3.2. Gently pull or push the vehicle chassis front end forward until it stops. Then lift and turn the T-Lever
counterclockwise and lock the chassis into position. You might need to slightly adjust the two chassis
once the TLever is lowered for it to “click” into lock. Check that the lever is locked. (Fig 3.2.1)

3.3. Remove the floorboard knobs from both sides of the chassis, located just under the front seat on the
frame.
3.4. Slide the floorboard extension into position by angling it in toward the front of the CRICKET. Check that
the Key is in the “OFF” position and you may need to depress the throttle pedal slightly to get the
floorboard to clear.
