DISASSEMBLING / ASSEMBLING (Cont.)

HANDLING AND LOADING

The seat should be carried by grabbing the frame below the seat back and the front of the seat upholstery.

Use both hands to grab the floor pan to carry the front section. Use the tiller release lever to fold the tiller into the lowest position.

To carry the rear section grab the rear bumper with one hand and the other side of the rear frame with the other hand.

The batteries should be carried in the carrying straps.

When placing the disassembled scooter in a vehicle, make sure that the brake lever on the rear section is in the brake “Engaged” position. Once the front section is loaded, the batteries can be replaced in the battery recesses and buckled down. If there is not enough room in the trunk for the seat, it can be placed on the back seat of the vehicle. Place it upside down on the arm rests.

If your scooter can fit assembled into a vehicle, DO NOT use the scooter as a passenger seat in a transporting vehicle. It is not designed to restrain you during an impact of an automobile accident.

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE

To re-assemble the scooter, reverse the steps outlined above:

Ensure the rear section is resting on its anti-tip wheels.

Slide the front section channel completely into the rear section tube. Retighten by turning the hand wheel clockwise.

Ensure hand wheel is fully tightened.

Ensure the batteries are properly secured with the hold down straps.
