Additionally, a worn, damaged, or broken motion drive belt can result in loss of drive; replace the motion drive belt. Air trapped in the transmission during shipment or servicing can also cause this; purge the transmission. Finally, a missing axle key can be the issue; install the axle key at the rear wheel (see "TO REMOVE WHEEL" in the Service and Adjustments section).
