Repair and Service Maintenance WARNING: • Inspect the product frequently. Failure to inspect the product and to make repairs or adjustments, as necessary, can result in injury to the rider or to others. Make sure all parts are correctly assembled and adjusted as written in this manual and any “Special Instructions”. • Immediately replace any damaged, missing, or badly worn parts with original equipment.
Maintenance Tires Maintenance: • Frequently check the tire inflation pressure because all tires lose air slowly over time. For extended storage, keep the weight of the off the tires. • Do not use unregulated air hoses to inflate the tire/tubes. An unregulated hose can suddenly over inflate tires and cause them to burst. • Replace worn tires. WARNING : Do not ride or sit on the unit if a tire is under inflated. This can damage the tire, inner tube and rim.
Coaster Brakes Maintenance These models are equipped with a rear ‘coaster’ brake that is operated by rotating the crank backwards. Operate the coaster brake as follows: • Push the pedals backward to move the chain backward • The chain activates the coaster brake mechanism that is inside the rear wheel hub • As you push the pedals backward with increasing force, the braking action of the coaster brake increases. Chain Adjustment WARNING: • The chain must remain on the sprockets.
Linear Pull Brake System Adjustment - Before Starting Maintenance IF EQUIPPED: The Following Sections Describe Final Brake System Adjustments Required Before Riding. • Inflate Tires to recommended pressure on Tire side wall. • Make sure Tire is centered in Fork. • If Needed, Re-attach Front Brake Cable: • Squeeze the two Brake arms together . • Insert the Brake Cable Guide into the cutout in the Guide Bracket . • Make sure the Brake Cable Guide is seated securely in the Guide Bracket cutout.

Do this test again, until the cable does not move in the cable clamp.
Maintenance Lubrication WARNING: • Do not over lubricate. If oil gets on the wheel rims or the brake shoes, it will reduce brake performance and a longer distance to stop the bicycle will be necessary. Injury to the rider or to others can occur. • The chain can throw excess oil onto the wheel rim. Wipe excess oil off the chain. • Keep all oil off the surfaces of the pedals where your feet rest. • Using soap and hot water, wash all oil off the wheel rims, the brake shoes, the pedals, and the tires.
Maintenance Frequently check the bearings of the bicycle. Have a bicycle service shop lubricate the bearings once a year or any time they do not pass the following tests: Head Tube Bearings The fork should turn freely and smoothly at all times. With the front wheel off the ground, you should not be able to move the fork up, down, or side-to-side in the head tube. Crank Bearings The crank should turn freely and smoothly at all times and the front sprockets should not be loose on the crank.
