REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE
1 Slide the panel on the wheel
cover to the side to expose tire valve.
Note: The pressurized air supplies found at gasoline stations are designed to inflate high-volume automobile tires. If you decide to use such an air supply to inflate your RipRider 360˚ Caster T
rike tire, first make sure the pressure gauge is working, then use very short bursts to inflate to the correct PSI. If you inadvertently over
-inflate the tire, release the excess pressure immediately.
Check the Razor web site for any updates on the latest repair and maintenance procedures.
Inflating the Tires
The front tire is inflated when shipped, but it will invariably lose some pressure between the point of manufacturing and your purchase.
2 Use a bicycle style tire pump
equipped for a Schrader-type valve.
Adjusting the Brakes
1 To adjust the brake play, thread
the brake lever adjuster in or out 1/4 to 1/2 turn until the desired brake adjustment is attained. Most adjustments are complete at this step. If brake still needs further adjustment, proceed to step 2.
2 If the brake lever adjuster is
threaded outward and the brake still has too much slack, use the front caliper brake adjuster for additional adjustment.
3 Inflate the front tire to the lbs.
indicated on the sidewall of tire.
3 If brake still has too much slack,
adjust the brake cable by loosening the nut that secures the cable with a 10mm wrench. Pull the brake closed so the pads almost touch the wheel. Pull cable tight and tighten the nut.
