- The variable steering control screw can be adjusted to increase or decrease the front steering tension
according to the weight of the user. Use a socket wrench to do this properly.
Clean your longboard with a soft, moist cloth after each use. You should also clean the bearings regularly
using a soft, moist cloth and grease them periodically. Exchange if necessary. Wheels have to be replaced
when worn down. Remove any burs and ridges that can occur through usage to prevent injuries.
IMPORTANT
Choose to longboard a place, which allow you to improve your skills, not on pavements or street, where
serious accidents have happened to longboarders and other people.
Children under eight years of age should be supervised at all times when longboarding.
Learn everything slowly including new tricks. When losing balance don't walk until you fall, step off end
start again. Ride slopes where your speed is only as fast as you can run off the board without falling.
Most serious longboard injuries are broken bones so learn to fall (by rolling if possible) without the
longboard first. Longboarders who starting to learn should try with a friend or parent. Most bad accidents
happen in the first month.
Before you jump off a longboard watch where it may go to because it could injure someone else.
Avoid longboarding on wet or uneven surfaces. Join a club in your area and learn more. It is unsafe if
changing the product because self-locking units and other self-locking fixings might lose their effectiveness.
ADJUSTING THE TRUCKS
Turn the longboard upside-down on a flat surface.
Using an adjustable wrench:
- Turn each nut clockwise for a stiff setting, this will provide greater stability.
- Turn each nut counter-clockwise for a loose setting, this will provide greater steering control.
Important – Check to be sure you have not loosened the trucks too much! You should not need to loosen
the nut more than a few turns for a loose setting.
REMOVING WHEELS
The easiest way to do this is with a skate tool, or a 1/2" socket wrench. If your wheels use spacers, make
sure to keep them for when you put wheels back onto your longboard.
Next, place the wheel back on the longboard truck's axle, but just barely. You want to hook the tip of the axle
inside the bearings, only letting it touch the bearing and not the wheel.
Now, slowly and gently, pry the wheel at a downward angle. The bearing should pop out of the wheel, but it
might not want to right away. If you pry too hard, you might damage the bearing.
HOW TO MAINTAIN BEARINGS
The first signs to maintain a bearing are noises or heavy spin of bearings. To save some money you should
maintain your bearings regularly.
Please follow the advice below:
- Disassemble the wheels from the truck
- Open the shields (if possible) with a needle
- Place the open bearings in a small container (e.g. Turbo Wash from POWERSLIDE) that is filled with citrus
cleaner or other cleaning liquids.
- Clean bearings carefully with a toothbrush
- Dry the cleaned bearings on a towel
- Grease the dry bearings with synthetic oil or other stuff
- Close the bearings again and assemble the bearings into the wheels.
