recommended to be used. Check the aftermarket bearings
fit on the axle before installing into the wheel, otherwise
aftermarket bearings may become stuck on the shaft
because their tolerance isn’t within specification.
SERVICING & MAINTENANCE
The Raith Midnight is designed to operate with minimal
maintenance required, however due to the mechanical
nature of the Raith Precision direct drive system, some
regular maintenance is recommended.
We recommend to clean your board regularly, wiping it
down with a lightly damp microfibre cloth and wiping dry
after with a fresh dry cloth – do not use cleaning products.
Before each ride, we recommended checking over the
screws on the board, ensuring none have come loose due
to vibration. A medium strength blue thread-locker is
recommended to apply to any loose screws before
tightening them.
Every 500km to a year we recommend to check the
bearings of your Raith Precision Direct Drive system and if
necessary, clean and apply new grease.
1. Remove the axle nut with your skate tool, and slide your
wheel, drive collar and motor CAN assembly off the axle
making sure not to strike the CAN of the motor on the
axle.
2. Loosen the 5 screws holding the outer drive collar to
the wheel, carefully remove the outer drive collar and
place it to the side. Then pull out the inner drive collar
assembly from the wheel, it will require some pulling
force, wiggle from side to side to loosen it. Keep note
of the spoke hole the painted spoke was removed from
and annotate this hole with a permanent marker, make
sure it is re-installed in the same orientation when
reinstalling.
3. Check for dirt and dust and use a clean rag to wipe off
the grease, dirt and contaminants. It is recommended
to use kerosene to dissolve dirt and old oil and grease
from the bearings. There are two 608 bearings located
in the wheel and a needle roller bearing located in
between the drive collar and the motor. Remove the
three M3 screws from the drive collar to enable
separation of the drive collar and the motor CAN. Use
a screw driver to rotate the drive collar in relation to the
motor and separate the drive collar and bearing from
the motor. The drive collar and bearing can then be
cleaned with kerosene separate from the motor.
