Chain tension adjustments. Proper chain care and maintenance is essential to longevity and wear of the drive components on your chain drive scooter. • Make sure that the sprockets are perfectly aligned to each other. Use a long straight edge or you can check this visually by lining up the rear sprocket with the front and seeing that the chain is straight. • For scooters equipped with a chain tensioner: The chain tensioner is a critical element in chain maintenance. As you ride your scooter the chain will stretch over time and without some tension you can derail a chain and cause permanent damage to the drive components and/or cause a loss in control of your scooter.

The four screws that hold the motor in place can be loosened to allow you to realign the sprockets if necessary. • For scooters equipped with a pivoting motor mount chain tension adjustment: The motor mount on units with a pivoting motor mount allows chain tension adjustment to accommodate chain stretch and/or sprocket wear. To adjust the motor mount simply loosen the two 3/8 nylock nuts located on the right side of the scooter and pivot the motor mount forward until the specified chain tension is achieved. Once the desired tension is achieved, retighten 3/4"
