If you do not fully understand how to operate your scooter throttle properly, DO NOT
RIDE YOUR SCOOTER. Contact CTI Customer Service for information and instructions
at 1-800-377-4532.
Brake Operation
The 350 series electric scooter is
equipped with a large diameter rear band
brake. It is operated using the left hand
brake lever on the handlebars and is
designed to provide excellent stopping
power for your scooter. Squeeze the
brake lever firmly (fig. 1) to bring your
scooter to a safe, controlled stop.
Caution! The brake lever itself should never
touch the handlebar or grip when squeezed
f i r m l y. If it does, then immediately STOP
RIDING and adjust the brake cable.
All brakes need periodic adjustment. However, the band brake mechanism itself
should be adjusted only by a qualified service technician. If or when it needs service,
take your scooter to your local bicycle dealer or to a retailer who offers service for this
universal band brake system. Improper adjustment of your brake can cause poor
braking and lead to an accident, serious
rider injury or death.
Brake Cable Adjustment
If your break wire stretches (as most new wires
do during the initial “breaking-in” period), your
brake lever will require a longer “pull” to
engage the brake and may even touch the
handlebar when squeezed. Use the
adjusting barrel on the brake lever. Loosen the adjusting barrel lock nut (fig. 2), back
the adjusting barrel out of the lever a turn or two, then re-tighten the lock nut to
secure the barrel.
2 Cautions:
1) Do not allow the adjusting barrel to extend more than 5 full rotations out of the
brake lever.
2)Always test your brakes after making any adjustment to be sure they are operating
properly before riding.
