SwagTron T1 Wheel Replacement

Step 1 Back Panels

• Ensure that the SwagTron is off.
• Turn the SwagTron upside down to see the underside.
Step 2




• Unscrew the eighteen 10mm screws that secure the back panels using a Phillips #2 screwdriver.
• The screws are tightly in place. It will take effort to screw them out.
• The panel is still attached to the SwagTron by wires that go to the motherboard.
• Carefully lift the panels off
Step 3
• Follow the wires from the panels to the motherboard.
• You may need to cut any zip ties that are holding the wires together.
• There is one connection on the battery side and three on the other side that must be removed.
• These connections may be difficult to remove. Try to securely press the connection and pull firmly.
• Your back panels are now completely removed.
Step 4 Wheel
• Using your Phillips #2 screwdriver, remove the four 1cm screws that attach the gyroscope and its black case to the hoverboard.
• Carefully remove this component and set it off to the side.
Step 5
• Using your H 6.0 allen wrench, remove the four 20mm black bolts shown in the picture.
• Take off the iron plate holding the wheel in place.
• Remove the Motor/Wheel and set it aside close by to the hoverboard.
• The wires from the Motor/Wheel should still be connected to the motherboard.
• These bolts are very tight, it may be difficult to remove them. Try using a tool with a long handle.
Step 6
• Slide the protective plastic off the connectors on the marked wires (green, blue, and yellow) using your hands or a set of tweezers.
• The connectors on the wires of your hoverboard may be different from those shown in the pictures on the left due to differences in manufacturing.
• Separate the set of marked green, blue, and yellow wires from their connectors.
Step 7
• Finally separate the last connector shown on the left.
• Your wheel is completely removed; slide in a new Motor/Wheel into the slot and follow the previous steps in reverse order.
• Make sure the replacement wheel is snug. Neither rubbing on the outer rim nor on the side of the hoverboard.
