WARNING:

 Failure to properly tighten a QR (quick-release) lever may 

compromise steering action and control of the bicycle, which could cause you 
to fall.  Falling can cause serious injury or even death.  Verify that all QR 
levers are closed and tight.

QR (Quick Release) Lever Operation

There are five QR (quick release) levers on your Xootr Swift: one on the front wheel; one 
on the stem riser; two on the seat post clamp; and one on the rear wheel.  It is important that 
these levers be properly adjusted before riding.  The following figure illustrates the open 
and closed position of the lever. When the lever is in the closed position it pulls the skewer 
tight clamping the seat post, riser, or wheel axle (depending on location.)

Lever Too Tight?

 There should be some resistance when closing the quick- release levers, 

but you should not have to use excessive force.  If the lever will not close, loosen the quick 
release nut until the lever can be fully closed.

Lever Too Loose?

 You should have to apply some force to close the lever at about halfway 

closed.  If the lever is too loose, then screw the nut down until you start to feel resistance to 
closing the lever at the halfway point.

Rear wheel installation:

1. Twist the grip shifter to Gear 8.
2. Insert the wheel into the dropouts, first looping the chain around the smallest cog.
3. Push the wheel firmly into the dropouts to center.
4. Tighten quick-release lever.
5. Reattach the rear brake cable and check for brake adjustment.

Front wheel removal:

1. Hold brakes against the wheel, then retract the “bullet-nosed” end of the silver 

cable guide from the metal yoke attached to the caliper, thus releasing the brake 
calipers.

2. Open the quick-release lever and back the nut off a few turns.
3. Remove the wheel from the frame.

Installation is the reverse of removal.

General Tire and Wheel Maintenance

1. Maintain tire pressure at the value indicated on the sidewall of the tire.
2. Never ride your bicycle with under-inflated tires as this will cause poor handling, 

excessive tire wear or a blowout.

3. Use a hand pump to inflate tire to proper tire pressure.
4. Over inflation or an improperly mounted tire may cause blowouts.
5. If there are any irregular noises from wheels, or it the rims wobble while rotating, 

check and repair wheels immediately.

6. Wheels should be checked regularly for spoke tightness, especially if ridden on 

rough roads. If the wheel does not remain “true” this indicates that the spokes are 
loose. We recommend that spoke adjustments be performed by a professional 
bicycle mechanic.

Collisions

Your Xootr Swift bike is designed to withstand years of normal riding.  However, collisions 
can substantially weaken the structure of the bicycle.  If you accidentally have a minor 
collision with a curb, wall, or other fixed object, inspect the scooter for loose or bent parts. 
If you find such parts, contact your dealer or Xootr LLC for repair or replacement.  If you 
collide with a fixed object at speeds in excess of 10 mph (16 kph) and/or are thrown from 
the bike after a collision, you could severely damage the structure of the bike.  In such 
cases, please contact Xootr LLC for repair or replacement.
