GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CRUZA XR500

PACKAGE CONTENTS

Your Cruza XR500 comes with the following items in the box. Please locate

all of the following:

1. The Cruza XR500 Scooter

2. 36V Battery Charger

3. Tool Kit

4. 20amp Fuse(s)

5. Product Handbook

6. Seat & Seat Post

GETTING STARTED

Please read and understand these instructions and the OPERATING

PROCEDURES section, prior to starting or riding your XR500

Assembly

1. Carefullyremove the XR500 from the box.

2. To unfold the XR500, begin by pressing

down on the FOLDING HANDLE with one

hand (Fig.1), while gently pulling up on the

handlebars with the other (Fig.2)

3. Fully extend the handlebars to their upright

position until you feel the mechanism lock

into place (Fig. 3).

4. Attach the handlebars by first attaching the

large handlebar clamp to the top of the

handlebar down tube. Then attach the

handlebars to the clamp. Tighten all bolts

after adjusting the handlebars to the

desired tilted position. (Fig. 4)

5. The BRAKE LEVER is in the down position

for shipping. Using the provided Allen

Wrench, loosen the tension bolt, and adjust

the levers to a comfortable position.

* Be careful not to pull on the cables!

Front Wheeel Assembly

Using a 17 or shifting spanner, remove the nut from one side of the axle. Remove the axle and

both spacers. The shorter of the two spacers fits next to the brake disc. For the easiest fit,

insert the axle partially into the fork with the brake caliper. Slide on the shorter of the two

spacers. Next, place the wheel up between the forks and slide the axle into the wheel. The

brake caliper can be moved around to get the disc between the two brake pads. Once the

wheel is in position, slide the axle through to the other side of the wheel. Hold the longer of the

two spacers in position between the hole of the wheel and the hole of the fork and slide

through until the the nut can be attached. ** This is made slightly easier by holding the wheel

skew to get the spacer between the two front forks.

Fuses

Revised model XR500 scooters will be fitted with a 30A Blade fuse that is located inside

the scooter. The fuse can be accessed by removing the deck from the scooter. Consult the

troubleshooting guide / contact the supplier before attempting to open the scooter or

replace the fuse.

The majority of pre-2013 XR500 scooters will be fitted with a 30A glass tube fuse that is

located in the fuse holder beside the charging socket. Unscrew the cap to gain access to

the fuse. Consult the troubleshooting guide / contact the supplier before attempting to

replace the fuse.

The scooter should be lifted off of the ground / placed on its side before replacing the fuse

or making repairs.

Seat and Seat Post Installation

1. Place the seat onto the seat post and tighten the nut on the underside of the seat.

Ensure that the front of the seat is aligned with the brass button at the bottom of the

seat post.

2. Insert the seat post into the bottom of the seat and tighten securely.

3. Next, insert the seat post into the post receiver that is already attached to the

footplate on the scooter and tighten the clamp securely.

Charging

Your scooter comes charged out of the carton. We still recommend charging the unit for

6-8 hours prior to its first use. Wealso recommend charging your scooter after

each

use

and prior to storage.

WARNING: Do not allow your scooter to batteries to run completely flat, as this will

damage

the

batteries.

Fig.

1. Make sure unit is turned off.

2. Open the charging socket cover

located on the right side of the

scooter frame, under the footplate.

(Fig. 5)

3. Locate your Battery Charger. (Fig.

6) Find the charger socket end

that has a three-prong socket and

plug it into the scooter.

4. Next, plug the AC plug into a wall

outlet.

When first plugged in, the charger has two

red lights that will illuminate at the same

time, indicating that the charging process

has started. Once the light on the charger

turns green, you may remove the charger

and close the safety cap.

Riding

1. Make sure that all of the exposed bolts and screws are

tightened.

2. Raise the kickstand to its upright position.

3. Push the on/off switch (located on the left handlebar) to the

position.

4. Put one foot on the deck of the XR500 while pushing off with the other foot; gently

rotate the THROTTLE GRIP, on the right side of the handlebars. The XR500 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

1. To brake, release the THROTTLE GRIP and depress the BRAKE LEVERS

(on

the

left/right side of the handlebars. Depressing the brake will disengage power to

the motor. When the unit feels like it is losing power or not accelerating to full

speed, the scooter is ready to be re-charged.

Folding & Storage

When you are done riding the XR500 you can fold it down for compact storage and

transportation. To fold down the XR500, use one hand to push down on the folding

handle

while gently pushing down on the handlebars. BE CAREFUL NOT TO HIT

YOUR HEAD WITH THE HANDLEBAR. Push down until you feel the mechanism lock

into the down position.

BRAKING SYSTEM

The XR500 uses a pinch braking system for the front, and a disc/caliper system

for the rear. They are both activated by a hand brake lever on the left and right

side of the handlebar. Squeezing the hand brake lever with your left hand

activates the rear brake.Squeezing the hand brake lever with your right hand

activates the front brake.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 XR500 should come fully adjusted from the factory.

However, it may be necessary to adjust the brakes from time to time.

Fig. 12

Fig. 13

To adjust the rear brakes:

1. With one hand, depress the brake

caliper using your thumb and

forefinger (Fig.12).

2. With the other hand, adjust the

tension screw on the brake line.

a. Turn the tension screw

clockwise to loosen the brake.

b. Turn the tension

screw

counterclockwise to tighten

brake.

To adjust the front brakes:

For brakes that are adjusted too tight:

1. Loosen the tension screw on the

right hand brake lever by rotating it

counter-clockwise until the wheel

spins freely.

For brakes that are adjusted too loose:

1. Tighten the tension screw on the

right hand brake lever by rotating it

clockwise until the wheel has a

slight drag.

For further adjustment:

1. Locate the adjustment screw on the

front brake assembly (located

above the front wheel, Fig. 13)

Tighten or loosen as necessary.

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

AND WHEELS

The Cruza XR500 uses a similar rim and tire assembly on the front and rear

wheels, which means that the tires can be rotated. The wheels are actually

two wheel halves (split rim) bolted together to make it easier to remove and

replace the tire and tube.

The rear wheel is fitted with a special spacer to accommodate the chain

sprocket, while the front wheel has a bracket for the disc brake.

Tire wear will differ based on rider weight, riding conditions and care.

Replacement tires can be obtained at your local Cruza dealer, through

motorcycle shops, or from the Cruza website at www.SAscootershop.co.za.

Tire Pressure

The tire must be inflated to a maximum of 32 P.S.I. It is also recommended to

use a tube additive like ‘slime’ available from any motorcycle shop, to avoid

inconvenient punctures.

Empty all air from the tire, prior to loosening the bolts to split the rim.

MAINTENANCE

RECOMMENDED TOOLS

To adjust and service the Cruza XR500 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 generic lubricant

ADJUSTING THE

HANDLEBAR BEARINGS

There are two headset bearings that hold the handlebars in place against the frame.

These bearings have a tendency to work loose due to the vibration caused by riding. You

will need an adjustable spanner for this easy fix.

The top bearing should be relatively firm - it shouldn't spin easily when turned by hand.

The bottom bearing and lock nut is the part you will be adjusting.

To adjust the handlebars:

1. Rotate the handle bar as far right as it will

go to expose the HEAD UNIT. (See fig

left)

2. Using a large adjustable wrench, gently

turn the ‘Adjustable Race’ clockwise to

tighten. Do not over-tighten, as this will

cause damage to the bearing.
