Maintenance and Service

Repair and Service

WARNING:

• Inspect the product frequently. Failure to inspect the product and to make repairs or adjustments, as necessary, can result in injury to the rider or to others. Make sure all parts are correctly assembled and adjusted as written in this manual and any “Special

Instructions”.

• Immediately replace any damaged, missing, or badly worn parts with original equipment.

• Make sure all fasteners are correctly tightened as written in this manual and any

“Special Instructions”. Parts that are not tight enough can be lost or operate poorly.

Over tightened parts can be damaged. Make sure any replacement fasteners are the correct size and type.

NOTE: Have a bicycle service shop make any repairs or adjustments for which you do not have the correct tools or if the instructions in this manual or any “Special Instructions” are not suffi cient for you.

Tires

Maintenance:

• Frequently check the tire infl ation pressure because all tires lose air slowly over time. For extended storage, keep the weight of the off the tires.

• Do not use unregulated air hoses to infl ate the tire/tubes. An unregulated hose can suddenly over infl ate tires and cause them to burst.

• Replace worn tires.

WARNING :

Do not ride or sit on the unit if a tire is under infl ated. This can damage the tire, inner tube and rim.

Infl ating the Tires:

• Use a hand or a foot pump to infl ate the tires.

• Service station meter-regulated air hoses are also acceptable.

• The maximum infl ation pressure is shown on the tire sidewall.

• If two infl ation pressures are on the tire sidewall, use the higher pressure for on-road riding and the lower pressure for off -road riding.

• The lower pressure will provide better tire traction and a more comfortable ride.

Before adding air to any tire, make sure the edge of the tire (the bead) is the same distance from the rim, all around the rim, on both sides of the tire. If the tire does not appear to be seated correctly, release air from the inner tube until you can push the bead of the tire into the rim where necessary. Add air slowly and stop frequently to check the tire seating and the pressure, until you reach the correct infl ation pressure.

Inspection of the Bearings

MAINTENANCE

Frequently check the bearings of the bicycle. Lubricate the bearings once a year or any time they do not pass the following tests:

HEAD TUBE BEARINGS

The fork should turn freely and smoothly at all times. With the front wheel off the ground, you should not be able to move the fork up, down, or side-to-side in the head tube.

CRANK BEARINGS

The crank should turn freely and smoothly at all times and the front sprockets should not be loose on the crank. You should not be able to move the pedal end of the crank from side-toside.

W HEEL BEARINGS

Lift each end of the bicycle off the ground and slowly spin the raised wheel by hand. The bearings are correctly adjusted if:

• The wheel spins freely and easily.

• The weight of the spoke refl ector, when you put it toward the front or rear of the bicycle, causes the wheel to spin back and forth several times.

• There is no side-to-side movement at the wheel rim when you push it to the side with light force.

Chain Adjustment

WARNINGS:

• The chain must remain on the sprockets. If the chain comes off the sprockets, the coaster brake will not operate.

• Do not attempt chain repairs. If there is a problem with the chain, have a bicycle service shop make any repairs.

B

C

A

Adjustment:

The chain must be at the correct tightness. If too tight, the bicycle will be diffi cult to pedal.

If too loose, the chain can come off the sprockets.

Lubrication

WARNING:

• Do not over lubricate. If oil gets on the wheel rims or the brake shoes, it will reduce brake performance and a longer distance to stop the bicycle will be necessary. Injury to the rider or to others can occur.

• The chain can throw excess oil onto the wheel rim. Wipe excess oil off the chain.

• Keep all oil off the surfaces of the pedals where your feet rest.

• Using soap and hot water, wash all oil off the wheel rims, the brake shoes, the pedals, and the tires.

• Rinse with clean water and dry completely before you ride.

• Using a light machine oil (20W), lubricate the bicycle according to the following table:
