ROUTINE OPERATION
A) Pre-Ride Check
1)
Be sure the tires have enough air. A low tire
pressure risk rim pinching (tube failure) and lowers
your range (distance per charge).
2)
Be sure the battery is fully charged. Riding on a
low state-of-charge will reduce range, and can
damage the battery.
3)
Verify the proper adjustment and function of the
brakes.
4)
Make sure the XB-420M is in good mechanical
order. Visually inspect and hand-check the vehicle,
and snug any loose bolts, screws, or other
fasteners.
5)
With the XB-420M visually inspected, turn the key
switch and apply the throttle, to verify the motor’s
smooth operation. Apply the brake to stop the
motor. Verify that the throttle is inoperative when
either brake is applied.
B) Steps to Startup
1)
Adjust the Rear View Mirrors so that you can see
clearly behind you.
2)
ADJUST THE SPEED CONTROL KNOB! Adjust
to slow for the initial ride until you feel
comfortable.
3)
Insert the key into the key switch and turn the key
from OFF to ON.
