Brake Lever Height Adjustments; Suspension Fork Adjustment; Chapter 6: Tire, Tube, Wheel Or Axle Repair; Removing The Front Motor Wheel - Prodeco Technologies Mariner User Manual

e) Brake lever adjustments (SEE PHOTO)
The Mariner utilizes an Avid SRAM Via GT FR5 Lever. The following
instructions will explain how to adjust your lever for optimal comfort
and performance. The preferred level of the brake lever assembly
itself will vary from rider to rider. The brake lever can be rotated higher
or lower to a desired riding position. The optimal position can be
found by extending your fingers straight while sitting in the saddle.
Your fingers, when extended straight, should rest on top of the levers
or slightly above the levers. The clamp has a CLAMP BOLT
accessible from the top of the bracket. Using the 4mm hex key,
loosen the brake lever assembly by turning the hex bolt counter clock
wise 3 full turns. The lever assembly will now be loose and you can
rotate it up or down to establish the preferred position to apply the
brakes while riding. The brake lever assembly on the right side of the
handlebar may require the throttle clamp to be loosened to allow the
brake lever assembly to rotate. The brake lever assembly and throttle
mount together and at a certain point of rotation, one will not rotate
further without the other requiring to be rotated. A compromise may be required when attempting to align the brake levers and
establishing the preferred throttle position. Your brake lever should be located at the point where your fingers extend straight out
from your arms. Upon finding preferred brake lever height, tighten hex bolt using 4mm key. Brake lever clamp bolts should be
tightened to 80 lb*in.
If you have small hands, you can adjust the reach of the lever by adjusting the REACH ADJUSTMENT bolt.
The Cable adjustment can be tightened via the BARREL ADJUSTER. The Barrel Adjuster removes slack in the cable and can
tighten the outboard pad of the brake caliper. The Barrel Adjuster however is strictly reserved for cable slack removal on the fly.
The adjustment of the pads should be done at the caliper itself.
f) Suspension fork adjustment
The Mariner uses a dual pre-load adjustable suspension fork. The fork's dual adjustment
offers either a softer of firmer ride for smoothing out the bumps in your path. The pre-load
can be adjusted according to your weight and preference. You can easily adjust the
suspension performance by rotating the knobs at the top of each leg at the crown.
Chapter 6: Tire, Tube, Wheel and Axle Repair
The Mariner was designed for ease of servicing. Repairs are no more difficult than on
a traditional bicycle. Any neighborhood bicycle shop should be able to repair a flat,
change a tire or replace a wheel. Please review the following chapter on how to
remove and replace the front and rear wheel of your Mariner.
a) Removing the front motor wheel
The front motor wheel incorporates a quick disconnect motor wire harness for removing the wheel. To remove the wheel
following these instructions, it will only take a few minutes. Read the instructions before first attempting to remove the wheel.

First, turn the battery ignition key to the ―UNLOCK‖ position and remove the battery.

To work on your bicycle, it may be easier to turn the bicycle upside down by placing blankets on the ground and
resting the bicycle on the saddle and handlebar.

Locate the motor disconnect weather proof plug on the left side of the bike frame 6 inches from the motor axle and
separate the connector.

Locate the cable tie which ties the motor wire to the frame. Cut the cable tie with snips.

On each axle nut there is a rubber nut protector, remove these protectors simply by pulling on them. On the wired side
of the axle, slide the rubber protector up the wire only a few inches.

Using an 18mm wrench, turn counter clockwise each axle nut until the axle nuts and washers are clear from the fork.

Remove the wheel from the fork by pulling on the wheel while making sure the washer
b) Installing the front motor wheel
The front motorized wheel easily installs onto the fork dropouts within a few minutes. Follow the instructions below on installing
the front motor wheel. Additional cable ties are included with the Mariner. One cable tie will be needed to install the motor.
Read the instructions fully before attempting to install the wheel. (SEE PHOTOS)

Slide the motor into the fork drop outs by aligning the axle into the dropouts. The axle has flat edges which require the
axle to enter the dropouts with the flat edges facing front and back. The axle with the motor wire protruding is to enter the
left side dropout (the left side is when standing behind the fork).

Each axle side has 2 washers and a nut. Slide the washers into the fork dropout safety flange and tighten nuts by hand.

Using an 18mm wrench, fully tighten axle nuts. Axle nuts should be tightened to 250 lb*in.

Plug motor connection by aligning arrows on each end of the connector and slide together.

Once connectors are plugged, you must test connection. Install the battery as described in Chapter 8 ―Battery
Management‖ section c ―Installing and locking the battery‖. Turn the ignition key to ―ON‖ at the battery base. LED lights on
throttle will light up displaying power to the motor. Pull the front motor wheel off the ground (if the bicycle is not turned
upside down) and turn the throttle to test the motor. If the motor turns, the connection is solid. If motor does not turn, turn
key to ―OFF‖ position at battery and then check the motor connector to ensure a solid connection has be made. Test
again after checking.

After confirming a solid connection, use the cable tie to connect the motor cable to the side of the suspension fork and
once tightened, cut off the extended amount.
