Rascal Smilie - Tiller Adjustment & Lock; Transferring in & out of the Scooter

Tiller Adjustment & Lock
The telescopic tiller can be height adjusted for a
comfortable riding position and lowered for
transport and storage.
Take care when adjusting the tiller not to pinch
your
fingers on the slide of the tiller. Once in the
desired position, the tiller can be locked in place.
Tiller Height Adjustment:
• Rotate the tiller knob anti-clockwise
sufficiently to allow the tiller tube to move
(Fig.14).
• Raise/Lower the tiller so that it
is in its required
position.
• Rotate the tiller knob clockwise and ensure
that it is tight.
Do not extend the telescopic tiller beyond the
limit-line marked as ‘maximum’ on the tiller tube
(Fig. 15).
