Mechanical Safety Check. Here is a simple procedure you should get in the habit of before you get on your scooter: A. Nuts, bolts, and structural: Due to vibration, nuts and bolts can become loose. Make sure that all fasteners are securely fastened and tighten if necessary. Pick your scooter off the ground a few inches and bounce it off the ground. Do a quick visual and tactile inspection of the whole scooter/ kart. Make sure you look at all visible nuts, bolts and structural welds. If anything sounds, feels or looks loose or shows signs of stress then replace, or secure them. If you’re not sure, ask someone with experience to check, or ask an authorized dealer to show you what to look for in a mechanical safety check. WARNING: Inspect unit before each use. Make any required adjustments, and replace or repair any item that may need it. B. Tires and Wheels: Check that pneumatic tires are properly inflated. Refer to the sidewall of the tire for recommended PSI. Checking PSI using a tire pressure gauge is recommended but you can also bounce your weight on the scooter and compare tire deflection to how it looks when you know the tires are properly inflated. Spin the wheels and check that the tires have not yet reached the wear marks on the tires, have ripped, torn, or show any signs of distress, and replace as neces- sary. Make sure the wheels spin freely and true. If wheels wobble and/or rub the brakes then make proper adjustments before proceeding with the Mechanical Safety Check. C. Brakes: Squeeze the brake levers and check that they are getting proper contact with the disc. Full braking force is applied when you squeeze the lever and the lever cannot touch the handle bar or grip. The brakes should not interfere with the rotation of the wheel when not applied. Make sure that the brake caliper gets full contact with the disc. Make sure that all brake surfaces are clean and free of debris. Do not ride the scooter until the brakes are properly adjusted. WARNING: Never ride with improperly adjusted brakes. D. Control levers and cables: Familiarize yourself with the levers and controls. Squeeze and or twist all levers/controls and make sure they are functioning properly. If they stick, move at the base, or do not get full range of motion, make adjustments as necessary or take to an authorized Go-Ped® dealer for service. Do not ride the scooter until the control levers and cables are properly adjusted. WARNING: Never ride with improperly adjusted controls and cables.
