the baseboard until there is no free-play between the baseboard and the steering column.
Be careful not to over-tighten this screw as it needs only be snug against the steering
column. Verify the adjustment by releasing the steering column from the locked position
and folding the scooter. The locking lever should not bind and the folding movement
should be smooth. The spring-loaded mechanism should automatically lock and be fully
seated in the upright position.
WARNING: Keep your fingers clear of the pivoting mechanism when folding or
unfolding the scooter.

4. Wheels and Bearings

Under normal circumstances and conditions, Razor wheels and wheel bearings are
maintenance free. Nonetheless, it is the responsibility of the owner or guardian to
periodically inspect the wheels for wear and tear, the axle for proper tightness, and
bearings for side-to-side play and loose parts.
When a wheel or wheel bearing develops play, this is an indication of excess wear and
replacement is necessary. Replace immediately with only genuine Razor wheels.
Worn tires/wheels/bearings are considered normal wear-and-tear and are not covered by
the Razor Limited Warranty. Wheels other than genuine Razor wheels may not be
compatible with your Razor scooter. The use of anything other than genuine Razor
replacement parts may affect your safety.
5. Cleaning Your Razor
Wipe with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust.
Do not use industrial cleaners or solvents as they may damage the surfaces. Do not use
alcohol, alcohol-based or ammonia-based cleaners as they may damage or dissolve the
plastic components or soften the decals or decal adhesive.

control your scooter. Take the necessary precautions, such as wearing appropriate
protective gear and practice in a area safe for stunt riding and free from obstructions.
