Taking care of your JD Bug

The JD Bug™ has been designed and built to require very little adjustment or special care. To ensure long life and safe use, please refer to the following information.

Wheels

Always ensure the wheels are inspected before use for excessive
wear. Wheels which are over-worn are dangerous and should be replaced immediately. We recommend that when replacing wheels that both wheels are replaced as this will increase the life of your new wheels.

Bearings

Always keep your bearings clean and free from dirt. This will
increase their life. Do not allow your bearings to dry out naturally if they become wet, they should be wiped dry and re-greased immediately. This will increase the life of your bearings and ensure a smooth ride.

Axle Bolts

Always check axle bolts are secure before each use. They
should always be free from dirt and obstructions between the axle and the wheels and bearings.

Other Parts

If any other part on your Bug becomes worn or damaged
it should be replaced immediately. Bug parts and spares can be purchased from all good stockists.

The parts used in the construction of your Bug have been specifically designed and engineered to give performance and durability. We recommend that you do not replace with non-original parts.
