    The main feature of the EZ Lite Cruiser is its ability to fold to a compact space. Using the wire located at the back of the chair, near the base of the seat, you can fold the chair down. When standing behind the EZ Lite Cruiser, pull on the wire outward straight on to release the locking mechanisms (spring loaded pins) from each side of the main frame section.

    Figure # 1 The EZ Lite Cruiser has foam arm rest pads for comfort. Over time, as they become worn, or loose the arm rest pads may need to be removed and replaced. To remove the arm rest pads, lift the arm rest as shown in Figure 3 on the next page, and loosen the two screws that attach the arm rest pad to the arm rest frame, as shown in Figure 1.

    Maintenance & Replacement of Parts Front Wheel Fork Replacement Figure # 24 Figure # 25 To replace the Front Wheel Fork, first remove the front wheel, as shown in Figure 24, and remove the plas- tic cap located over the fork assembly nut as shown in Figure 25. We recommend using a pair of vice grips on the underside bolt as shown in Figure 26, and a socket wrench on the top nut, also shown in Figure 26.

    Maintenance & Replacement of Parts Mud Guard Replacement Figure # 30 To replace the mudguards, we recommend removing the motor to gain better access to the nuts that hold the mudguard to the frame, as shown in Figure 30. It can also be done without removing the motor, by using needle nose pliers to gain access to the nuts.

    Maintenance & Replacement of Parts Rear Wheel Replacement Figure # 31 Figure # 32 To replace either of the Rear Wheels, use a small flat head screw driver to release the plastic bolt cover in the center of the wheel, as shown in Figure 31. When the bolt cover is removed, it will expose the 3 hex bolts found in the center of the wheel, as shown in Figure 32.

    I/O port connections are res- tablished tightly. By not replacing the zip-ties, you risk causing the loose wires to get caught between frame metal when the EZ Lite Cruiser is being folded.
  • Page 22: Folding Wire Replacement

    Figure # 39 The folding wire on the EZ Lite Cruiser is shown in Figure 38. It consists of a spring loaded pin on each end that can be released from its housing nut, as shown in Figure 39 that allow for the folding to take place.
  • Page 23 Maintenance & Replacement of Parts Folding Wire Replacement Figure # 42 Install the spring loaded pin assembly part of the folding wire into each side of the frame, as shown in Fig- ure 42. You may use pipe thread tape to secure the nut into the frame, if it seems loose. Screw it in as far as you can by hand, then use a wrench to tighten it until the spring loaded pins come out on the other end of the frame and protrude far out enough to reach the side of the frame, so it will be extended far enough to fit securely into the housing nut on the side of the frame.
