1. 2005 PACIFICCYCLE WHEELS AND TIRES Tire Inspection Tires must be maintained properly to ensure road holding and stability Check the following areas Wheel Inspection It is most important that wheels are kept in top condition Properly maintaining your scooter s wheels will help braking performance and stability when riding Be aware of the following potential problems Inflation Ensure tires are inflated to the pressure indicated on the tire sidewalls It is better to use a tire gauge and a hand pump than a service station pump Caution If inflating tires with a service station pump take care that sudden over inflation e Dirty or greasy rims does not cause tire to blow out Caution These can render your brakes ineffective Do not clean them with oily or greasy materials When cleaning use a clean rag or wash with soapy water rinse and air dry Don t ride while they re wet When lubricating your scooter don t get oil on the rim braking surfaces Bead Seating When inflating or refitting tire make sure that the bead is properly seated in the rim Tread Check that the tread shows no signs of excessive wear or flat spots and that there are no cuts or other damage e Wheels not straight g Caution Excessively worn or damaged tires should be replaced Lift each wheel off the ground and spin them to see if they are crooked or out of true If wheels are not straight they will need to be adjusted This is quite difficult2. Ensure the Brake fixing nut is secured tightly Failure to do this may cause the Brake assembly Side Pull Brakes to dislodge from the fork 41 2005 PACIFICCYCLE Fully Adjustable Brake Shoes Curved Adjustment Some brakes have a special mechanism which enables you to set the clearance on either side of the rim using a screwdriver Brake pads should finally be adjusted so that the leading edge of the pad makes first contact with the rim Some brakes have special curved washers to allow this but on less complex models it will be necessary to apply a little force to the pad and its mounting Adjustment Cantilever Calipers Minor brake adjustment can be made via the barrel cable adjusters which are located on each brake lever To adjust squeeze the brake pads against the rim loosen the lock nut and turn the adjuster to pull the brake pads closer to or spread them away from the rim as required Brake pad clearance should be a maximum 2mm from the rim When correct re tighten the lock nut If the pads cannot be set close enough to the rim in this manner you may have to adjust either the length of the straddle cable or the length of the brake cable If the brakes use a separate brake cable and straddle cable adjust the straddle length by first screwing the barrel adjuster 3 4 of the way in then loosening the straddle cable fixing bolt then pulling or pushing the cable through the fixing bolt to adjust the length and final

Never take your hands off the handlebars J O O1 BR ND The Consumer Protection Safety Commission advises that the riding of small wheel diameter scooters at excessive speeds can lead to instability and is not recommended Children should be made aware of all possible riding hazards and correct riding behavior before they take to the streets Do not leave it up to trial and error Always wear safety equipment such as helmet knee pads and elbow pads Always wear a helmet when riding your scooter and keep the chinstrap securely buckled Always wear shoes Ride on smooth paved surfaces away from motor vehicles Avoid sharp bumps drainage grates and sudden surface changes Scooter may suddenly stop 09 2005 PACIFICCYCLE Avoid streets and surfaces with water sand gravel dirt leaves and other debris Wet weather impairs traction braking and visibility Do not ride at night Brake will get hot from continuous use Do not touch after braking Avoid excessive speed associated with downhill rides Adults must assist children in the initial adjustment procedures to unfold scooter adjust handlebar and steering to height and finally to fold scooter Obey all local traffic and scooter riding laws and regulations Watch out for pedestrians Check and secure all fasteners before every ride Replace worn or broken parts immediately SCOOTER CARE Security It is advisable that the following steps be taken to p
4. The tire valve allows air to enter the tire s inner tube under pressure but doesn t let it back out unless you want it to There are primarily two kinds of scooter tube valves actually there are other designs but they are seldom seen in the US any more The Schraeder Valve and the Presta Valve The scooter pump you use must have the fitting appropriate to the valve stems on your scooter The Schraeder is like the valve on a car tire To inflate a Schraeder valve tube remove the valve cap and push the air hose or pump fitting onto the end of the valve stem To let air out of a Schraeder valve depress the pin in the end of the valve stem with the end of a key or other appropriate object The Presta valve has a narrower diameter and is only found on scooter tires To inflate a Presta valve tube using a Presta headed scooter pump remove the valve cap unscrew counterclockwise the valve stem lock nut and push down on the valve stem to free it up Then push the pump head on to the valve head and inflate To inflate a Presta valve with a gas station air hose you ll need a Presta adapter available at your bike shop which screws on to the valve stem once you ve freed up the valve The adapter fits the end of the air hose fitting Close the valve after inflation To let air out of a Presta valve open up the valve stem lock nut and depress the valve stem 50 2005 PACIFICCYCLE LIMITED WARRANTY Pu rchase Reco rd Card AND POLICY ON REPLAC
5. How a tire performs under different terrain or weather conditions depends largely on tire pressure Inflating the tire to near its maximum recommended pressure gives the lowest rolling resistance but also produces the harshest ride High pressures work best on smooth dry pavement Very low pressures at the bottom of the recommended pressure range give the best performance on smooth slick terrain such as hard packed clay and on deep loose surfaces such as deep dry sand Tire pressure that is too low for your weight and the riding conditions can cause a puncture of the tube by allowing the tire to deform sufficiently to pinch the inner tube between the rim and the riding surface CAUTION Pencil type automotive tire gauges and gas station air hose pressure settings can be inaccurate and should not be relied upon for consistent accurate pressure readings Instead use a high quality dial gauge Check inflation as described in you ll know how correctly inflated tires should look and feel Some tires may need to be brought up to pressure every week or two 49 2005 PACIFICCYCLE Some special high performance tires have unidirectional treads their tread pattern is designed to work better in one direction than in the other The sidewall marking of a unidirectional tire will have an arrow showing the correct rotation direction If your bike has unidirectional tires be sure that they are mounted to rotate in the correct direction 2 Tire Valves
