5.6.
TRUCK MAINTENANCE: The ZBoard’s trucks are rugged and durable, with bushings
specially formulated to absorb shock, provide positive steering control, and have a
long life, but they will wear over time. Before each use, check that they are adequately
tightened. Avoid over-tightening or you may damage the bushing, ruining the truck
and causing a potentially danger to the rider. If they are damaged or become too loose
to use, replacement bushings are available at
www.zboardshop.com/store .
5.7.
REPLACE THE DRIVE WHEEL WHEN NEEDED. The ZBoard’s drive wheel will wear down
much faster than the other three wheels. Once this rubber has worn down such that
the belt cover occasionally scrapes against the ground or the ride becomes
uncomfortable or noticeably slower, you may need to replace the drive wheel.
Replacement drive wheels are available at
www.zboardshop.com/store , and step-by-
step installation instructions can be found at www.myzboard.com.
The other three wheels should wear evenly, but if this is not the case, they may be
“rotated” (removed and interchanged) to maximize the life of all three. Use only
authentic ZBoard wheels on your board. Do not attempt any modification to install any
other skateboard wheels on the ZBoard.
5.8.
REPLACE THE DRIVE BELT WHEN NEEDED. Approximately every three months or after
unusually heavy usage, the ZBoard’s drive belt may wear down or break. An additional
drive belt is included in your packaging, and directions for how to replace it can be
found at www.myzboard.com. Be proactive about this repair and do not wait for your
drive belt to fail.
5.9. CLEAN OR REPLACE BEARNIGS WHEN NEEDED. If you feel that your ZBoard isn’t riding
as smoothly as when purchased, this may be caused by dirty or rusted bearings.
Bearings will need replaced more often if your ZBoard has been exposed to water,
excessive amounts of dirt or sand, or ridden aggressively or for extended periods on
rough terrain. To see how to clean and/or replace your bearings, head over to
