Note: If green light (LED) does not
turn on, try a different outlet.
Note: Make sure power is turned
OFF when unit is not in use. If
the power switch is left on for

Batteries are only to be charged
under adult supervision. The charger
is not a toy. Always disconnect the
charger before wiping down and/or
cleaning the DXT Electric Drift Trike
with a damp cloth.
The charger supplied with the DXT
Electric Drift Trike should be regularly
examined for damage to the cord,
plug, enclosure and other parts.
In the event of such damage, the
DXT Electric Drift Trike must not be
charged until it has been repaired
or replaced.
Chargers have built-in overcharge
protection to prevent battery from
being overcharged.
Note: If the charger gets warm
during regular use, this is a normal
response and is no cause for concern.
If your charger does not get warm
during use, it does not mean that it is
not working properly.

ASSEMBLY AND SET-UP
Checking Spoke Tension
1 Verify spoke tension by grasping and shaking each spoke. Spoke
should not be loose from hub. Look for any play between spoke flanges
where it mates with hub. Try to turn nipple using your fingers. You
should not be able to spin any nipple by hand. If one or more spokes
are loose, or if you can turn any nipple using your fingers, all spokes
must be checked and need to be tightened with a spoke tightener.
2 Start with spoke closest to tire
valve and tighten each nipple. In
sequence, exactly 1/4 to 1/2 turn.
A single 1/4 to 1/2 turn may not
be enough to bring the spokes into
proper tension. Continue tightening
all spokes in sequence, no more than
1/2 turn until all spokes are tight.
WARNING: Regularly check
the spoke tension and retighten
the spokes whenever loose. If you
have any doubt, ask an experienced
motorcycle or bicycle mechanic to
inspect your spokes to determine
if the spokes need tightening or
adjusting.
Note: Tightening each nipple more
than a 1/2 turn each can cause the
wheel to become distorted and
wobbly, thus permanently damaging
the wheel.
