SETTING UP YOUR OSET FOR RIDING:
1. Set the speed dial to the correct level for the rider.
a. Ensure everyone is clear of the bike.
b. Place the bike on a stand or block, so both wheels are above
the ground.
c.
Turn the power key to the on position.
d. Insert a screwdriver through the speed dial hole, making sure it
is seated correctly.
e. With your left hand on the screwdriver, clear of the wheel and
tire, turn the throttle with your right hand to it’s fully open
position.
f.
Turn the speed dial until the top speed is set correctly.
g. Remove the screwdriver.
h. Turn off the power and remove the key.
2. Check the tires are inflated to between 30 and 40 psi.
3. Check the chain for tightness and lubrication.
4. Set the controls correctly for the rider.
a. With the wheels on the ground, sit the rider on the bike.
b. Adjust the lever positions so they are easy to reach, and check
that the brakes are functioning correctly, and at the desired
level. The brakes can be ‘backed-off’ or tightened according to
the abilities of the rider.
WARNING!
Improper set-up is dangerous! It is your responsibility to set the machine to the
ability of the rider. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death, and
damage to the machine.
NOTE!
As the responsible adult, you must ensure that the OSET and its rider are ready
to ride, every time. The bike must be set to the abilities of the rider, and you must
ALWAYS supervise when, where and how the bike is ridden. Children can lose
concentration quickly, and be distracted easily. If the speed is set too high or the
brakes too severe then loss of control could result.
BE SAFE!
