QUICK START GUIDE
New bike day is awesome. You’ve likely been hurrying through
the build of your new electric bike as fast as you can so you can
get it out on the road. We know, we’re the same way. But we need
to do a few things first to set your bike up for safe operation and
to set your battery up for the first ride. Please ensure you follow
all steps in the quick start in the bullet points to the right.
When we ship the battery, it is in storage mode which means that
it is at about 50% charge so it will need more energy before you
start. If you ride the bike uncharged you could cause problems
with the battery. So let’s charge it up first. ‘
Before your first ride, it is your responsibility as the owner of a
Lyric Cycle to check a number of key things before your first ride.
We suggest checking the items in the quick start steps before
every ride to ensure a safe ride each time.
LYRIC GRAFFITI QUICK START QUICK START STEPS
• Check the battery charge level. For the first charge, charge the
battery to 100%. After this, ensure that your battery charge will
be enough for the ride you’re planning.
• Check the Headlight, Tail Light, & Turn Signals
• Check Wheel Mount and Rotation – Wheels should spin straight,
axles should be tight.
• Check Tire Pressure (12-20 psi F&R)
• Check Front & Rear Brakes and alignment (Should not hear disc
noise when the wheels are freely rotating) Adjust the brake align-
ment if you hear rubbing
• Check the brake rotors to ensure all bolts are tight
• Check Battery Charge Level
• Check headset, axle, and handlebar nuts for tightness.
• Start your ride slowly and get used to the power of your bike
whether it is your first time or you’re a seasoned rider. Ensure you
are using Power assist level 1 to start off.
Please ensure you get started safely by reading this section and ensuring you have checked all
items in the quick start steps

All of the components of your new Lyric Electric Bike have been
carefully selected to function together. This includes the batter-
ies, battery management systems (inside the batteries), motor,
motor controller, display, and lighting. Changing any of these
components to anything other than original equipment provided
by Lyric Cycles will compromise your warranty and could cause
damage to other components in your bikes electric system.
Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
YOUR BIKES ELECTRIC SYSTEM OVERVIEW OF ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
In this section we will go over all of the components that make up
your bikes electircal system. The components that will be reviewed
in the next pages are:
• Battery
• Controller
• Motor
• Display
• Cadence Sensor
• Throttle
• Lighting
• Brakes

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OVERVIEW
OPERATING TEMPERATURE
Your electric bike has optimal operating tempera-
tures ranges where it will perform best. Operating in
below freezing temperatures will affect battery per-
formance. More information on this subject is in the
battery section of this manual.
Your controller and motor have temperature cut-offs
programmed to ensure that they don’t continue to
operate hotter than is safe. If you experience your
motor cutting out, a high temperature cut off could be
the cause.

BATTERY
Range for electric bikes is a widely discussed topic and marketed
feature. The challenge with determining an accurate range for an
electric bike is that the range is impacted greatly by many dierent
factors:
• Weight of the rider
• Number, size, and slope of hills on the ride
• Average travelling speed
• Number of instances of hard acceleration
• Amount of time travelling at the bikes top speed
You can use the Eggrider app to track your rides and eeciency.
Eggrider will show you for your ride what your watt hours per mile/
km are. This will give you some indication about the battery usage for
your previous rides and help to inform you of how dierent usage af-
fects your eciency and range. You’ll notice that easy riding, without
hard acceleration, high speeds, and long hills increases your ecien-
cy significantly.
RANGE
Did you know that the battery in your bicycle is the most signifi-
cant cost to repair and replace? Because of this we suggest that
you take great care in charging, using, maintaining, and storing
your battery. Proper care and maintenance will help you get the
most out of your battery and extend its life as long a possible.
The battery in your Lyric Cycle is made of Lithium Polymer cells
which have been the tried and tested technology in powertools,
ebikes, and even electric cars. These batteries are high perfor-
mance and will last you many miles of trouble free performance if
taken care of properly.
On one side of your battery you will see a key hole that can be
used to lock the battery to the bike. Your battery should always be
locked to your bike when in use as the lock doubles as the saftey
measure to hold the battery securely while you ride. On the other
side of your battery you will find a power switch to turn the power
for the battery on or off. You will also find the charge port under a
rubber protector. Keep the protector over the charge port when
riding your bike and when storing the battery. This helps keep the
charge port sealed and dry.
Your batteries each contain a battery management system which
helps to charge the cells in your battery in balance as well as
draw from each cell in balance during use. This battery manage-
ment system also protects your batteries and will cut power if the
battery gets too hot, or if there is a voltage draw that is too high.
BATTERY OVERVIEW
The batteries in your Lyric Graffiti are removable, 52 volt batter-
ies with a 17.5ah (910wh) capacity. These batteries will have a
useable life of 1000 full cycles. A full cycle is from fully charged
to fully drained. So if you go for a ride and use only 20% of the
battery, that is 0.2 cycles. So a typical battery will last 5-6 years
for most people that use their bike often and even longer for more
casual riders.
EXPECTED BATTERY LIFE

9
BATTERY
Your Grati uses the Eggrider V2 display which works in harmony
with your motor controller to read information from your batteries
to give you information about your remaining battery power. Battery
percentage is read by the system based on voltage (see previous
section). 58.8V will be 100% charge, 44V will be 0% 52.4V will be
50%.
It’s good to understand how your bike is calculating remaining bat-
tery level so that you can accurately judge how far you can keep trav-
leing. Your remaining battery percentage can be aected by hard ac-
celeration, big hills, top speed tests, etc. This riding uses large current
draws that can create momentary reductions in the voltage reading
that can make your remaining battery appear less than it is. A return
to normal riding will slowly return the remaining battery to the correct
reading soon after.
For dual battery bikes, the bike will draw from both batteries at the
same time. Both batteries will drain at a slightly dierent rate, but the
remaining battery level will be taken as an average of both batteries. If
you turn o one battery and leave the other on, the bike will only drain
from the battery that’s on. You can choose to ride with both batteries
on or switch them on and o as you like.
Battery level can be seen on both the top of the display and the
Eggrider app when connected and in use (only when the bike is pow-
ered on and connected to the app)
READING BATTERY LEVEL CHARGING YOUR BATTERY
Ensure the battery is fully charged before your first ride. To connect
your charger to your battery, locate the charge port on the side of the
battery under the protective rubber plug. First, plug the charger into
the battery and then into your wall outlet. The charger will show a red
light indicating that the battery is charging. Once fully charged the
light indicator will turn green.
Remove the charger from the battery within one hour after it has
been completely charged. The charger will automatically stop
charging when the battery is full, however, unnecessary wear to the
charging components can occur if the charger is left attached to the
battery and power source for too long. The battery can be charged
after each use. Charging the battery after short rides will not cause
damage.
TIPS:
• Do not charge the battery in a wet/humidplace or anywhere ex-
posed to strong sunlight.
• Always charge your battery where temperatures are between 5
- 25 °C. Charging outside these temperatures can damage your
battery.
• Charge the battery with the supplied charger. Do not attempt
to use another charger as it may damage the battery or cause a
• fire or an explosion.
• Do not leave the battery unattended while charging.
• The battery can be charged on or off the bike. To remove the
battery, turn the key to the off and unlocked position.

10
BATTERY
Your battery should be balanced when you first receive your bike
and for the first three times you charge your battery. This is a pro-
cess of ensuring that every battery cell in the pack is at the same
voltage levels. Follow the steps below to blance the battery.
1. After the first, second, and third ride, regardless of distance
ridden or the amount of battery used, charge the battery
and leave the charger attached to the battery and the outlet
for as close to 12 hours as possible (but not longer than 12
hours).
2. Disconnect the charger from the outlet then the battery
once the first balance charge is complete.
3. On your next ride, ride as usual and discharge part (or all) of
the battery capacity.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for a total of three balance charging ses-
sions (as close to, but not longer than, 12 hours).
5. After the third balance charge and fourth ride, begin normal
charging procedures as per the battery charging tips (page
11).
Repeat this battery balancing procedure when your battery has
been stored for periods of 3 months or more at a time.
BATTERY BALANCING
You can easily remove your batteries from your bike with a sim-
ple operation. It is advised to remove your batteries when stor-
ing your bike in temperatures below 5 °C (41 °F), when you’re not
riding your bike for an extended period of time, or when left in a
public place unattended for long periods of time (batteries are
targets for theft!), or when transporting the bike.
Removing the Battery Pack(s)
1. Turn off the power on the bike.
2. Locate the keyhole on the battery in one of the front corners.
3. Unlock the battery using the provided key. by turning the key
counterclockwise.
4. Push the battery pack forwards, it should slide on its track.
5. Once it wil no longer slide forward you should be able to lift
the front of the battery pack.
6. The pack should now lift off its track. (careful it’s heavy!)
7. If you own a bike with a second battery follow this procedure
again for the second pack.
NOTE: If you have 2 battery packs and wish to ride with only one,
you may choose to do. Both batteries do not need to be connect-
ed for your bike to function.
REMOVING YOUR BATTERIES

11
BATTERY
For dual battery models the batteries will be used at the same time
while you ride. This allows you to ride without needing to switch be-
tween batteries or monitor battery levels in both batteries. You will
find that one battery will still run out sooner than another, this is to be
expected, it is not an exact draw from both batteries at the same time.
You may choose that you want to draw from only one battery at a
time. This can be useful on a long ride where you want to be sure you
have enough battery power to get back to your starting place. To do
this, just turn o one of the batteries using the battery power switch.
When you do this, your bikes electrical system will draw from only the
battery with the power on. When this battery drains turn the switch
on for the second battery and you will start using this battery to con-
tinue your ride.
The remaining battery percentage on dual battery models will de-
pend on whether you have both batteries turned on. Battery percent-
age remaining is based on the current voltage reading, which for dual
battery models is an average of the voltage of both batteries (only
when both batteries are on). So one battery may be at 30% remain-
ing while the other is at 70% remaining and the bike could be reading
50% remaining.
Utilizing both batteries will not allow the bike to acheive higher top
speeds as this is limited by the controller and battery management
systems to keep the electrical system in balance. It will, however,
maintain a higher average voltage longer which allows top speed
performance for a longer time period.
DUAL BATTERY SYSTEM
ISSUE RESOLUTION OPTIONS
Bike won’t power on • Remove and reinstall battery to test if
battery is correctly installed.
• Check that battery switch is on
• Check the battery power level by press-
ing test button on the side of the battery

BATTERY TROUBLESHOOTING

12
CONTROLLER & MOTOR
The controller is the heart and brains of your electric bike. It is lo-
cated under the seat in a space between the seat and the batter-
ies. Your Graffiti uses a 50A continuous sine wave controller with
90A peak capability. The controller is the central place where all
of the wiring for your bike starts and the controller is involved with
every function including:
• Pedal Sensor
• Throttle
• Battery Information
• Controller & Motor Temperature
• Regenerative Braking Performance
• Acceleration and Speed Performance.
Your controller is an advanced technology hardware compo-
nent and the Lyric Graffiti only uses high performance sine wave
controllers that have been carefully programmed to get the best
performance for your electric bike. The programming on your
controller is locked except for the changes that you can make
with the display. Any attempt to change settings or wiring of your
controller can damage the controller and will void your bikes war-
ranty.
If you suspect a probelm with the controllers function please
contact us at [e-mail]
CONTROLLER MOTOR
The Lyric Graffiti comes with a powerful direct-drive hub motor.
This motor drives the bike forward from the rear wheel using
large magnets. Lyric Graffiti uses a direct-drive hub as it is the
lowest maintenance type of motor for an electric bike. This motor
should give you years of trouble free maintenance. There are no
gear reduction gears (either metal or nylon) in a direct-drive mo-
tor. With fewer internal parts, this allows for lower maintenance
and less possibiliy of issues.
Your motor will heat up during use and can overheat under some
circumstances (Hot days, long or very steep hills, heavily loaded
bike, etc.) Your motor controller monitors your motor tempera-
ture and will cut power to the motor when it detects an overheat-
ing condition. If you suspect this to be the case carefully feel the
outer casing of the motor and if it feels hot it is best to wait some
time for it to cool off before riding again.
Care Tips:
• The motor can be subjected to rain and gentle water pres-
sure from a garden hose but high-pressure water should be
avoided as this can penetrate the motor seals.
• Ensure that the axle bolts are always tight as a loose motor
can wear down the frame or become dangerous to ride.
• When changing the rear tire, pay attention to the placement
and securing of the motor wire. Incorrect installation can
cause damage to the motor wire from other moving parts.

13
DISPLAY
The Lyric Graffiti uses the Eggrider V2 display. This is a com-
pact, high performance display that allows you to adjust some
of the parameters of your ride as well as track and log your rides
through the Eggrider mobile app (download available - Search
Eggrider)
For the basic features of your display:
• Power: Turns the bikes power on and off
• Up: Change the pedal assist level up
• Down: Change the pedal assist level down
• M: Mode button - this will change the bike from “Road” to
“Off-Road” settings.
• In “Road” setting your bike will operate to a top nom-
inal power setting. This is the legal setting for ebikes
in Canada and for Class 2 ebikes in the United States.
• In “Off-Road” settings your bikes top speed will not be
limited. This is advised to be used only in off-road and
private land areas.
• Off-road setting will provide more hill climbing power
and acceleration as it increases the amps/watts of the
motor.
• If in doubt of which mode to use, please be sure to under-
stand the local laws for ebikes in your area. These can differ
at the Provincial, State, and municipal level.

ADVANCED DISPLAY FUNCTIONS

14
Your Lyric Graffiti has 2 different methods to engage the electric
motor, the Pedal/Cadence Sensor and the Throttle. The Pedal/
Cadence Sensor is a small disc with megnetic sensors located
next to the crank. This sensor sends a signal to the motor con-
troller when you turn the pedals to lets the controller know you
are trying to move the bike. The amount of power delivered to the
wheel will depend on the pedal assist level you have set on the
display and the mode you are in (Road or Off-Road).
Pedal Assistance levels can be set in the Eggrider display for
both road and off-road settings. The pedal assist levels are based
on a pecentage of total power. So for a setting of “10” the power
assist will be 10% of the total power. Total power is 500W in road
mode for Canadian ebikes and 750W in road mode for Class 2
bikes in the United States. Off-Road is set to 4700W.
By default your bike has been set with 9 pedal assist settings with
the following parameters:
• Level 1: 5% assistance
• Level 2: 15% assistance
• Level 3: 30% assistance
• Level 4: 45% assistance
• Level 5: 60% assistance
PEDAL SENSOR THROTTLE
The Throttle can be found on the handlebar next to the right
grip. This is a thumb actuated lever that will activate the motor
at different levels depending on the amount the throttle level is
depressed.
The throttle power provided depends on the power assist level
selected and the amount you depress the throttle. In power as-
sist level 1 the throttle response will be the least and power assist
level 9 will be the most.
We understand that some people prefer to use a twist throttle, if
you choose to change your throttle to a twist throttle instead of
a thumb throttle we can not gaurantee the performance of your
bike. Each throttle part has different voltge operating ranges and
a different throttle can cause poor performance and/or error
conditions that will prevent your bike from working.
THROTTLE USAGE
The Lyric Graffiti is a high-powered electric bike with a
significant amount of torque in higher power settings.
Be sure to use the throttle carefully by starting off in
lower power level until you get used to the power and
throttle response of the bike.
• Level 6: 70% assistance
• Level 7: 80% assistance
• Level 8: 90% assistance
• Level 9: 100% assistance
PEDAL SENSOR & THROTTLE

15
LIGHTING & BRAKES
LIGHTING
The Lyric Graffiti is equipped with a tail lighT and a hi/low beam
headlight. The taillight will turn on when you switch on either
mode of the headlight. This helps to provide additional visibility to
the bike for your safety.
The headlight is operated with the 2-way switch located next to
the Eggrider display. The headlight has a high-beam and low-
beam setting. Low beam is switch setting “1” and hi-beam is
switch setting “2”. Off position is the neutral position in the middle.
The headlight on the Graffiti is a powerful light that draws battery
current separately from the controller. So use of the headlight
will consume some of the available amps from the batteries and
affect top end performance for the bike. Keep this in mind when
you are using the headlight and drive the bike conservatively.
You can adjust the angle of your headlight by tilting it up and
down. You may need to loosen the bolts on either side of the light
if it is too difficult to tilt.
The Graffiti is not wired for turn signals. If you choose to wire turn
signals onto your bike this will void your warranty as we can’t gau-
rentee the wiring of additional peripherals, lights and switches.
BRAKES & REGEN BRAKES
Brakes on your electric bike are hydraulic disc brakes, but the
brake levers are part of the overall electircal system. The brake
levers have electric switches in the levers that cut motor power
from both the throttle and pedal cadence sensors when either
one or both of the levers is pulled. This is a safety measure to en-
sure the bike doesn’t continue to power itself while you are ap-
plying the brakes.
In addition, the brake levers actuate the regenerative braking
function of the bike. The regenerative brakes will turn on only in
the following conditions:
• When the charge level of the battery is below 90% (this pre-
vents putting too much additional charge into the batteries
which can damage the batteries)
• When the speed of the bike is more than 6mph
When these conditions exist you don’t need to do anything addi-
tional to take advantage of the regenerative brakes, they will turn
on and help recharge your bike while you are riding.
Regenerative brakes will provide 5-10% of your charge back
while you are riding. Hills, heavier loads, and harder braking re-
quirements will increase the amount of recharge that is applied.

After your bike has been properly assembled and all compo-
nents are secured correctly, and you have read this entire manu-
al, turn on the bike with the power button on the Eggrider display
and select a pedal assist level following the steps below:
1. Check that the battery is locked securely. Try tugging on
the battery with the key removed; it should not move at all.
If it does, push it down and turn the key again to ensure it
latches.
2. Ensure you are wearing the correct safety gear (helmet,
pads) to prevent injury should you have an accident.
3. Turn on the bike with the power button on the top of the
Eggrider display.
4. Select the mode you wish to use based using the “M” mode
button on the display to switch between “Road” and “Off-
road” settings. (See caution note below right)
5. Select the assist level you wish to use with the “up” and
“down” arrows.
6. Begin pedaling the bike or press the throttle to begin for-
ward motion of the bike.
WARNING: Engaging the pedal assist feature, especially
at a high setting, will cause acceleration that may begreater
than expected, especially for relatively new riders, and that
can cause loss of control, serious injury, or death. To mini-
mize risk, start at assist level 1.
16
OPERATING YOUR EBIKE
START UP OPERATIONS
OFF-ROAD SETTING
The Off-Road setting on your Lyric Graffiti is a powerful
mode that is not meant for use in most municipal areas
(bike paths, trails, roads). This mode is meant to be used
in off-road conditions or on private land. You need to
understand your local laws and assume the risk of us-
ing the bike in this setting. Lyric Cycles Inc. assumes no
responsibility for improper use of the bike in this setting,
this is the riders responsibility.

Your Lyric Grati has a weight capacity of 325lbs including both the
bike and rider. This weight limit is due to the safe operating load for
both the brakes and the motor/controller/battery. Choosing to load
the bike beyond this capacity can cause the brakes to and power
system to overheat. Overheated brakes significantly reduces brak-
ing power. Your bikes electrical components are all programmed to
shut down if any one component reaches an unsafe temperature.
When this happens you will need to shut the bike down and wait until
components have a chance to cool o before continuing to ride.
WEIGHT LIMIT OF YOUR BIKE
17
OPERATING YOUR EBIKE
WEIGHT LIMIT
Choosing to load your Lyric Graffiti beyond the weight
capacity of 325lbs (bike plus rider plus cargo) can affect
your bikes performance and can cause brake and elec-
trical components to fail. This failure is most likely where
riding conditions have significant hill involved. Under-
stand the risks and proced with caution.
Respecting the weight limits of the bike, you can choose to carry a
passenger. Your passenger should be able to comfortably reach
the passenger pegs and be seated on the seat, not on the rear
rack area of the bike. The passenger pegs are weight bearing and
the passenger can mount the bike by standing on one pegs and
stepping over the seat to place a foot on the other side. It’s best to
have the rider seated with both feet on the ground first before the
passenger seats themselves.
CARRYING A PASSENGER
REAR RACK
The integrated rear rack of the Lyric Graffiti is designed
to hold no more than 90 pounds. Due to this, the rear
rack is not intended to be a seat or a seat extension. Us-
ing the bike in this manner can cause metal fatigue of the
frame and can cause the frame to fail.
The Rear rack extensions are rated for the same weight
and it is best to center the load over the rack or rack ex-
tension (if installed). The further back the rack or rack
extension is loaded the more stress it puts on the rack
and frame

18
MAINTENANCE
Your electric bike is a collection of parts that all need care and main-
tenance to keep in good operating order. On any bike, certain parts
need to be replaced periodically due to wear, and sometimes parts
become damaged for various reasons. This is to be expected over
the lifetime of your bike, and the more that you are aware of and can
check on each of the parts the better operating condition your bike
will be. Check your bike frequently before each ride by following the
directions in “Maintenance Checklists” on the following pages.
It is best to have your bike regularly serviced by a certified, reputable
bike mechanic. Regular bike mechanics will be able to help you main-
tain the brakes, headset, bottom bracket, cranks, pedals, grips, stem
and handlebars. See our “Recommended service intervals” on page
28 for more information for ongoing maintenance.
Components of any ebike are subject to higher wear compared to
the components of bikes without power assistance. This is espe-
cially true of the Lyric Grati because of the higher top speed which
causes more wear on brake pads and rotors. Higher wear is not a de-
fect in the product and is not subject to warranty. “Consumable Com-
ponents” not covered in warranty are the tires, brake pads and rotors,
suspension forks, spokes, wheels, and the battery.
For all repairs to your electric system it is recommended to see a bike
mechanic that understands how to service electric motors, control-
lers, and electric systems to help you diagnose your issue.
MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW
AFTERMARKET PARTS
Be extremely careful about using parts or accessories that
are not originally equipped with the Lyric Grati. Using af-
termarket accessories or components (Batteries, control-
lers, throttles, racks, forks, trailers, etc.) that have not been
tested by Lyric Cycles for safety and compatibility with
your specific bike may void your warranty, create an unsafe
riding condition, result in bike/property damage, or cause
serious injury or death. If you use replacement parts or ac-
cessories not tested and recommended by Lyric Cycles,
you do so at your own risk and at risk of warranty.
MAINTENANCE CHECKLISTS
BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE
• Make sure handlebar cables were routed correctly when the
handlebar was installed. Turn the handlebar fully to the left and
right and make sure the cables and wires don’t impede steering.
• Make sure your pedals are secure using a pedal wrench.
• Check that the cable connectors on the bike are all plugged in
securely and that nothing loosened in shipping.
• Check the brakes for rubbing noises when you spin the wheel.
Adjust if necessary. Note, the brakes pads may make noise a
little the first few times you ride. This is okay and normal; any
squeak or noise should go away with use.
• Check everything on the “Before every ride” list below.

MAINTENANCE CHECKLISTS
BEFORE EVERY RIDE
Before every ride or every 40–72 km (25–45 miles), follow the safe-
ty checklist in the table below. If you find anything wrong with your
bike, don’t ride it until you’re sure it’s fixed. Consult a local, certified,
and reputable bike mechanic to help you get the bike back in working
order
Brake System
• Check brake pads and ensure the brake pad material isn’t
thinner than the backing plate it attaches to.
• Ensure brake pads are correctly positioned in relation to the
brake rotors.
• Ensure brake housing shows no obvious wear.
• Ensure brake levers are properly positioned and tightly se-
cured to the handlebar.
• Ensure that the brake levers don’t need to be “pumped”
(several squezes of the lever) to get the brakes to actuate.
This means your hyraulic system may need to be re-bled by
a mechanic
Steering
• Ensure the handlebar and stem are correctly aligned, adjusted,
and tightened for proper steering.
• Hold the front wheel between your legs and twist the handlebar
to test that the steering is not loose.
• Ensure the handlebar is set correctly in relation to the fork and
the direction of travel.
• Ensure the handlebar grips are secure and undamaged.
Wheels & Tires
• Ensure tires are holding air and inflated to 12-20 PSI
• Ensure tires have good tread, have no bulges or excessive
wear, are seated on the rim and are free from damage.
• Ensure rims run true and have no obvious wobbles or warps
• Check each wheel spoke to make sure none are loose.
• Check the axle nuts on the front and rear wheel to ensure they
are correctly tightened.
Bearings
• Check that headset, wheel, pedal, and bottom-bracket bear-
ings are lubricated, run freely, and display no excess movement,
grinding, or rattling. Oil and or replace as needed.
Drivetrain: Cranks, Pedals, Belt
• Ensure the cranks are not bent and are securely tightened to
the bottom bracket.
• Ensure the belt is aligned and runs smoothly without noise. Ad-
just the rear wheel to ensure the rear cog is aligned perfectly
straight to keep the belt on track.
• Ensure there is no wear or on the belt that would prevent it from
operating.
Frame and Seat
• Check that the frame is not showing any signs of cracks or dam-
age.
• Check that the seat is secured properly with all 3 bolts
