DISASSEMBLY
No tools are required to disassemble or assemble your scooter, but keep in mind that the disassembled sections of
the scooter take up more floor space than the assembled unit. Always disassemble or assemble your scooter on a
level, dry surface with sufficient room for you to work and move around your scooter-about 1.5 meters in all
directions. Remember that some scooter components are heavy and you may need assistance when lifting them.
WARNING! Do not lift weight beyond your physical capability. Ask for assistance when
necessary while disassembling or assembling your scooter.
