DAILY CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The chain will typically have a “loose spot” and “tight spot” corresponding with a particular sprocket
rotational position. This is normal and common to all chain-driven vehicles due to run-out tolerances of
the freewheel and sprocket. The chain should be adjusted to the ideal tension with chain in the tightest
spot. Proper chain alignment must be maintained. The wheel must not be skewed. If the chain is noisy or
rough running, check the lubrication, tension and alignment of the sprockets, in that order.
Do not store the battery in temperatures above 75°F or below -10°F. After every use, fully charge the
battery to prolong its lifespan.
