Adjustments

Tiller Angle Adjustment (Fig. 1)

On the left hand side at the base of the tiller
is a red adjustment lever. Push the lever in to
release the pin and select the required tiller
angle. Release the lever to re-locate the pin
into one of the five angle positions.

Seat Slide Adjustment (Fig. 2)

Pulling up on the lever allows the seat
position to be adjusted forward or
backward. Releasing the lever will lock
the seat in position.

Seat Swivel Adjustment (Fig. 2)

Under the right of the seat is a red
lever. Pulling up on the lever allows
the seat to swivel to either side,
allowing for easy manoeuvring on or
off the scooter. Do not drive the

scooter if the seat is not locked in
the forward position.

Armrest Width Adjustment (Fig. 2)

On the underside of the seat there are two hand knobs. Releasing the hand
knob allows the arms to be adjusted to the required width, or removed for
transportation.

Ensure the knobs are fully tightened before driving the scooter. Do not
drive the scooter without the arms fitted.
