Pre-Ride Check

1) Be sure the tires 35 PSI air pressure. A low tire pressure risk rim pinching (tube failure),
lowers your range (distance per charge) and may damage the differential.
2) Be sure the battery is fully charged. Riding on a low state-of-charge will reduce range,
and may damage the battery.
3) Verify the front and rear brakes are proper adjusted.
4) Make sure the XMB-420 is in good mechanical order. Visually inspect and hand-check
the vehicle, and snug any loose bolts, screws, and electrical terminals.

Steps to Startup

1) Confirm adjustment of the Rear View Mirrors so that you can see clearly behind you.
2) Insert the key into the key switch and turn the key from OFF to ON.
3) The XMB-420 has an onboard Voltmeter, indicating the Battery's approximate
state-of-charge. It is normal for this reading to "sag" somewhat during acceleration.
Excessive Voltage "sag" is a sign of a depleted or damaged battery. When a battery is
exhausted, if you force it to supply energy, it will dramatically damage the battery. At this
time, the low-voltage protector will shut off the power automatically, protecting the
battery from further damage.
4) Lights: Light switch is located on the right side of the handle bars and can be controlled
by thumb. Push to center position for driving lights and to the left position for the
headlight.
5) Hold onto the handlebars with both hands. Assume a well-balanced position. Your right
hand will control the throttle. Push the throttle slowly to avoid a sudden rush of speed
forward. The speed of the bike will increase as you push the throttle. Release the
throttle and apply the brakes to stop your bike. You will control the speed of the bike by
using the throttle along with the brakes. When the brake handle is squeezed it cuts power
to the accelerator.
6) Give the XMB-420 some throttle and gradually increase the speed to adjust maximum
speed. Try not to brake and accelerate needlessly.
7) Return the key to the OFF position and take out the key after riding, to secure your
property and to save battery power.
