6F. Charging prior to use. The Electric Scream Machine will probably
not have a fully charged battery pack at the time of purchase. Therefore
it is a good idea to charge the battery prior to use. The charging input is
located at the back of the motor cover next to the switch. The charger
has two small LEDs that illuminate to indicate the charge status. Red
indicates the charger is working and green indicates the battery is fully
charged. The initial charge could take from a few minutes to up to 6
hours, depending on the battery state.

6G. Main switch with auto reset. The Electric Scream Machine has a
circuit breaker that will automatically shut off the power to the motor in
the event an overload condition is placed on the motor. An excessive
overload, such as too heavy a rider or too steep a hill, could cause the
motor to overheat. If your Electric Scream Machine abruptly stops
running and it is fully charged, wait a few seconds and then toggle the
switch to reset the breaker. Avoid whatever conditions caused the
breaker to trip and avoid repeatedly tripping the breaker.
NOTE: For safety reasons, the Electric Scream Machine must be
moving at least 3mph before the motor will start. Pedal or push to
3mph, then pull the trigger to start the motor!
7. Maintenance
7A. Tire inflation. The front tire on the Electric Scream Machine
requires 35~45 psi inflation pressure. Periodically and regularly check
the tire pressure and reinflate as necessary. If you get a flat tire the
inner tube is available at any retailer that sells bicycle parts and
accessories. The correct size is embossed on the side of the tire (16 x
1.75).
7B. Brake cable adjustment. The main adjustment on the brake is to
take up the cable slack and bring the lever into adjustment. This is
typically accomplished with the adjusting barrel at the brake lever as
shown in Figure 8a
