DETAILED MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
WARNING:
Turn the power switch “OFF” before
conducting any maintenance procedures.
Testing the Brakes
To use the brake, squeeze the lever to increase the pressure on the brake. The
brake lever is fitted with a cable adjuster to compensate for cable stretch and/
or to fine-tune the lever movement to brake engagement. If brake is not engaging
properly, follow instructions for adjusting the brakes.
Adjusting the Brakes
Tools required; 10mm wrench (not included)
1. To adjust the brake cable tension, turn
the adjusting barrel on the brake lever
clockwise (to loosen) or counter-clockwise
(to tighten). Only turn the adjusting barrel in
small increments until the desired adjustment
is reached. If the brake continues to need
adjustment, proceed to the next step.
WARNING
:
Keep brakes properly
adjusted and in good working condition at all
times. Check to make sure that the brakes
are functioning properly after any adjustment
and before riding.
2. If the brake cable is still either too tight or too loose, use a 14mm open end
wrench to adjust the brake.
• Please set the power switch to “OFF” position.
• Use something to hang the rear wheel for brake adjusting.
• Use your hand to spin the rear wheel, if it can spin freely and loosely that means
you can tighten it to adjust. Turn the adjusting barrel clockwise, and every one
cycle you turn the barrel, just spin the wheel and feel with your hand if the rear
wheel will rub the brake mechanism, if it does not rub, please turn the barrel
another cycle, until you feel them rub. Then please turn the barrel one cycle back
(counter-clockwise), your vehicle has been adjusted well now.
• If when you spin the rear wheel it does not spin smooth, you can turn the
adjusting barrel counter-clockwise, and every one cycle your turn the barrel, just
spin the wheel and feel with your hand if the rear wheel will rub the brake any
more, until you finish the brake adjusting.
