Riding
1. Make sure that all of the exposed bolts and screws are tightened.
2. Raise the kickstand to its upright position.
3. Turn the Ignition key to the on position.
4. Gently rotate the THROTTLE GRIP, on the right side of the handlebars.
The X-560 will begin to move on its own power. Your scooter has a
variable speed hand throttle. You can control the speed of your scooter by
the amount of pressure you use when rotating the hand throttle. The more
you rotate, the faster you will go.
Stopping/Braking
To brake, release the THROTTLE GRIP and depress the BRAKE LEVER on
the left side of the handlebar. Depressing the brake will disengage power to
the motor. When the unit feels like it is loosing power or not accelerating to
full speed, the scooter is ready to be re-charged.
BRAKING SYSTEM
The X-560 uses a hub brake system on the front and rear wheel of the scooter
activated by a hand brake lever on the left & right side of the handlebar.
Make sure to release the HAND THROTTLE GRIP when engaging the brakes.
Practice braking on a smooth, dry surface to get used to the feel of the braking
system. Braking distance is affected by wet conditions and loose and uneven
riding surfaces.

Adjusting the Brakes
The Brakes on the X-560 should come fully adjusted from the factory.
However, it may be necessary to adjust the brakes from time to time.
To adjust brakes:
For brakes that are adjusted too tight:
1. Loosen the tension screw on the
left or right hand brake lever by
rotating it counter-clockwise until
the wheel spins freely. (Fig. 6)
For brakes that are adjusted too loose:
1. Tighten the tension screw on the
left or right hand brake lever by
rotating it clockwise until the wheel
has a slight drag. (Fig. 6)
For further adjustment, Locate the
adjustment screw on the front or rea
r
brake hub.
For brakes that are adjusted too tight:
1. Loosen the tension screw on the
brake hub by rotating it clockwise
until the wheel spins freely. (Fig. 7)
For brakes that are adjusted too loose:
1. Tighten the tension screw on the
brake hub by rotating i
t
counter-clockwise until the wheel
has a slight drag. (Fig. 7)
Fig. 6
Fig. 7
Squeaky Brakes
The brakes may squeak before they are broken in. This is normal and will not
affect the function or performance of the brakes. With continued use the
squeak should go away.
TIRES
The X-Treme X-560 uses 13” tires on the front and rear wheels. Tire wear will
differ based on rider weight, riding conditions and care. Replacement tires can
be obtained at your local X-Treme dealer, through motorcycle shops, or from
the X-Treme website at www.x-tremescooters.com
Tire Pressure
The tires must be inflated to a maximum of 36-40 P.S.I. It is also recommended
to use a tube additive like Slime, available from any motorcycle shop, to avoid
inconvenient punctures.

MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDED TOOLS
To adjust and service the X-Treme X-560 you will need the following tools:
 Allen Wrenches: 3/4/5/6 mm
 Wrenches: 10/13/13 mm Open end wrench
 Large Adjustable Crescent Wrench
 Philips Head Screwdrivers
 Oil, Grease or Lubricant
ADJUSTING THE CHAIN
The chain will come adjusted from the factory. However, it may be necessary
to adjust the chain from time to time. The chain must be well aligned onto the
sprockets in order to avoid uneven wear. This will result in shortened chain
life.
How tight should the chain be?
 If the chain is skipping or jumping on the sprockets, this is too
loose and may be harmful.
 If the chain is making a humming sound when the wheel is
turning, this is too tight and may cause the chain to snap.
 The correct tension is achieved by adjusting the chain from its
loose position to when it becomes lightly tense.
To tighten the chains:
Slightly loosen the two axle bolts on both
sides of the rear wheel. (Fig.8). Then slowly
adjust the two adjusting screws on each side
of the rear tire (Fig.9) until chain reaches the
proper tension.
Rotate the rear wheel to make sure the chain
is aligned.
Finally, lock and tighten the rear axle bolts
prior to riding.
