strength fasteners and may have special coatings.
• Many nuts are of the Nylock type. They have a plastic insert
to help prevent loosening.

can. Loose bolts or screws can cause damage to other chair
parts causing them to fail.

• Note the position of washers and spacers before disassembly.
• To avoid damage to the frame, replace all washers and spac-
ers when you reassemble parts.
E. FRONT LIGHTING ADJUSTMENT

Lighting adjustments beyond the ability of the user can result in
serious injury. The front lighting assembly can be adjusted laterally or
vertically to the user’s needs. Any adjustment will have a better result if
it is carried out in a dark room or garage, The user should also be in
the chair to verify that the angles and placement for lighting are correct
for their height and abilities.

lighting unit laterally, centering the beam in front of the rider

c. Retighten the screws.
2. Vertical adjustment
a. Using a 2.5 mm hex key, loosen the set screws (B) on both
sides of the chair and move the lighting units vertically, so
that the surface in front of the chair is well lit at the correct
distance for the user.
NOTE - The measured distance in front of the chair where the beams light
up the riding surface will depend on average speed, and the height
of the user.
b. Tighten the set screws so that the lighting unit won’t move
when bumped, or vibrate loose.
c. Make sure the adjustment is correct by allowing the user to
drive with the new setting. Make any additional adjustments
that are necessary.
