BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Remove contents from box. Remove the foam separators that protect the components from damage during
shipping. Inspect the contents of the box for scratches in the paint, dents or kinked cables that may have
occurred during shipping. Because the Ground Force Drifter was 95 percent assembled and packed at the
factory, there should not be any problems, even if the box has a few scars or dents.
WARNING:
DO NOT USE NON-RAZOR
PARTS WITH YOUR
GROUND FORCE DRIFTER.
The Ground Force Drifter has
been built to certain Razor design
specifications. The original
equipment supplied at the time of
sale was selected on the basis of
its compatibility with the frame and
all other parts. Certain aftermarket
components may not be compatible.
Use of non-Razor parts will void the
warranty.
Estimated Assembly and Set-Up Time
Razor recommends assembly by an adult.

ASSEMBLY AND SET-UP
Turn power switch off before conducting any maintenance procedures.
q Adjusting the Brake
The brake lever is fitted with a cable adjuster to compensate for cable stretch and/or to fine tune the lever movement
to brake engagement.
WARNING: Practice in
an open area free from obstacles
until you are familiar with the brake
function. DO NOT RUN OVER ANY
OBJECT AS IT COULD DAMAGE
THE BRAKE OR DRIVETRAIN.
1To adjust the brake, thread the
adjuster in or out 1/4 to 1/2 turns
until the desired brake adjustment
is attained.
2If the adjuster is threaded outward
and the brake still has too much slack,
use the auxiliary adjuster at the rear
brake for additional adjustments.
Note: When properly adjusted, the brake
lever will have approximately 3mm of
free play before the brake engages.
q Self Adjusting Chain Tensioner
Note: Proper alignment of the chain must be maintained. If the chain is adjusted properly, but is noisy or rough run-
ning, check alignment of the sprockets. The drive-shaft sprocket can be adjusted slightly from side-to-side by loosen-
ing the set screw. Note that a key maintains the drive position to the shaft.

SAFETY REMINDERS
PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST
Loose Parts
Frame, Fork and Steering Wheel
Check for cracks or broken connections. Although broken frames
are rare, it is possible for an aggressive rider to run into a curb
or wall and wreck and bend or break a frame. Get in the habit of
inspecting yours regularly.
Check and secure all fasteners before every ride. There should
not be any unusual rattles or sounds from loose parts or broken
components. If you are not sure, ask an experienced mechanic to
check.

Brake
Safety Gear
Check the brake for proper function. When you squeeze the lever,
the brake should provide positive braking action. When you apply
the brake with the speed control on, the brake cut-off switch will
stop the motor.
Always wear proper protective equipment such as an approved
safety helmet. Elbow pads and kneepads are recommended.
Always wear shoes (lace-up shoes with rubber soles), never drive
barefooted or in sandals, and keep shoelaces tied and out of the
way of the wheels, motor and drive system.
Wheels
Practice drift driving only in wide open areas clear from curbs,
parking blocks and other obstacles. Impacting the wheels against
any hard surface can damage the wheels. Wheels are not covered
under your limited warranty.
q
