   ‡ Inspect all hardware to ensure it is properly tightened
3. EVERY SIX MONTHS (depending on frequency and type of use)
   ‡ Inspect the frame, fork and look for signs of cracks in the metal.
   ‡ Check the bottom bracket and crankshaft and tighten the bolts on each crank.
   ‡ Check and grease the wheel hubs, headset, all parts in friction.

TIP
For your own safety, if any of the recommended maintenance procedures are not within your skill set, we advise taking your Super73 to an E-bike specialist or professional cycle mechanic for inspection.

Do not continue to ride your Super73 if any failure of hardware including bolts and fasteners integral to the brake system or wheel assembly should occur. Riding your Super73 with failed or missing hardware may put you at risk for potential injury or death.

MAINTENANCE & COMPONENTS

Before performing any work on your Super73 electronics system, turn off the system and remove the battery. Involuntary activation of the Super73 system will give rise to a risk of injury, death and/or property damage.

WASHING AND CARING FOR YOUR BIKE
Dirt, salt, and other elements can damage your bike. Regularly clean your Super73 and protect it against corrosion. Use clear water for cleaning and a gentle soap if necessary to dissolve grease and other residues. Do not spray water directly onto your Super73.
Instead, use a lightly damp cloth to wipe down any dirt or debris. After drying your bike, treat surfaces with a care product. Finally, wipe all parts with a clean, soft cloth.

Do not clean your Super73 with a strong water jet or steam jet from a short distance, and take particular care not to spray water on or near the battery. This can damage the battery and create a risk of fire. In addition, the water can get past the seals and get inside the bearings. Lubricants are then diluted, increasing friction. In the long run, the bearing surfaces will deteriorate.

TIRES / WHEELS
The Super73-Z Miami has tire sizes of 20" x 4" tires with inner tubes and a rim liner. The inner tube size for the tires is 20" x 4.25" or 20" x 4". The tires are designed for durability and safety for regular cycling activities. However, tires must be checked before each use for proper inflation and condition.
Proper inflation, good maintenance, and quick replacement will help ensure that the operational characteristics of your bike will be maintained and dangerous conditions avoided.
Tires must be inflated using a pump with a Schrader valve tip with a recommended pressure between 1.24-1.72 bar (18-25 PSI). Check the condition of the tires and rims for damage, cracks or deformation. The minimal tightening torque of the wheel nuts is 21.69 Nm ( 16ft/lb).
It is essential that the proper air pressure is maintained in the tires all the time. Do not under-inflate or over-inflate your tires. Low pressure can cause loss of control and tires that are too inflated can burst. Failure to maintain proper air pressure rating indicated in the handbook may at any time result in tire and / or wheel failure.
Inflate your tires from a regulated air source with an available manometer. Inflating your tires with an unregulated air source could over-inflate them, resulting in an exploded tire. When tire wear becomes obvious or a hole in the tire is found, you must replace the tires and/or tubes before using the bike, otherwise injury to operators and/or damage to your bike could occur.
In addition to proper inflation, correct wheel alignment helps to decrease tire wear. If you find a tire is worn unevenly, have a professional cycle mechanic check the wheel alignment.

HELMETS / REFLECTORS
A properly fitting ANSI or SNELL, (or CE if you are located in Europe), approved bicycle safety helmet should be worn at all times when riding your bicycle, or recommended per your local laws. Always wear a properly fitted helmet that covers the forehead when riding a bicycle. Many states require specific safety devices. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the laws of the state where you ride and to comply with all applicable laws, including properly equipping yourself and your bike as the law requires.
Reflectors are important safety devices that are designed as an integral part of your bicycle. Federal regulations require every bicycle to be equipped with front, rear, wheel, and pedal reflectors. These reflectors are designed to pick up and reflect street-lights and car lights in a way that helps you to be seen and recognized as a moving bicyclist. Check reflectors and their mounting brackets regularly to make sure they are clean, straight, unbroken, and securely mounted.

BRAKES
Brakes are an integral part of the operation of your bike and must be properly maintained, adjusted, and replaced when necessary. If any of these tasks are not within your skill set, we recommend taking your bike to an E-Bike specialist or professional cycle mechanic.
Mechanical brake lines require maintenance not only on the pads and rotors but also on the mechanical brake cable.
For optimum braking performance, SUPER73 bikes are equipped with Tektro disc brakes. Tektro brake adjustment manuals are available on www.tektro.com.
The Super73 brake orientation is as follows:
Rear brake = right lever
Front brake = left lever
Brake Models: Mechanical (M280) https://www.tektro.com/products.php?p=25
Brake pads: Tektro E10.11 https://www.tektro.com/products.php?p=216
The wear of the pads on a mechanical disc brake can be regulated by unscrewing the cable tension knob. There is a complementary adjustment of the inner pad which can be tightened closer or removed from the disc by screwing it in or out with a 5 mm Allen key.
To ensure maximum service life of the brake components, avoid contamination of the pads and the disc by greasy substances.
Regularly check the condition of your cables, ducts or harness and the wear of your pads.
Some discs are only compatible with "resin" pads. Do not use a metal pad with discs marked "resin".
For better ergonomics and safety, we advise you to adjust the brake levers in a position that places it as a natural extension of the user's arms. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact SUPER73.

NEW BRAKE PAD & ROTOR BED-IN PROCESS
Any time you replace your brake pads, rotors, or both, it is important they are properly bedded for optimal performance. To bed your brakes properly after replacement, accelerate your bike up to and then engage your brakes to bring the bike to a near stop, then repeat the process up to 8-10 times. This process allows your pads to wear evenly as well as remove surface glaze and contamination from installation. Surface glaze on pads may cause "squealing brakes."

REPLACING THE PADS
When pads are worn, make sure to adjust both clearances between the rotor and pad so that they are equal and balanced. If only one side is adjusted, it may cause braking failure.

1. Pads and pad holders are held in place by a cotter pin on the caliper. To remove the pads and pad holder, straighten the cotter pin and remove, then gently push out the pads and holder. This may be easier to achieve by using an Allen wrench.
2. Once free of the caliper, the pads may be easily removed from the pad holder.

LIGHTING SYSTEM
The Super73-Z Adventure includes a lighting system that is directly connected to the bike's electrical system. If either the rear or front light is no longer operable, please contact Super73 for troubleshooting and parts orders. Replacement components should be purchased directly from Super73. Please avoid the use of any third-party component that connects directly to the e-bike's electrical system. There are no batteries in the lights. Make sure the front and rear lights are clean before riding. If they are dusty, or dirty, clean them with a damp cloth for optimal visibility and safety.

SEAT
It is not possible to adjust the seat height of the Super73 e-bike. It is fixed to the frame by bolts. The minimum seat clamping torque on the frame is 6.78 Nm (5lb /ft). For maintenance, use a cloth and water with a gentle soap for cleaning. Avoid leaving the seat too long in the sun, as the fabric can be damaged by the sun's UV rays. Avoid wearing clothes that may puncture or tear the seat.
The e-bike and its parts are subject to wear and tear, like other mechanical products and parts. Moreover, various materials and parts react differently to wear and abrasion. If the life of a component is exceeded, it is possible that it will suddenly fail, which may present hazards to the rider. Any type of cracks, streaks, or color changes in highly stressed components could indicate the failure of the component. It is highly recommended that use of the e-bike is suspended until all failed components are replaced. It is important to use genuine, properly specified parts for safety-critical components during the replacement of worn parts.

DERAILLEUR
Derailleur components will require regular maintenance, cleaning, and greasing in order to keep the movement of these components fluid and in good working order. It is recommended to regularly inspect the gears for signs of damage or wear.
Proper alignment of the derailleur is required for optimal performance of gear shifting. Derailleurs are fitted with limit screws that stop the derailleur from moving too far inward or too far outward. The adjustment to these limit screws require skill and may take time to achieve optimal results. Please seek derailleur maintenance help from a professional cycle mechanic if gear shifting becomes abnormal which is usually indicated by loud shifting or irregular rhythm in chain movement.

STORAGE, PARKING, AND TRANSPORTATION

• Park in accordance with local rules and regulations if you're in a public place.
• Park indoors whenever possible. If you must park outdoors in rain or wet conditions, do not do so for an extended period of time, and afterward park in a dry location to allow the bike systems to dry out. When any bike is exposed to wet conditions, it requires more frequent maintenance and cleaning to prevent rust and corrosion, and to ensure all systems work safely.
• Avoid parking or storing your bike in direct sunlight and/or excessive heat, such as inside of a parked car on a hot day.
• Switch the power and any lights off to conserve battery power. Remove the key from the bike and ensure the battery is locked to the frame in the off position or use the key to remove the battery and bring it with you for security.
• Lock up your bike to reduce risk of theft. Register your bike with BikeIndex or 529 Garage to increase the chance you'll get your bike back in the unfortunate event it's stolen.
• When pushing or carrying the bike, turn off the power to avoid accidental acceleration from the motor, e.g. by mistakenly engaging the throttle.
• Only use racks (i.e., a bike rack for your car or other vehicle) designed for the size and weight of your ebike. Pay particular attention to whether the rack can accommodate the width of the tires.
• When carrying your ebike on a rack for transport, remove the battery, and place/ wrap it securely inside your vehicle, making sure it can't roll around and that its plugs and connectors are protected. This will reduce the weight of the bike, make lifting and loading it easier, and keep your battery safe.
• Do not leave a battery in direct sunlight or any location that is or may become excessively hot or cold, like a parked car, for extended periods.
• Before using public transportation—buses, trains, etc.—to transport your ebike, check with the relevant transportation authority for any rules governing weight limits, tire widths, lithium-ion batteries, or any other rules that might pertain to ebikes.
• Avoid transport of any Super73 on a vehicle rack during rain, which may cause water damage to the electrical components. Contact Super73 support if you have questions.
