STEP 3 On the back of the assembly tighten all hand screws (P) to secure in place. STEP 4 Now you can attach the handle assembly to the frame (L), locating frame tubes with the arms. Use the hand screws (P) at either side of the frame and lock into place.
Page 19
STEP 5 Place the side bars (F) into the frame tube either side of the barrow. Tighten hand screws (P) to lock in place. The side bars are interchangeable and will fit either side of the barrow. STEP 6 Take the front bar (E) and slide this into fork assembly (G).

STEP 1 Locate the 2 connector plugs that meet at the back of the frame connecting the controller handle. Align the arrows up on each connector plug. STEP 2 The pins in the connector plug are delicate and should not be forced or pushed, this could lead to the pins bending and breaking.
Page 23
STEP 3 When pressure is applied the bayonet connector will rotate down toward the unlock symbol to connect the pins and snap back into place, you should hear the snap on its return. This means its locked in and fully connected. STEP 4 Repeat the same process for the two...
Page 24
STEP 5 If you need to disconnect the plugs, turn the bayonet towards the unlocked padlock symbol and pull to separate, initially you may feel some resistance but they will free up after a couple seconds. STEP 6 Place the battery (N) in the battery holder on the front wheel.
Page 25
STEP 7 Once the battery is in place you can now connect the plugs locating from the front wheel to the battery, make sure the rotary dial on the hand controller is off before connecting, the plugs need to connect red to red and black to black as shown above.

HOW TO CHARGE YOUR BATTERY STEP 1 Plug in your battery charger, keep the plug socket off until you’ve attached the battery. Remove your battery pack from your barrow, making sure the power is off before disconnecting the battery and connect to the charger using the plugs, like before red to red and black to black.

OVERLOAD PROTECTOR Attached to your battery in the bag you have a switch current overload protector button, in the event of an overload this will protect the battery and trip out much like a fuse would. For example this can happen when you overload the circuitry on a big hill. If this does happen the Power Porter will lose power, simply press the reset button located on the battery, this will reinstate power and the led will light up.
Page 33
STEP 1 In the event of the battery failing it may be necessary to release the free wheel hub. First ensure the power is switched off, then release by pulling back and turning anticlockwise, the hub will disengage from the pins and free wheeling mode is possible.
