brake is adjusted at the end of the cable, at the saddle 

nut, as shown in Figure 10. 

6) 

Install  the  cargo  basket.  Attach  the  cargo  basket  to  the  four 

bolts on the back of the seat and secure it tightly.   

 

7)

  Circuit  Breaker.    Using  the  ignition  key,  open  the  rear 

storage compartment located under the seat.    Locate the circuit breaker and switch it from off to 

on 

 

8)

 Your XMB-420 has been in transit and storage.    You must charge the batteries before riding it.   

See page 17 for battery charging instructions.
