Assembly & Usage Guide - IZIP
1. Install the front wheel in the fork, tightening the two axle nuts with a 15mm wrench to 390 in-lbs/44.1 Nm. Follow the
instructions on page 70 of your owner's manual (Front Wheel - Bolt-on Installation). Make sure the wheel is facing in the correct
direction so the motor does not spin backward: from the perspective of a rider seated on the bike, the left side of the hub has a
circle of 6 bolts, and the motor wire exits the right side.
The front brake needs to be disengaged before the wheel will fit in the fork (see diagram below). Re-engage the brake before
riding. See the section of your owner's manual beginning on page 74 for more information on brakes.
After the wheel is installed, connect the motor to the mating plug on the fork leg. Each side of the plug body has an embossed
arrow; match the arrows to properly align and connect the plugs. Make sure the plugs are engaged completely or the motor will
not run!
