Usage Features
The scooter is designed for straightforward assembly and operation, with a focus on user safety and convenience.
Assembly:
- Removing the Plastic Stopper (A): The handlebar locking mechanism (11) must be opened to remove the plastic plug (13), allowing the handlebar (1) to be inserted.
- Unfolding the Steering Column (B): The handle (5) of the folding mechanism is pulled to open the folding mechanism (6). The steering column (9) is then lifted until it locks vertically, indicated by an audible "clicking" sound.
- Positioning Handlebars (C): The two handles (1) are taken out of the rapid tightening lever for handlebars (2) and inserted into the left and right sides of the handlebar stem (7). A "click" sound for each handlebar confirms correct placement, and the two spring buttons (12) should be visible.
- Adjusting Handlebar Height (D): The rapid tightening lever for the steering column (8) is opened to adjust the height of the handlebar stem (7). Once a "click" is heard, indicating one of the three index positions, the lever (8) is firmly fastened.
Folding:
- Folding Down the Handlebars (E): The rapid tightening lever for the steering column (8) is opened. The steering column spring buttons (3) are pressed, the handlebar (7) is lowered, and then the rapid tightening lever (8) is fastened.
- Packing Away the Handlebars (F): The handlebar locking mechanism (11) is opened. The spring button (12) on each handlebar is pressed, and the handlebars are removed from both sides of the handlebar stem (7). They are then placed into the rapid tightening lever for handlebars (2), and the handlebar locking mechanism (11) is fastened.
- Folding the Steering Column (G): The handle (5) of the folding mechanism is lifted to unlock the folding mechanism (6). The steering column height (9) is then lowered until it reaches the locking position, confirmed by a "click" sound.
Safety Guidelines:
- Adhere to all local traffic rules and regulations.
- Ride only on flat, clean surfaces; avoid steps, sloped driveways, hills, roadways, alleys, swimming pool areas, grass, wet surfaces, or other bodies of water.
- Designed for single-person use only.
- Always wear appropriate protective equipment: helmet, hand/wrist protection, elbow protection, and knee protection.
- Ensure the steering system is correctly adjusted, and all connection components are firmly secured and not broken. Check all connectors/fasteners for integrity and stability, including the folding mechanism and handlebar height.
- Always wear suitable shoes that provide a firm, secure stance; avoid riding barefoot or in sandals.
- Do not ride in darkness or poor visibility.
- The scooter is not designed for jumps or stunts.
Maintenance Features
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of the scooter.
- Documentation: Retain all instructions and parts for future reference.
- Regular Checks: Periodically inspect the scooter for damage and ensure all screws are securely tightened.
- Seat Security: Verify that the seat (if applicable, though not explicitly shown as a primary feature for this model) is securely fastened.
- Lubrication: Lubricate the chain as often as required (suggests a chain-driven mechanism, which is unusual for a kick scooter but mentioned in the French text, possibly a generic instruction or for a variant).
- Cleaning: Clean the scooter and wheels with a clean, damp cloth.
