Direct Bikes DB50QT-16, DB50QT-5 User Manual

Introduction

Direct Bikes thanks you for purchasing your new

DB50QT-16 / DB50QT-5 scooter. We produce our

scooters using some of the most advanced

production techniques in the world.

We want you to enjoy your new machine and have

compiled a basic manual for you that covers the

assembly out of the crate and the basic

maintenance. Please read carefully. If in any doubt

consult a suitably qualified person or our technical

department.

Proper assembly and maintenance will ensure your

safety and the long service life of the machine.

Identification

The VIN or chassis number is located on the frame
of the scooter and is either under the seat or under

the clip in cover in the front of the footwell. The

engine number is located on the left side on the

bottom of engine.

Tools

Please have a selection of good quality tools ready

which include; Cutters, knife, hammer, 8, 10, 12, 13,

14, 17mm sockets and spanners, ratchet, extension

bar, flat screwdriver’s, Philip screwdriver’s, pliers,

magnetic tray, lube, multi-purpose grease and

cleaning cloths.

The Crate

Before starting check the model details against the

invoice details and any signs of damage to the box.

Please ensure you have adequate space. Using

scissors cut the nylon bands that surround the box

and discard. Cut the cardboard to reveal the steel

frame supporting the scooter. You will now need a

13mm socket on a bar or ratchet and a 13mm

spanner. Undo the front wheel from the frame.

Undo all the lower nuts and bolts securing the upper

portion of the frame. Undo the bolts securing the

handlebars and the rear carry rack.

Wearing gloves and using two people, lift the upper

part of the frame off the scooter. Be careful not to

scratch the paintwork. The scooter is now held in

by only the front spindle. Stood at the rear of the

scooter, lift it out of the frame to the right and put

the centre stand down. One person holds the back

down whilst the other person undoes the spindle

and releases the scooter from the frame completely.

Discard the metal frame. Remove all the protective

packaging and the ancillaries from the footwell.

Assembly

Screen

The screen mounting kit utilises the mirror mounts

to fix it to the scooter. Start by sliding 2 of the plastic

lugs over the L shaped chrome bars. The bars are

handed left and right. Next screw 1 nut onto the

short threaded part all the way, finger tight. Put the

mirror mount on so that the flat part faces down. Put

the other nut on finger tight. Next place the mirror

through the hole, though the spacer and screw into

the mirror mount on the handle bar. The uprights

should be on the inside. Next put the rubber pads

over the chrome screen fixings and push through

the front of screen. Put the 4 rubber washers on the

back of the screen and mount the assembly onto

the frame. Use the M6 nuts and washers to fasten

the screen. Position the screen and tighten.

Top box

The top box is supplied with a universal fitting kit.

The two long slotted bars go on the inside of the

box. Put the long M6 screws (4 of) through the slots

and line the box on the rack so that it is central. Use

the 4 smaller slotted bars underneath. Fix in place

with the nuts and washers provided. Cover with the

protective foam mat A maximum weight of 10 kilos

is recommended. The weight may also alter the

handling of the scooter.
