Adjusting The Brakes - Razor iMod Owner's Manual

ASSEMBLY AND SET-UP
q Attaching the Front Wheel
1
Remove the packing material
from the front fork.
q 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 below.
Check the Razor web site for any updates on the latest repair and maintenance procedures.
Turn power switch off before conducting any maintenance procedures.
q Adjusting the Brakes
1
To adjust the play, thread the
brake lever adjuster in or out 1/4
to 1/2 turn until the desired brake
adjustment is attained. Most
adjustments are complete at this
step. If brake still needs further
adjustment, proceed to step 2.
q Checking Spoke Tension

1
Verify spoke tension by grasping and shacking each spoke. Spoke
should not be loose from hub. Look for any play between spoke flange
and hub. Try to turn nipple using your fingers. You should not be able to
turn any nipple by hand. Check all spokes and tighten if necessary.
2
Insert the wheel into the front
fork with the lock washers on the
outside of the fork.

If the brake lever adjuster is
threaded outward and the brake
still has too much slack, use the
rear brake adjuster for additional
adjustment.

Start with spoke closest to tire valve
and tighten each nipple. In sequence,
exactly 1/4 to 1/2 turn. A single 1/4 to
1/2 turn may not be enough to bring the
spokes into proper tension. Continue
tightening all spokes no more than 1/2
turn in sequence until all spokes are
tight.

WARNING: The brake
is capable of skidding the tire and
throwing an unsuspecting rider.
Practice in an open area free from
obstacles until you are familiar with
the brake function. Avoid skidding
to a stop as this can cause you to
lose control or damage the rear tire.
Note: The brake lever contains a
safety switch to stop the motor
when the brake is applied. In an
emergency, applying the brake
will always stop the motor. Do not
disable or replace this lever with
anything other than a genuine Razor
replacement part.
WARNING: Regularly
check the spoke tension and
retighten the spokes whenever
loose. If you have any doubt, ask an
experienced motorcycle or bicycle
mechanic to inspect your spokes
to determine if the spokes need
tightening or adjusting.
Note: Tightening each nipple more
than a 1/2 turn each can cause the
wheel to become distorted and
wobbly thus permanently damaging
the wheel.
