SUPERBUG
Superbug Assembly - common to all models
Step 1 : Install the Wheels
The wheels are complete with freewheel axles and bearings
and these fit in the holes at the ends of the crossbar and are
held in place by a screw with a triangular knob. Slacken the
screws if necessary, push the axle fully into the hole and
tighten the screws to secure the wheels in place.
Step 2 : Unfold the Handle
The lower handle locks into position in the folded position to
make the Superbug easy to carry. To unlock it press the
two lock buttons on either side of the main pivot and lift the
lower handle. The upper handle locks in place by means
of sliding the locking cover fully over the joint.
Step 3 : Install the Battery
The battery pack is fitted in a tough nylon bag. The bag is
attached to the battery carrier by means of the velcro straps
on the bottom. To fit the battery bag to the carrier turn the
battery bag upside down with the power lead facing front
left and open the velcro straps. Position the battery carrier
on top of the battery with the hooks facing forward (Fig 7)
and securely close the velcro straps. The battery should now
be turned the right way up and may be carried by the
integral carry handle.
To install the battery onto the Superbug, simply locate the
battery carrier hooks over the plastic mounts on the frame. NOTE: when installed on
the trolley the powerlead from the battery should be facing towards the front right of
the battery carrier.
Step 4 : Connect the Battery
Before connecting the battery ensure that both power switches
are set to the off “O” position. The battery cable is plugged
into the socket located on the right hand side of the main
chassis tube.
