•
Taking hold of tiller-delta with one-hand, lift
tiller-delta push down simultaneously when
retracting the fold-lever with the other-hand
(Fig.23
).
This action will dis-engage the fold-lock
internal mechanism.
Then, whilst still holding the
fold-lever open, lift-up on the tiller delta and then
partially un-fold and rest on the support wheels
and release the fold-lever.
•
Check that the Smilie fold-lock mechanism has
engaged and the Scooter base is in the drive
position
(Fig.2 Pg 4
).
Note: If the lock mechanism
does not engage then the scooter may only be
partially un-folded (Fig.25). If so, repeat the steps
above until locked in drive position.
•
Raise the seat-back to upright, and then adjust
and secure armrests to the upright positions
(Fig.26).
Inspect the lower seat position indicator
(Fig.27) and check that the lower-seat is secured in
the forward position.
•
Locate fold-lever at the rear right-hand side of
the scooter (
Fig.22).
•
Walk to the front area and stand directly facing
the Smilie. Place your foot (with appropriate foot-
wear) on the front bumper/handle. Then with
adequate force and taking care, pull the tiller-delta
towards yourself until the fold-lock mechanism
engages, locking the Scooter in the ‘drive’
position
(Fig 24).
