SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Wear suitable protective clothing for your own safety. Wear personal protective equipment. This includes at least: hand / wrist guards, knee pads, head protection and elbow pads. Never use the scooter without shoes!
The scooter is only intended for use by one person.
Only use the scooter on surfaces that are suitable for it, i.e. those which are flat, clean, dry, and use the scooter where possible away from other road users. Avoid sloping ground. The brakes may become hot if the scooter has been used for a while! Your footwear could be damaged! The brakes shouldn’t be touched until they have cooled down.
Always be considerate of others.
Before you begin – Ensure that all fasteners and locking parts are intact and tight, e.g. the folding mechanism and the height setting of the handlebar. The functions of self-securing screw threads can be impaired after repeated loosening and tightening of the connecting elements. Check especially for the correct alignment and fastening of the steering set-up.
Make sure that the stand is folded safely while driving.
Do not use the scooter at twilight, at night or in poor visibility. Do not use it on roads or thoroughfares or on slopes or hills. Avoid being in the proximity of stairs and open water.
The scooter is not suitable for jumps.
Prior to using the scooter, please inform yourself about restricting applicable traffic regulations for the intended area of application. The use of the product requires specific skills and knowledge to be able to avoid injuries due to crashes and collisions. Children should only use the product when they are under adult supervision.
Ensure when riding that the logo on the handlebar points to the front or else that the push buttons is as such oriented backwards.
Check that the brake systems are working before every use! Both systems must be working perfectly. If necessary, adjustthem as described under “Maintenance and storage”.

INSTRUCTIONS ON ASSEMBLY
No tools are required to assemble the product. The scooter is delivered in its transport form (folded)! (Picture 1)

PLEASE PROCEED AS FOLLOWS TO GET THE SCOOTER READY FOR USE

Pull the lever that is in the direction of movement, located to the right of the folding mechanism, in order to release the transportation lock. (Picture 2)
Unfold the scooter‘s handlebars upwards.
Now push the folding hinge towards the handlebar stem until you hear it click into place. (Picture 3)
Loosen the quick release fastener on the T-piece of the handlebar shaft by pushing the lever away from the T-piece. (Picture 4). Insert the handlebar grips in the T-piece of the handlebar grip. Use your thumbs to press down both locking buttons until the the grips can be easily pushed into the T-section. Turn the handlebar grips until the locking buttons are positioned in the two openings intended for them and you hear them click into place. Check that both handlebar grips are fitted correctly by pulling both outwards. Do not let the two hand grips move out of their locking mechanism, once they are fitted properly. Now close the quick release fastener on the T-piece of the handlebar shaft, by inserting the lever into the T-piece. In case the grips are not firmly fitted enough, open the quick release fastener again and turn the screw on the opposite side deeper into the thread, so that the fastening clamp tightly sits on the T-piece.
Loosen the quick release lock on the handlebar rod by pushing the lever of the quick release lock until the lever is parallel to the handlebar grip. (Picture 5)
The handlebars can be locked into place at 4 different heights. Pull the handlebar rod out of the handlebar stem until it is at the required height and the relevant button has snapped into place. (Picture 6) The maximum height cannot be exceeded due to the integrated lock.
Now close the quick release lock by pushing the lever down to the handlebar stem. (Picture 5)
In the event that the handlebar does not sit tight enough at the selected height, open the quick release fastener again and turn the screw on the opposite side deeper into the thread, so that the fastening clamp tightly sits on the handlebar. Repeat this process until the handlebar can be securely adjusted.
Before using, always check that all parts are firmly fixed, particularly the folding mechanism, steering lock, wheels, brake disc and brake lever.

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS

NOTHING’S EASY AT FIRST …
… most accidents happen to “beginners” within the first ten minutes. Particular care should be taken during this stage.
DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS
The scooter moves when a foot is used to regularly push off, just as with well-known children’s scooters. Braking is also easy – just push down the friction brake on the back wheel (mudguard) or activate the brake disc by pulling the brake lever on the handlebars.
We advise you to use both brake systems simultaneously and always to apply them slowly. Look ahead while you are using the scooter in order to avoid sudden braking maneuvers; this will protect the material and help keep you safe.
We recommend folding the scooter by hand after each ride or using the double stand located under the running board (14035) or the kickstand (14015). The latter is in the direction of travel on the left side under the running board. The respective stand is used by simply folding and unfolding it.
Aluminium is a good and light material but should also be handled carefully as it is not as hard as steel, for example.
TIRE PRESSURE
Do not exceed the maximum tire pressure of 4.5 bar. The recommended tire pressure is 4.0 to 4.2 bar.
ADJUSTING THE BRAKE DISC
You can adjust the brake disc (Picture 10) using adjustment screws A and B. Loosen the two screws and make sure that the brake disc is positioned centrally between the brake pads. Apply the brake. This presses the brake shoes against the brake disc. Then tighten the adjustment screws A and B again. Should this adjustment method be insufficient, you can adjust the system using Bowden cable screw C. Loosen the screw to free the Bowden cable and tauten the cable if necessary. Tighten the screw again after the adjusting procedure. Before use, check again that all parts are firmly fixed and that the brake disc is functioning perfectly.
REMOVAL OF THE WHEEL
Use the two Allen wrenches to loosen the axle screw connections.
Pull the axle bolt from the wheel hub and remove the wheel from the fork.
CHANGING THE BALL BEARINGS
There are two ball bearings inside the wheel hub and between these an axle guide sleeve (Picture 7). A screwdriver or an Allen wrench can be used to push the ball bearings out of the wheel hub. In order to insert a new ball bearing, this must be pressed laterally into the wheel hub.
TUBE, SHEATH AND RIM CHANGES
In the event that there is still air in the tube, you have to let this out first over the valve. Using two levers – we recommend a tire lever – try to pry one side of the sheath over the outer edge of the rim (Picture 8). Continue this process until the entire side of the sheath is protruding over the wheel rim.
TUBE EXCHANGE
For the change of the tube, pull the tube from the rim on the leveraged sheath side (Picture 9). Press the valve back through the hole in the rim base, in order to completely remove the tube. For the insertion of a new tube, first lead the valve under the sheath through the hole in the rim base. Then slightly inflate the tube, this makes the insertion of the remaining part of the tube into the rim easier. Press the side of the sheath that is protruding over the edge of the rim back into the rim base. If necessary, the last remaining part of the sheath edge can be levered into the rim base. (Picture 8)
SHEATH AND RIM CHANGES
For the change of the sheath or else the rim, lever the other side of the sheath in the same way over the other rim edge. You can then press / turn the rim together with the tube out. In order to attach a new sheath, press the rim (if needed a new rim) with already mounted tubing into the sheath, so that the two sides of the sheath protrude over both of the rim edges. Then first press back one side of the sheath completely into the rim base and then do the same on the other side. If necessary, each of the remaining parts of the sheath edges can be levered into the rim base.
MOUNTING THE WHEEL
First ensure that the ball bearings are fitted in the wheel hub and the axle guide sleeve is positioned between them. Once this is ensured, you can insert the wheel into the fork and thereby fix it with the axle bolt. Use the two Allen screws for this purpose in order to counteract both screw sides.
BEARINGS
Your kick scooter is equipped with precision ball bearings, which were filled with grease under high pressure during manufacture. For this reason, the rollers of the kick scooter only run lightly and swiftly, while under load. Bearings are maintenancefree, but they
are wear parts. Caution! Worn bearings make conspicuous audible noises and their function is constrained. In order to maintain optimal riding pleasure and to ensure lasting safety, you should replace bearings, as soon as they begin to exhibit signs of being worn. In the case of full load and daily use we recommend the replacement of the rollers and bearings twice a year. Bearings are available as accessories under http://www.hudora.de/.
