Safety Information
Riding a stunt scooter can be dangerous. Always prioritize safety.
- Wear Protective Gear: Always wear a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards.
- Check Before Each Ride: Ensure all bolts are tight, wheels spin freely, and the brake functions correctly.
- Ride in Safe Environments: Use the scooter in designated areas, away from traffic, pedestrians, and hazardous obstacles.
- Supervision: Younger riders should always be supervised by an adult.
- Weight Limit: Do not exceed the maximum weight limit of 220 pounds (approximately 100 kg).

Setup Instructions
The NKD Team Stunt Scooter requires minimal assembly. Follow these steps to prepare your scooter for use.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Verify that all components are present: deck, fork, handlebars, wheels, and necessary hardware.
- Install Front Wheel: Attach the front wheel to the fork using the provided axle and spacers. Ensure bearings are properly seated.
- Attach Fork to Deck: Insert the fork's steerer tube into the head tube of the deck. Ensure the headset bearings are correctly positioned.
- Secure Compression System: Install the compression system (e.g., HIC or SCS) according to the specific design of your scooter. This typically involves a shim, top cap, and compression bolt.
- Install Handlebars: Slide the handlebars onto the steerer tube. Align the handlebars with the front wheel.
- Tighten Clamp: Secure the handlebars in place by tightening the clamp bolts evenly and firmly.
- Install Rear Wheel and Brake: Attach the rear wheel to the deck, ensuring the brake mechanism is correctly aligned and functional.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safety of your NKD Team Stunt Scooter.
- Clean Regularly: Wipe down the scooter with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals.

- Wheel and Bearing Inspection: Check wheels for wear and tear. Ensure bearings spin smoothly. Replace worn wheels or noisy bearings as needed.
- Brake Functionality: Test the brake regularly to ensure it engages effectively. Adjust or replace if it feels loose or ineffective.
- Grip Tape: Clean grip tape with a stiff brush to maintain traction. Replace if it becomes too worn.
