Introduction

What you need

Step 1

              Outer Shell               

• Break the two warranty stickers by poking a screwdriver through them or peeling them off.
• Remove the following twenty screws by rotating the screwdriver counterclockwise:
• Eight 16.2mm Phillips #2 screws
• Eight 15mm Phillips #2 screws
• Four 19.1mm Phillips #2 screws
• The holes containing most of the screws are deep and narrow. A screwdriver with interchangable bits will not be able to reach them.
• Do not over-tighten the screws during reassembly. Over-tightened screws can crack the plastic channels holding the shell to the frame of the hoverboard.
