Page 5: Testing the brakes, Inflating the tires
WARNING: The brake
is capable of skidding the tire and
throwing an unsuspecting rider.
Practice in an open area free from
obstacles until you are familiar with
the brake function. Avoid skidding
to a stop as this can cause you to
lose control or damage the rear tire.
Note: The brake lever contains a
safety switch to stop the motor
when the brake is applied. In an
emergency, applying the brake
will always stop the motor. Do not
disable or replace this lever with
anything other than a genuine Razor
replacement part.

Turn power switch off before conducting any maintenance procedures.

Adjusting the Brakes
1
To adjust the play, thread the
brake lever adjuster in or out 1/4
to 1/2 turn until the desired brake
adjustment is attained. Most
adjustments are complete at this
step. If brake still needs further
adjustment, proceed to step 2.
2
If the brake lever adjuster is
threaded outward and the brake
still has too much slack, use the
rear brake adjuster for additional
adjustment.
Testing the Brakes
To use the brake, squeeze the lever to increase the pressure on the brake. The brake lever is fitted with a cable adjuster
to compensate for cable stretch and/or to fine-tune the lever movement to brake engagement. If brake is not engaging
properly, follow instructions for adjusting the brakes outlined on the next page.
❑
Inflating the Tires
Tires are inflated when shipped, but they invariably lose some pressure between the point of manufacturing and
your purchase.
1
Using a bicycle style tire pump
equipped for a Schrader-type valve,
inflate the front tire to the PSI
indicated on the sidewall of the
tire.
Note: The pressurized air supplies
found at gasoline stations are
designed to inflate high-volume
automobile tires. If you decide to
use such an air supply to inflate
your Pocket Mod tires, first make
sure the pressure gauge is working,
then use very short bursts to
inflate to the correct PSI. If you
inadvertently over-inflate the
tire, release the excess pressure
immediately.
