After removing your scooter from a vehicle and placing it on level ground, check it is undamaged before
starting to assemble it as follows:
1. Loosen the tiller thumb-wheel, and raise the tiller to the correct position for use. Tighten the
thumb-wheel to lock the tiller in position (Fig 17).
2. Grasp the seat on both sides and insert the seat post into the seat-post tube in the chassis (Fig 18).
3. Fold the seat-back into the vertical position (Fig 19).
Finally check the scooter is not damaged and it is properly assembled, checking that the battery indicator shows
the battery is charged, the freewheel lever is in the drive position, the seat is locked in place and the finger
controls operate correctly. You are now ready to drive the scooter away.
