TILLER ANGLE ADJUSTMENT

Your tiller is equipped with a spring-loaded tiller adjustment lever, which allows you to lock the tiller in

place as well as rotate and change its position.  See figure 13.

To adjust the tiller angle:

1. Turn the tiller adjustment lever anticlockwise until it is loose. If the tiller adjustment lever comes in

contact with the tiller basket, pull it outward, turn it clockwise, and release it. Continue to loosen until

you are able to move the tiller.

2. Squeeze the release buttons (located beneath the tiller boot), then adjust the tiller to a comfortable

position.

3. Turn the tiller adjustment lever clockwise until it is tight. If the tiller adjustment lever comes in contact

with the tiller basket, pull it outward, turn it anticlockwise, and release it. Continue to turn the lever

until it is tight.

NOTE: The tiller may be adjusted to its lowest position and locked in place for storage.

To adjust the tiller for storage:

1. Turn the tiller adjustment lever anticlockwise until it is loose.

2. Pull the tiller boot upward to expose the tiller release buttons.

3. Grasp the handle grip on the tiller and carefully depress both tiller release buttons, then slowly lower

the tiller to the scooter’s  floorboard.

4. When the tiller reaches its lowest point, turn the tiller adjustment lever clockwise until it is tight to lock

the tiller in place.

WARNING! Remove the key from the key switch before adjusting the tiller or the seat.  Never

attempt to adjust the tiller or the seat while the scooter is in motion.
