initial setup of this scooter and must perform all of the procedures
in this manual.
1.0 SAFETY GUIDELINES
The symbols below are used throughout this owner's manual and on the scooter to identify
warnings and important information. It is very important for you to read them and
understand them completely.
WARNING! Indicates a hazardous situation that could result in serious injury or
death if it is not avoided.
CAUTION! Indicates a hazardous situation that could result in minor or slight
injury if it is not avoided.
IMPORTANT! Indicates a hazardous situation that could result in damage to
property if it is not avoided.
USEFUL TIP! Recommendations and information for ecient, trouble-free use.
Your scooter is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility.
We provide an extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the scooter
user. Please be aware that the final selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of
scooter to be used is the responsibility of the scooter user who is capable of making such a
decision and his/her health care professional (i.e., medical doctor, physical therapist, etc.).
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has
properly fitted the scooter to the user and has assisted the prescribing health care
professional and/or the authorized provider in the instruction process for the use of the
product.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the scooter user will
need to practice operating the scooter in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained
attendant can be defined as a family member or care professional specially trained in
assisting a scooter user in various daily living activities.
As you begin using your scooter during daily activities you will probably encounter situations
in which you will need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and
confident control when using the scooter.
Additional general information can be found on the supplemental information sheets and
booklets included in your Owner’s Package. Please fully read and review the information and
keep it readily available for future reference.

6.3 Connecting Front & Rear Sections
The unique design of your Komfi-Rider scooter allows for quick and easy assembly of the
front and rear scooter sections.
You need to set up your scooter on a flat surface area such as a tarmac car park and
where you have enough space to assembly the scooter parts. Do not try and set up the
scooter on bumpy eneven ground as this may prevent you connecting the scooter togeth-
er correctly.
CAUTION! When assembling the front and rear sections together keep fingers
well clear of ‘pinch points’.
• Connect the front and rear sections by aligning them (Fig 6.3.1),making sure the rear sec-
tion is tipping back as shown in Fig 6.3.1.
• Carefully lift the rear of the front section by holding onto the seat post and gently lower
the front section onto the two rear hooks of the rear section (Fig 6.3.2).
• Once you have located the front section correctly onto the rear section hooks (Fig 6.3.2)
then push down gently on the seat post making sure the splitting release lever (Fig 6.3.3)
has fully located correctly and 'sprung back' level with plastic shroud.
