ASSEMBLY AND SET-UP

Attaching the Handlebars 
Tool Required: 6 mm Allen Wrench

1. Using the 6 mm Allen wrench, remove bolts from handlebar clamp.
2. Place handlebars in handlebar clamp in upright, vertical position.

3. Insert bolts and tighten securely. When properly tightened, the handlebars should not move forward or back. 

   

   Note: The gap between the upper clamp and lower clamp should be equal on both sides of handlebar. 

WARNING: Failing to properly adjust and tighten the bolts that affix the handlebars can cause you to lose control and crash.

 Inflating the Tires 
Tires are inflated when shipped, but they invariably lose some pressure between the point of manufacturing and your purchase. Inflate the tires to the correct PSI before first time use.Lower air pressure can result in a shorter ride time.  Periodically check all four tires. Reinflate when needed.

Using a bicycle tire pump equipped for a Schrader valve, inflate the tires to the PSI indicated on the sidewall of the tire.

 Testing the Brake 
To use the brake, squeeze the lever to increase the pressure on the brake. The brake lever is fitted with a cable adjuster to compensate for cable stretch and/or to fine-tune the lever movement to brake engagement. If brake is not engaging properly, follow instructions for adjusting the brakes outlined on page 7.
WARNING: Do not use the Dirt Quad 500 for the first time until you have inflated the tires to the correct PSI. Failure to do so may damage your product and void your warranty.
WARNING: Do not over-inflate, as this could damage the tire or wheel. 
Note: The pressurized air supplies found at gasoline stations are designed to inflate high-volume automobile tires. If you decide to use such an air supply to inflate your tires, first make sure the pressure gauge is working, then use very short bursts to inflate to the correct PSI. If you inadvertently over-inflate the tire, release the excess pressure immediately.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

Your Dirt Quad 500 may not have a fully charged battery; therefore you must charge the battery prior to use. 

• Initial charge time: 12 hours.
• Recharge time: up to 12 hours, even if the light turns green. The recommended maximum charging time is 24 hours.
• Always charge the battery immediately after riding.
• Fully charge battery before storing for extended periods of time.
• Unplug charger from the wall outlet when not in use.
• Failure to recharge battery periodically may result in a battery that will not accept a charge.
• Make sure the Dirt Quad 500 power switch is turned OFF when unit is not in use. If the power switch is left on for an extended period of time, the battery may reach a stage at which it will no longer hold a charge.
• To ensure long battery life, never store the product in freezing or below-freezing temperatures! Freezing will permanently damage the battery.
• Run time: Up to 60 minutes of continuous ride time. Run time may vary depending on riding conditions, rider weight, climate, and/or proper maintenance.
• Constant stopping and starting may shorten ride time.
• Battery life can vary depending on proper maintenance and usage of the unit.

Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position. 

1. Plug the charger plug into wall outlet. The light on the charger should be green. 
   Note: If green light (LED) does not turn on, try a different outlet.
2. Slide, do not pull, charger port cover to one side and plug charger into charger port. The light on the charger should turn red during charging. The light will turn green again when charging is complete. Note: Slide cover back over the charger port when charging is complete.

PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST

• Brake
  Check the brake for proper function. When you squeeze the lever, the brake should provide positive braking action. When you apply the brake with the speed control on, the brake cut-off switch will stop the motor.
• Tires
  Periodically inspect the tires for excess wear and replace as needed. Regularly check the tire pressure and inflate as needed. If you get a flat tire, the inner tube can be patched or a new tube can be purchased from Razor or an authorized repair center.
• Frame and Handlebars
  Check for cracks or broken connections. Although broken frames are rare, it is possible for an aggressive rider to run into a curb or object and wreck, bend or break the frame. Get in the habit of inspecting your product on a regular basis.
• Hardware/Loose Parts
  Check and secure all fasteners before every ride. There should not be any unusual rattles or sounds from loose parts or broken components. If the unit is damaged, do not ride. 
• Reference 
  “Safety Warnings” on pages 1 and 2 of this manual.
• Safety Gear 
  Always wear proper protective gear, such as an approved safety helmet. Elbow pads, kneepads, pants and long sleeves are recommended. Always wear closed toe shoes (lace-up with rubber soles) and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels, motor and drive system. NEVER RIDE BAREFOOTED OR  
  IN SANDALS.
• Laws and Regulations
  Always check and obey any local laws or regulations.
• Insurance
  Do not assume that your existing insurance policies necessarily provide coverage for electric product use. Check with your insurance company for information regarding insurance.

Adjusting the Brake 
Tool Required: 5 mm Allen wrench

1. To adjust the tension, thread the brake lever adjuster in or out 1/4 to 1/2 turn until the desired brake adjustment is attained. Most adjustments are complete at this step. If brake still needs further adjustment, proceed to step 2 for disc brake.
2. Locate the brake caliper and disc brake behind the right rear wheel. The distance of the brake cable between the end of the cable and the anchor bolt should be between 37 and 44 mm. If the disc brake has too much play, loosen the rear anchor bolt with a 5 mm Allen wrench and pull the brake cable tighter (direction indicated with arrow). 

3. If the brake pads are rubbing against the disc brake, use your fingers to twist the caliper adjuster in either direction until disc is centered evenly between the pads.

   

4. Open the fuse box and remove fuse. Replace with a new one of equal amperage. Note: Amperage rating is located on top of fuse. 

5. Close the fuse cover.

   

WARNING: To prevent shock, please follow the instructions accordingly and do not skip or combine any steps.

Chain and Sprocket 
The chain will typically have a “loose spot” and “tight spot” corresponding with a particular sprocket rotational position. This is normal and common to all chain-driven products due to run-out tolerances of the freewheel and sprocket. Proper chain alignment must be maintained. If the chain is noisy or rough running, check the lubrication, tension and alignment of the sprockets, in that order. The chain tensioner must be aligned and free from binding and the tensioner spring(s) must be operating correctly. 

Charger 
The charger supplied with the Dirt Quad 500 should be regularly examined for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure and other parts, and in the event of such damage, the product must not be charged until it has been repaired or replaced.
Use ONLY with the recommended charger.
Wheels
Wheels and drive system are subject to normal wear and tear. It is the responsibility of the user to periodically inspect wheels for excess wear and adjust and replace drive train components as required.

SAFETY WARNINGS Of Razor Dirt Quad 500

WARNING

• This is the “older rider” version of the popular Dirt Quad. It is bigger and faster than the original and it is not intended for riders under 14. Younger riders should not use the Dirt Quad 500, they should ride the original Dirt Quad for ages 8 and up.
• Riding a four-wheeled electric product like the Dirt Quad 500 does present potential risks and caution is required. Like any riding product, the Dirt Quad 500 has inherent hazards associated with its use (for example, falling off or riding it into a hazardous situation). Like any riding product, the Dirt Quad 500 can and is intended to move, and it is therefore possible to lose control or otherwise get into dangerous situations. Both children and adults responsible for supervising them must recognize that if such things occur, a rider can be seriously injured or die, even when using safety equipment and other precautions. RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND USE COMMON SENSE.
• NOT FOR CHILDREN UNDER AGE 14 OR HEAVIER THAN 220 LB (100 KG). Because products, like the Dirt Quad 500, can and do present potential hazards plainly associated with their use, it is well recognized THE NEED to exercise OF PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY IN SELECTING RIDING PRODUCTS APPROPRIATE TO THE AGE OF A CHILD, or SUPERVISION IN SITUATIONS IN WHICH CHILDREN OF VARIOUS AGES MAY HAVE ACCESS TO THE SAME RIDING PRODUCTS, IS IMPORTANT. Not every product is appropriate for every age or size of child, and different age recommendations are found within this category of product which are intended to reflect the nature of the hazards and the expected mental or physical ability, or both, of a rider to cope with the hazards.
• Razor recommends that children under the age of 14 not be permitted to use this product. This recommendation is based not just on age or weight or height – it reflects consideration of expected maturity and skills as well as physical size. The recommended rider age of 14 years or older is only an estimate and can be affected by the rider’s size, weight, or skills – not every rider 14 years old will be suited to the product. Certainly, any rider unable to fit comfortably on the Dirt Quad 500 should not attempt to ride it, but a parent’s decision to allow his or her child to ride this product should be based on the child’s maturity, skill, and ability to follow rules. Razor emphasizes that adults are strongly advised not to disregard Razor’s recommendations or permit younger children to ride the  Dirt Quad 500.
• Persons with any mental or physical conditions that may make them susceptible to injury, impair their physical dexterity or mental capabilities to recognize, understand, and follow safety instructions and to be able to understand the hazards, should not use or be permitted to use products inappropriate for their abilities. Persons with heart conditions, head, back or neck ailments (or prior surgeries to these areas of the body), or pregnant women, should be cautioned not to operate such products.
• NOTICE: This manual contains many warnings and cautions concerning the consequences of failing to maintain, inspect or properly use your electric ride-on product. Because any incident can result in serious injury or even death, we do not repeat the warning of possible serious injury or death each time such a possibility is mentioned.
