Tightening your compression
If your bars start to shake or move side to side, this
means your compression needs to be tightened.
Do so by removing your handlebars and with your
6mm Allen Key and insert it into the top of your
fork as demonstrated. Turning it in a clockwise
direction, tighten until some pressure is felt in the
Allen Key. You want to be able to still spin your forks
freely, however, if over tightened you can restrict
the movement and damage your compression
or headset. This should be done by an adult or a
professional mechanic.

SCOOTER ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL MAINTENANCE (CONT.)
(Ensure all wrapping and packing materials are
taken off your scooter before you start)
With the 6mm allen key (provided), ensure the bolt
at the top of the forks is tightly fitted by turning
it clockwise. Although this is pre-tightened at
factory level, it is important to check it has not
come loose during transit. Be sure not to over-
tighten this bolt.
Slide the Handlebars onto the fork tube, ensuring
the fork and bars are lined up correctly.
Avoid twisting/turning the bars as you slide it
down. Doing so may loosen the compression.
Ensure both bars and the clamp are touching the
top of the headset.
When you are satisfied that your front wheel and
your handle bars are inline using your 6mm Allen
Key, start tightening the bolts from the bottom
up. Do this by turning the Allen Key in a clockwise
rotation.
Repeat this action until all 2 bolts are tightened
securely.
FAILURE TO TIGHTEN OR INSTALL PROPERLY
MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL
AND INJURY. IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE
UNDERSTANDING THESE INSTRUCTIONS
SEEK ASSISTANCE OF A QUALIFIED
MECHANIC.
Tightening your SCS Compression
Slide the clamp onto the fork, tighten the
compression bolt into the fork and the top cap
compresses your front end together. Once your
front end is tightened, you install your bars into
the top of the clamp and align your bars. Your bars
are now sitting on top of the compression top cap
inside the SCS Clamp. You then tighten all four
bolts to lock both your compression and bars in
place.
Lubricating your bearings
You will need to take off your wheels to lubricate
your wheel bearings. This is done by taking 6m
Allen Key, and turning them anti clock-wise. The
wheels may need some encouragement to slide
out. Using a damp cloth wipe off any dirt or grime
on your wheels and bearings. Using bicycle bearing
oil, place 3 to 4 drops directly on the bearing
covers and allow the oil to sink in. If the wheels do
not spin freely after this you may need to replace
the bearings.
