into your car
(Fig 15, page 16]
Caution:
Protect clothing when lifting Scooter parts, some
components may have lubricating fluids on their surfaces
Work out the best position to stow each part of your machine,
this will vary with different car designs
An old blanket can be
used to stop the various parts rubbing against each other
It is good practice to stand the batteries upright and locate them
so they do not fall over and touch the battery posts on any
metal framework
Your
Scooter
will increase the load in your car,
please remember this and adjust your driving to suit this
condition
Note:
In some small cars the seat may need to be stowed on the
rear seat of the vehicle
Use the cars safety belt to secure the
seat in position
Caution:
The body mouldings on your
Scooter
have not
been designed for lifting your machine
Use the firm metal lifting
handles only

HOW TO RE-ASSEMBLE YOUR RICHMOND
Your
Scooter
is very easy to re-assemble once you reach
your destination
To re-assemble, follow the preceding
procedure in reverse order, noting the following:
1
When re-assembling the front and rear sections of your
Richmond, make certain you are on firm, level ground
Place the front and rear units close together with the round
tube of the front steering section facing with the ‘U’
shaped channel of the rear motive unit
(see Fig 26 on
page 18]
With one hand support the rear motive unit at the ‘C’
shaped handle keeping it level
With your other hand lift
the rear of the front steering section by the seat post and
lover it into the ‘U’ shaped channel, simultaneously locate
the locking pin brackets together
Fit the safety locking pin
(Fig 24, page 18] through the
location holes, make certain that the spring loaded safety
‘clip’ is firmly located into the safety “locking pin”
(see Fig 25, page 18]
Warning:
Failure to engage these safety pins correctly
could result in an accident, please take particular care
2
Connect the electrical plugs correctly together
DO NOT
FORCE TOGETHER
you may have them the wrong way
round, observe the locating groove in each connector
(see Figs 20 and 23]
3
When you have replaced the batteries make certain that
they are correctly strapped down (see Figs 17 - 18, page
17]
The battery straps simply locks together via the
Velcro® adhesion technique
4
When you have re-assembled your
Scooter
and fitted the
rear cover and seat, switch the power key to the ‘on’
position
The battery level gauge will move and the green
status light will illuminate
This will indicate that you have
re-connected the battery connectors correctly
If the
battery level indicator and status gauge does not function,
then you have not connected the wiring connectors correctly
(Fig 20, page 17](Fig 23, page 18]
Test the drive function of your machine
Does your
Scooter
move forwards and backwards correctly? If your
Scooter does not drive, the freewheel lever may be in the
‘disengaged’ position, see section ‘Freewheeling your
Richmond’ in this manual
Important notice:
Your
Scooter
has been designed for
pavement use only,
IT IS NOT A DIRECT
REPLACEMENT FOR A SEAT IN A MOVING
VEHICLE
Now enjoy your Freerider
