can be adjusted individually to suit your needs. To make
adjustments to the armrest angle you will need two 13mm
spanners (not provided). Lift the arm upwards, you will

Seat Height Adjustment:
You may need to alter the seat
height setting at a later date, please follow these
instructions.
1. Remove your seat from the Scooter by lifting the seat
locking lever and lifting the seat clear of the vehicle (see
Fig 1). Note your seat for safety reasons can only be
removed when it is turned 90˚ to the right or left from
the straight ahead driving position. Please take care
when lifting heavy weights. Place your seat on a soft
clean work area.
2. With the aid of a 17mm spanner (not supplied) loosen
the 10mm seat clamp fixing bolt (see Fig 6).
3. Remove the 10mm fixing bolt and reposition the bolt
into one of the four preferred location holes of the seat
mounting tube (see Fig 6).
4. Re-tighten the 10mm fixing bolt. Refit the seat onto
your
Companion
Scooter.
Warning:
Do not have the seat set too high, you must
be able to place both feet firmly on the Scooter’s floor
area.
Stability will be reduced the higher your seat is
set on the mounting tube. Always take great care
when cornering, lean into the corner to achieve the
best stability from your Scooter.
HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT
The handlebar of your
Companion
is designed to allow you to
position it in a comfortable driving position. It can be locked
into numerous positions or unlocked to move freely for
transportation.
The handlebar lock is operated by a black lever positioned on
the right hand side of the handlebar (see Fig 7, page 8). To
release the handlebar from a locked position pull the black lever
upwards, the handlebar will now move freely, but under mild
tension.
To lock the handlebar into a comfortable driving position,
simply push the black lever downwards until the handlebar is
locked firmly into position.
With the combination of the height adjustment together with
the handlebar movement, you should find a suitably
comfortable driving position.
Warning:
Always make certain the handlebar locking lever is
fully down and the handlebar is securely clamped onto the
chrome support plates before driving your Scooter. To make
service adjustment of this part, refer to the Care and
Maintenance section of this manual.
