FOLDING AND STORAGE
When you are done riding the XG505 you can fold it down for compact storage
and transportation. To fold down the XG505, use one hand to push down on
the folding while gently pushing down on the handlebars. BE CAREFUL NOT
TO HIT YOUR HEAD WITH THE HANDLEBAR. Push down until you feel the
mechanism lock into down position.
*NOTE: If the lever is pulled aggressively, the locking spring may become
stretched and then the steering will not lock into position, it is also
advisable to ensure scooter locks firmly, prior riding.
You can now carry the XG505 by the handlebar tube.
IF THE MOTOR KEEPS STALLING AT IDLE
SPEED, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO
ADJUST THE IDLE SPEED ON THE
CARBURETOR.
Please refer to Carburetor Adjustment in the
Maintenance section on page 12 for
instructions on how to adjust idle speed.
