Assembling your Scooter following Transportation

Warning!
Assembling the scooter involves lifting and handling heavy parts. Your scooter is not designed
for unassisted loading into and out of a car or similar vehicle. Specialist ramps and hoists are available for
transferring the scooter into and out of a vehicle. Your dealer should advise you on the best way to assemble
your scooter.
Warning!
Pinching or Crushing. Be careful to avoid being pinched or having your hands crushed when
lifting or handling parts. Wear gloves whenever possible.
Warning!
Never unload your scooter on sloping or uneven ground. It could run down the slope and
injure someone.

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. Push the tiller release lever downwards, as shown and raise the tiller to your preferred driving position.
(Fig.19). Release the tiller lever when the desired position is reached.
2. Grasp the seat on both sides and insert the seat post into the seat-post tube in the chassis (Fig.20).
3. Fold the seat-back into the vertical position (Fig.21).
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.
