Before Use Checklist
Ensure that you carry out all procedures below before starting the engine or operating the equipment. Failure to follow the checklist and carry out the procedures correctly may result in
making the product warranty void.
Assembly
Prior to assembly, unpack all components and check that all items have been received.
1. Remove the handle attachment nuts, screws and washers (1) from the frame (2).
2. Place the flattened sections of the handle (3) tubes over the machine frame tubes so the mounting holes are aligned. It may be necessary to pull the handle tubes apart slightly to fit it over the frame tubes. Ensure that the handle is oriented so the throttle control (A) faces forward.
3. Secure the handle to the frame using the previously removed fasteners (1). Place a washer between the screw head and handle tube. Insert the screws so the nuts will be on the inside of the frame. Firmly tighten the fasteners using the supplied spanner and Allen key.
4. Once the handle is secure, check that all cable/wires are properly routed, without kinks etc, and are secured to the handle with any supplied clips and cable ties.
5. Tilt the machine on its side, then remove the acorn nut (4) from the axle (B). Place a wheel (5), with the recessed part of the wheel hub facing outwards, onto the axle. Secure the wheel using the previously removed acorn nut. Tighten the nut using the supplied spanner, however, not to the point where the wheel binds and cannot easily rotate. Repeat for the other wheel.
6. Slide the drive tube (6) into the drive tube collar (C). Ensure that the locating screw (D) in the collar and the corresponding hole (E) in the drive tube are aligned before assembling.
7. Screw in the M5 locating screw using the supplied Allen key until firm – this screw does not have to be extremely tight. Then, firmly tighten the M6 clamp screw (F) using the supplied Allen key.
