7) CONNECTING
THE
REAR
BRAKE
CABLE
Step 1) At the rear brake
assembly, located at the
back wheel, unhook the
rear brake cable barrel
end. This made easier by
squeezing the cantilever
brakes towards the rim to
decrease the cable tension
in order to unhook the rear
brake cable barrel end
from the brake unit. Also
make sure to screw (by turning clockwise) in the barrel adjuster
all the way into the brake lever. (This will make the brake wire
easier to work with by increasing the slack in the brake cable).
Step 2) On the rear brake lever, line up the slots on the barrel
adjuster and adjuster locknut with the slots on the brake lever.
Insert the brake cable into the brake lever. Turn the barrel so
that the slots are no longer aligned.
Step 3) Re-attach the brake cable to the rear brake assembly.
(Before you ride the bike, make sure that the brakes are prop-
erly adjusted).
8) PEDAL INSTALLATION
Screw pedals into crank
arms and tighten with
a 15mm open-ended
wrench to proper torque.
The right pedal tightens
clockwise and the left
pedal tightens counter-
clockwise.
9) REFLECTORS
Step 1) Inspect the rear
reflector and reflector
bracket to make sure that
they are tight. The rear
reflector should be perpen-
dicular with the ground.
Step 2) Attach the front
reflector bracket to the hole
in the front fork crown.
(
The front fork crown is located immediately above the front
wheel
). Inspect the front reflector and reflector bracket to make
sure that they are tight. The front reflector should be perpen
-
dicular with the ground.
10) TIRE PRESSURE
All ZAP bicycle tires should be inflated to the maximum recom
-
mended pressure printed on the tires. It is normal for bicycle
tires to lose a little tire pressure every week. Since proper tire
pressure is critical to the operation of your ZAP motor, please
check your tire pressure weekly.
11) FINAL BICYCLE INSPECTION
Give your ZAP Electric Bicycle a mechanical safety check.
Correct procedure for a safety check can be found in your ZAP
Owner’s Manual Supplemental.
12) FINAL ZAP POWER SYSTEM INSPECTION
Make sure your ZAP motor is positioned correctly on the bicy
-
cle. Refer to installation instructions in your ZAP Owner’s
Manual. Charge the battery completely before riding. It is very
important to the life of your battery that you completely charge
the battery immediately after every use.
ZAP DEFLATES THE
TIRES BEFORE PACKAGING THE BIKE TO PREVENT DAM
-
AGE DURING SHIPPING. INFLATE BOTH TIRES TO 55 PSI.
BE SAFE! Always wear a helmet when riding
You’re done! Now you can look forward to great fun and
becoming a pioneer riding on your ZAP Electric Bicycle!
