The Front Wheel and Suspension System: 

 

Your buggy has a unique front wheel system.   The front wheel can swivel 360 degrees. The front 
wheel assembly can be either locked or unlocked.  The main advantage of having the assembly 
unlocked allows your buggy to be highly manoeuvrable.  You only need to turn the buggy handle 
and your buggy will turn.  The suspension helps reduce the amount of shock the buggy will take 
when going over hills, bumps, ruts, etc… 
 
If you decide to lock the front wheel, ensure the front wheel is behind the buggy and protected by 
the bumper and carrying handle at the front of your buggy.  In a locked situation your buggy will 
go straight and will not wander as it can if left to motor by itself with the front wheel in an unlocked 
position. 
 
To lock or unlock the front wheel assembly move the lever to the left or right respectively as 
depicted in the photos below.
