OTHER MAINTENANCE
Your XB-420M should be checked once a year for a thorough inspection and adjustment. This
can guarantee the comfort, safety and the normal operating life of the XMB-420.
Front and Rear Brakes
The adjustment of the front brake is the same as in a common motorcycle. It is very important to
brake effectively and to be sure that the battery shut-off device is in good condition. When the
brake lever is released, the wheel should spin without resistance. If it drags, it will waste a lot of
electric power. You should change the brake’s shoes when they are worn to one-third of their
original thickness.
The rear drum brake is very similar to the brakes on electric scooter products. When this brake is
exhausted, a squealing sound will be heard upon brake application.
Front and Rear Tires
The changing method of the front tire is the same as common bicycle. It is more complex to
change the rear tire because of the motor and brake assemblies, and associated wiring and cabling.
If you are not comfortable with undertaking this operation, you can ask your servicing dealer or
mechanic to change it.
Fuse
The XMB-420 comes with one 10A Glass Fuse. The fuse is located under the headlight fairing.
Lubrication
You should inspect and maintain your XMB-420 and lubricate the mechanical power transmission
components. The brake cables may also need lubrication
Lubricate the brake cables with silicone or graphite lubricant. Maintenance period: one month.
Lubricate the fork Shock Absorber tube, axle rim, and the axle ball bearing with SH/T0386
lubricant, scooter or lithium grease. Maintenance period: one year.
Cleaning
1)
Never wash the scooter using high-pressure water, as it will cause damage to the electric
bike.
2)
Never use lubricant to clean the metal parts of the scooter and never apply lubricant to the
drum brake and the tire.
