ZAP DX Manual De Usuario

It is a good idea to periodically go

through this checklist to make sure that

your ZAP Power System and your bike

are in proper adjustment for safety and

optimal performance. It is imperative

that you review this checklist before

your first ride. Although your

PowerBike

or ElectriCruizer

has

passed our Quality Assurance proce-

dure, things can happen during ship-

ping which may alter the adjustment of

the system.

1. Check Tire Pressure: The tires on your

PowerBike

should be at their maximum tire pres-

sure (65 PSI-pounds per square inch), and the

tires on your ElectriCruizer

should be at 40 PSI.

If you installed a kit on your own bike, then check

to see that the tire pressure is at the recommend-

ed value for the tires you have.

2. Check Motor Alignment:

Make sure

the roller is centered on the tire so that there isn’t

a possibility of one of the motors rubbing against

the tire. If it needs adjustment, simply loosen the

motor mount bolts, center the system and re-tight-

en. Wheels should be running straight & true.

3. Check Motor Engagement: Make sure

that the roller engages and compresses the tire by

approximately 1/16” when the cam lever is in the

down position. If it is more or less, loosen the

motor mount bolts and adjust by moving the sys-

tem up (if more than 1/16”) or down (if less than

1/16”). Then re-tighten the motor mount bolts.

4. Check Brake Pad Alignment: Make

sure your front and rear brake pads are not rub-

bing the rim, tire or spokes. If they are, we rec-

ommend having them adjusted by a professional

bike mechanic at a bicycle store.

5. Check Battery Tray Stability:

Make

sure the battery is properly secured to the tray.

Attach the Velcro flaps to the sides of the Battery

Tray. Route the strap under the battery tray and

thread through the “D” ring. With the battery

secure, check to see that the tray is properly fixed

to the bike by trying to move the battery and tray

a bit. Tighten the two worm drive clamps if they

need tightening, but be sure not to over tighten

(which may strip the clamps).

6. Be sure all wire connections, espe-

cially battery terminals, are tight.

7. On the PowerBike, check the Quick

Release levers on both wheels.

8. Wear your ANSI or Snell-approved

helmet.

9. Use front and rear lights when

riding at night, and be sure all

reflectors are properly affixed.

Now you are ready, so

have a good ride!!!
