5 5. MAINTENANCE
While the ZBoard is designed to be robust, it will occasionally require basic maintenance.
Follow these guidelines to ensure you minimize unnecessary issues. When maintenance is
required, step-by-step replacement instructions are available at
www.myzboard.com .
5.1. TREAT YOU ZBOARD WITH CARE. The ZBoard has sensitive electronic parts and must
be treated accordingly. Do not slam the ZBoard against the ground, drop it from any
height, or leave it outside or in direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
5.2. TIGHTEN FITTNGS. When riding, the ZBoard experiences extreme and repeated
vibrations, which can loosen hardware over time. Check the tightness of hardware on
the battery box and trucks before each ride. Each component can be tightened with
pliers and the included hex keys. Be careful not to over-tighten or strip hardware
components when tightening them. Apply a small amount of Loctite Blue to the
threads of any screws that repeatedly loosen.
5.3.
INSPECT YOUR ZBOARD BEFORE EVERY RIDE. Before using, turn on your ZBoard and
evaluate its functionality. If you hear rattling, smell burning, your ZBoard is moving
without any pressure, or it simply won’t move or turn on,
do not attempt to ride .
Please visit www.myzboard.com or contact customer service for assistance.
5.4.
KEEP THE BOARD AS DRY AS POSSIBLE. The ZBoard is not waterproof. Avoid wet
pavement and puddles at all times to prevent rust damage to bearings and trucks, and
electrical damage. If your ZBoard does get wet for some reason, thoroughly dry it off.
5.5.
PROPERLY MAINTAIN YOUR BATTERY. To preserve the life of your battery we
recommend you charge your ZBoard between uses, even after short rides. Always
charge in a warm and dry location, and never store it in extreme temperatures or
conditions as this may negatively impact battery life. Charge your ZBoard’s battery
fully before storing it for an extended period of time, and take it out of storage to
charge at least once a month. When maintained properly, ZBoard Classic battery
packs are rated up to 250 cycles and ZBoard Pro battery packs are rated up to 1000
cycles. Replacement and upgrade batteries are found at www.zboardshop.com/store.
NEVER charge your board when it is “on” as this may damage the charger, battery, or
speed controller.
