2. Unfolding the Scooter for First-Time Use
A.
Insert and secure the left and right handlebars by pressing the spring-loaded buttons and
inserting them into the T-tube (Figure 1). Make certain the spring-loaded button engages the hole
in the T-bar for each handlebar (Figure 2).

WARNING:
Failure to properly engage the spring-loaded buttons may cause the
handlebars to dislodge while riding and may cause you to lose control and fall. When correctly
engaged the handlebars will not rotate nor will they move sideways. Note that when properly
engaged, the spring-loaded buttons are clearly visible in the holes on the T-tube (Figure 2).
B.
To release the folding mechanism, grasp the T-tube with one hand between the collar clamp
and the quick-release clamp and, with the other hand, rotate the joint lever (Figure 3.) to release
the steering column from the locked position and allow you to pivot it to the upright position. The
joint lever is spring-loaded and will automatically lock in the upright position when fully upright
(Figure 4).

WARNING:
Keep your fingers clear of the pivoting mechanism when folding or
unfolding the scooter. Make sure others are standing clear.
