Repair and Service
WARNING:
• Inspect the model frequently. Failure to inspect the model 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.
• Make sure all fasteners are correctly tightened as written in this manual and any “Special Instructions”. Parts that are not tight enough can be lost or oper­ate poorly. Over tightened parts can be damaged. Make sure any replacement
fasteners are the correct size and type.
NOTE: Have a bike service shop make any repairs or adjustments for which you do not have the correct tools or if the instructions in this manual or any “Special Instruc-
tions” are not sufcient for you.
Maintenance
Torque Chart
Recommended Torque:
Use of a torque wrench is recommended. Recommended torque for each fastener is
listed below. In addition to tightening to the recommended torque, please ensure the
parts of the product are sufciently tightened by performing the functional tests (in the component assembly sections of the owner’s manual) on each component as it is
tightened. NOTE: Please check that all fasteners on the product are torqued according to the
table below:
Recommended Torque for clean, dry threads: How to Measure:
Fastener Size Torque (ft-lb / N•m)
Screw or bolt size is determined
by the width at the THREADS
as shown.
.157 in (4 mm) 3.1 ft-lbs (4.2 N•m)
.196 in (5 mm) 5 ft-lbs (6.8 N•m)
.236 in (6 mm) 7 ft-lb (9.5 N•m)
.275 in (7 mm) 12 ft-lbs (16.3 N•m)
.314 in (8 mm) 17 ft-lbs (23 N•m)
.393 in (10 mm) 33 ft-lbs (44.7 N•m)
Pedals 24 ft-lbs (30 N•m)

Maintenance
Tires
Maintenance:
Frequently check the tire ination pressure because all tires lose air slowly over
time. For extended storage, keep the weight of the model off the tires.
Do not use unregulated air hoses to inate the inner tubes. An unregulated hose
can suddenly over inate model tires and cause them to burst.
Replace worn tires.
CAUTION: Do not ride or sit on the model if a tire is under inated. This can
damage the tire and inner tube.
Inating the Tires:
Use a hand or a foot pump to inate the tires.
• Service station meter-regulated air hoses are also acceptable.
The maximum ination pressure is shown on the tire sidewall.
If two ination pressures are on the tire sidewall, use the higher pressure for on- road riding and the lower pressure for off-road riding.
• The lower pressure will provide better tire traction and a more comfortable ride.
Before adding air to any tire, make sure the edge of the tire (the bead) is the same
distance from the rim, all around the rim, on both sides of the tire. If the tire does not appear to be seated correctly, release air from the inner tube until you can push the bead of the tire into the rim where necessary. Add air slowly and stop frequently to
check the tire seating and the pressure, until you reach the correct ination pressure.
Tire Pressure Table
Recommended Tire Pressure
(kilopascals):
Frequently check the tire ination
pressure because all tires lose air
slowly over time. For extended
storage, keep the weight of the product off the tires.
Recommended tire pressure is marked
on the side of the tire. Conversion from PSI to Kilopascals is shown here.

Maintenance
Tire and Tube Replacement
STEP 1 - Remove Existing Tire and Tube:
1 2 3
A
Steps (start opposite Filler Valve):
1. Insert a Tire Lever under Tire Bead (A).
2. Hook end of Tire Lever on a spoke.
3. Insert second Tire Lever and slide along rim to remove tire bead.
4. Remove Inner Tube and Tire.
5. Inspect for cause of at and remove any foreign object from the tire if necessary.
1. Using your hands, start with one Bead (A) of Tire (B) and install it all the way
around Rim (C).
2. Insert a slightly inated Inner Tube (D) into
the Tire and make sure the Valve Stem (E) is straight and aligned with the Rim Hole.
3. Work the second Tire Bead onto the Rim all the way around. This will take a little more
effort than the rst Tire Bead did. Use Tire
Lever Tools if needed.
4. Make sure the Tube does not get pinched
between Rim and Tire.
5. Inate Tire just enough that it takes shape.
6. Double check that both Tire Beads are seated properly and that the Valve Stem is pointing straight out.
7. Fully inate tube to recommended pressure listed on Tire side wall - do not over-inate.
8. Install Valve Cap.

Lubrication Table
What When How
Pedals every six months Put four drops of oil where the axles go into
the pedals.
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 model will be neces­sary. Injury to the rider or to others can occur.
• Keep all oil off the surfaces of the pedals where your feet rest.
• Using soap and hot water, wash all oil off the wheels, the pedals, and the tires.
Rinse with clean water and dry completely before you ride the model.
Using a light machine oil (20W), lubricate the model according to the following table:
Maintenance
25
Inspection of the Bearings
Maintenance
Frequently check the bearings of the model. Lubricate or have a bicycle service shop lubricate the bearings once a year or any time the front wheel does not spin freely and easily.
Wheel Bearings
Lift the front wheel off the ground and slowly spin the wheel by hand. The bearings are correctly adjusted if:
• The wheel spins freely and easily.
• There is no side-to-side movement at the wheel rim when you push it to the side with light force.
