RECOMMENDED AREAS FOR ADJUSTMENT
STEERING COLUMN ADJUSTMENT

The steering column locking system works on a ‘cam’ principle
to lock the column in the desired driving position (see Fig 7]
page 8

If you notice the column is not firmly held when the black cam
operating lever is fully down, follow this procedure to re-adjust
the ‘cam’ tension:

1

Push steering column forward as far as it will go with the

locking lever released, ie

pushed upwards

Support steering

column

2

With a 10mm spanner (not supplied] loosen the locking nut

positioned on the opposite side to the black locking lever

(Fig 34, page 28]

3

Next to the locking nut is a chrome threaded ‘clamping nut’

this has a slightly tapered shape

Turn this clamping nut

clockwise approximately a quarter of a turn

4

Push the ‘black’ clamping lever down and test that the tiller

is tightly held in place; adjust ‘clamp nut’ until correct
tension is achieved on clamp plates

5

Tighten locknut with 10mm spanner

If your Freerider Scooter will not start:

1

Check the power key switch is turned ‘on’

If it is, the

battery condition indicator meter will be operating

If the

green status light on your console is flashing once per
second, charge your batteries

FIG 36

FIG 35

If the battery condition meter and the green status light

fail to operate when the key switch is in the ‘on’ position,

check the following:

1

Make sure the battery charger is not plugged into the

tiller charge socket, this will prevent drive

2

Check both battery connectors (black connectors]

Check

battery terminal condition (Fig 20, page 17]

3

Check the ‘circuit breaker’: If your

Scooter

stops for no

apparent reason, it is probably due to the circuit breaker

disconnecting from the speed control electronic box

On rare occasions, a temporary overload on the electric

circuit can occur - for instance when climbing a steep

incline

If this happens, the circuit breaker , which is

located under your Richmond’s rear cover and beneath

your seat will trip and pop out

To reset the circuit

breaker wait for two minutes to allow the temperature
activated switch to cool down

Locate the plunger on the circuit breaker through the
access hole by removing the black plug (Fig 35]

Place a

finger onto the circuit breaker and press down on the

plunger until it remains down

You are now ready to

drive again

If the circuit breaker trips up again wait for 5 minutes and try

again

Caution:

If you find the circuit breaker is continually tripping

out, contact your authorised

Freerider

dealer

The battery condition indicator meter operates and the

green status light flashes, your Freerider does not drive:

1

Check the ‘white’ plug’s, located under the rear cover

and positioned in the main controller module (Fig 36]

Check also the status fault codes (page 32] indicated by

the

green L

E

D

on your console flashing

2

Check the freewheel lever is fully engaged (see page 9]

If

it is engaged you should not be able to push your

machine, if disengaged your status light (green L

E

D] will

flash five times
