oset 2012 12.5 24V General Maintenance, Electrical Troubleshooting & Diagnostics Manual

tension adjustment can be made via the barrel adjustment on the lever and at the calliper. Lever reach adjustment can be seen above by using a 2.5mm Allen key. Again always ensure that before you make any adjustment the wheel is sitting square in the fork dropouts and that the quick release system is firmly secured. Spin the wheel to check the disc is running true. Note if you have signs of uneven pad wear, i.e. you can see areas of the disc that is not making contact with the pad, then check the alignment of the calliper ensure you have 1 ...

Time (cont). 2.2. Chain Line, tension & Drive Losses. It is important to consider correct maintenance of your OSET. For example, incorrect tension of your OSET’s chain could result in energy losses. A chain that is run too loose (apart from coming off all the time) will cause ‘chain slap’ – whereby the chain flails and creates more resistance for the motor to overcome, which subsequently requires more power and eventually runs the batteries down. The reverse of this – having the chain too tight, can place an increased amo ...

motor shaft and sprocket. You should be able to turn the shaft freely with your hand. If you cannot , there may be some debris that has worked its way into the motor over time and is causing unnecessary resistance. Secondly, check for wear in the motor bearings by pushing the shaft in towards the motor casing. You should not be able to do this. If there is excessive play in these bearings it will cause the chain to rub against the m ...

operated disc/band or V-brake that are fitted to your OSET are correctly adjusted, as any unnecessary contact between pad material and rotor of brake shoe, will cause friction which ultimately the motor must overcome by drawing power from the batteries more quickly. 1. Cable Operated Brakes (16.0 & 12.5): Check the cable can move freely within the cable outer, look for any wear in the cable, debris or corrosion that could cause it to snag. Ensure that the cable is well lubri ...
