the released position (par. 5.4).
4.2 STEERING WHEEL ASSEMBLY
1. Put the machine on a flat surface
and straighten the front wheels.
2. Using a screwdriver, remove the central cap
(fig. 3.B) from the steering wheel (fig. 3.A).
3. Fit the steering wheel (fig. 3.A) onto the
protruding shaft (fig. 3.C), rotate it so that the
spokes are facing the seat and then push
it so that the steering wheel hub couples
with the protruding end of the pin (fig. 3.D).
4. Secure the steering wheel using the screw
(fig. 3.E) and the washers (fig. 3.F) e (fig.
3.G) supplied, in the indicated sequence.

4.4 MOUNTING AND CONNECTING
THE BATTERY
The battery (fig. 5.A) is housed under the
seat and secured by a spring (fig. 5.B).

using the screws supplied as shown.
2. Mount the battery retaining spring (fig. 5.B),
making sure that the cables are routed
correctly in front of the battery, so that they
are not pinched by the spring (fig. 5.B).
IMPORTANT Always fully charge the
battery according to the instructions
in the battery booklet.
