Step 1. Attach the spigot to the mounting plate on the frame by sliding it on.
Then insert the M6 bolt but do not tighten yet.
Next tighten the M8 nuts.
Lastly tighten the M6 nut.
Mounting the canopy to the scooter

Step 3. A) Slide the spigot into the accessory bar then insert a 45mm M8 bolt (supplied)
onto the nut on the accessory bar and tighten up.
B) If there is no nut on the accessory bar you may need to bolt right through
(this may involve drilling an 8 mm hole through the accessory bar and spigot).

12Tip: open out the universal mounting brackets on the frame first.

Step 4. Remove the bolts on the scooter armrests.
Tip: if the armrests are attached directly to the seat remove
the top bolt - see figure 1. Figure 1.

Step 5. N.B. refer to page 15 before attempting this step.
Loosen the quick release clamps (A) on the mounting bracket and loosen the allen
key bolts on the plastic clamps (B). Now attach the brackets to the armrests using
the bolts you removed earlier or the 45mm bolts supplied if required. Ensure any
Nyloc nuts have the bolt protruding by at least 2mm.
The brackets must be as near to level as possible and the allen bolts on the plastic
sleeves tightened.

Tip: the mounting bracket ends can be orientated up or down, whichever fits
your scooter best.

If you are unable to complete the previous step due to a lack of suitable bolts, or suitable fixing
points strong velcro straps are supplied to accommodate this. Feed the straps through the
brackets (Figure 2) and tightly strap around the scooter seat arms. Ensure the straps are tight so
there is no movement.
(Figure 2)

Step 6. Once assembled the plastic clamp should be pushed up the main
frame before being tightened with the 3 allen bolts (figure 3).
Ensure the frame is held tightly and securely so there is no movement.
There must also be sufficient length of the telescopic arm within the outer tube to ensure
adequate clamping with the quick release clamp.
The canopy must be level when viewed from behind (figure 4), ensure this is so before
continuing. If necessary adjust the arms by loosening the allen bolts and sliding up or down.

Step 7. You can now unfold your canopy frame and fit the weatherproof cover.
Lay the weatherproof cover on the roof of the frame, and unfold.
Zip up the sides of the canopy while positioning the velcro around the windscreen to ensure
correct placement.
Secure to the frame using all 6 velcro straps provided. (Open the left hand cover door to
secure the securing straps on the right side and vice versa).
You may need to slide your seat slightly forward and reposition or remove the mirrors
to avoid them colliding with the sides of the canopy.
