GETTING STARTED 

 

 

Folding Handle Set-Up Instructions 

 
To unfold the powerboard, begin by pressing down on the FOLDING HANDLE with one hand 
(Fig. 3), while gently pulling up on the handlebars with the other (Fig. 4). Fully extend the 
handlebars to their upright position until you feel the mechanism lock into place (Fig. 5).  

 

When you first take the powerboard out of the box, the BRAKE 
LEVER and ACCELERATOR LEVER will be in the down position for 
shipping. Using the provided Allen Wrench, loosen the tension bolt, 
and adjust the levers to a comfortable position (Fig. 6). Then tighten 
the bolt.  BE CAREFUL NOT TO DISCONNECT THE CABLES!  You 
are now ready to ride your powerboard!

 

 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
Fueling 
 
IMPORTANT:  This is a two-stroke engine. Only run the engine using a mixture of 
gasoline and 2-cycle engine oil.  

 

PLEASE READ OPERATING PROCEDURES BEFORE FUELING! 

1.  Mix fuel (minimum 90 octane) and 2-cycle engine oil in separate container.  

Use Tanaka Perfect Mix

 or a quality 50:1 two-cycle oil.  Make sure the fuel is well    

mixed by shaking the container.  

2.  Make sure that the engine is off. 
3.  Slowly open the GAS CAP, so that possible over-pressure disappears.  
4.  Clean the tank cap area to make sure that it is free from excess dirt and debris.  
     NOTE:  Make sure that no dirt falls into the gas tank. 
5.  Pour pre-mixed Gas/Oil mixture into the GAS TANK.  Do not overfill.  
6.  After fueling, replace the GAS CAP and tighten.
