To fix the front wheel traction issue on a Drive Medical Zoome 3, follow these steps:
1. Check Assembly – Ensure the front wheel assembly is properly secured to the scooter platform. Tighten the nut and bolt assembly using the open-ended wrenches from the tool kit.
2. Inspect Headset Size – If the front wheel is unstable, verify that the correct size headset is used, as an incorrect size can cause structural issues.
3. Handlebar Assembly – Confirm that the handlebar assembly is securely inserted and clamped in place to prevent unnecessary movement.
4. Brake Inspection – If traction issues are related to braking, check the hand brake and electromagnetic brake for proper function.
5. Tire Condition – Ensure the front wheel tire is properly inflated and in good condition for optimal traction.
If the issue persists, consider contacting Drive Medical support for further assistance.
