RECOMMENDED AREAS FOR ADJUSTMENT
STEERING COLUMN ADJUSTMENT
The steering column locking system works on a ‘cam’ principle
to lock the column in the desired driving position (see Fig 7]
page 8
If you notice the column is not firmly held when the black cam
operating lever is fully down, follow this procedure to re-adjust
the ‘cam’ tension:
1 Push steering column forward as far as it will go with the
locking lever released, ie pushed upwards Support steering
column
2 With a 10mm spanner (not supplied] loosen the locking nut
positioned on the opposite side to the black locking lever
(Fig 34, page 28]
3 Next to the locking nut is a chrome threaded ‘clamping nut’
this has a slightly tapered shape Turn this clamping nut
clockwise approximately a quarter of a turn
4 Push the ‘black’ clamping lever down and test that the tiller
is tightly held in place; adjust ‘clamp nut’ until correct
tension is achieved on clamp plates
5 Tighten locknut with 10mm spanner

If your Freerider Scooter will not start:
1
Check the power key switch is turned ‘on’ If it is, the
battery condition indicator meter will be operating If the
green status light on your console is flashing once per
second, charge your batteries
FIG 36
FIG 35
If the battery condition meter and the green status light
fail to operate when the key switch is in the ‘on’ position,
check the following:
1
Make sure the battery charger is not plugged into the
tiller charge socket, this will prevent drive
2 Check both battery connectors (black connectors] Check
battery terminal condition (Fig 20, page 17]
3 Check the ‘circuit breaker’: If your Scooter stops for no
apparent reason, it is probably due to the circuit breaker
disconnecting from the speed control electronic box
On rare occasions, a temporary overload on the electric
circuit can occur - for instance when climbing a steep
incline If this happens, the circuit breaker , which is
located under your Richmond’s rear cover and beneath
your seat will trip and pop out To reset the circuit
breaker wait for two minutes to allow the temperature
activated switch to cool down
Locate the plunger on the circuit breaker through the
access hole by removing the black plug (Fig 35]
Place a
finger onto the circuit breaker and press down on the
plunger until it remains down You are now ready to
drive again
If the circuit breaker trips up again wait for 5 minutes and try
again
Caution: If you find the circuit breaker is continually tripping
out, contact your authorised Freerider dealer
The battery condition indicator meter operates and the
green status light flashes, your Freerider does not drive:
1 Check the ‘white’ plug’s, located under the rear cover
and positioned in the main controller module (Fig 36]
Check also the status fault codes (page 32] indicated by
the
green L E D on your console flashing
2 Check the freewheel lever is fully engaged (see page 9] If
it is engaged you should not be able to push your
machine, if disengaged your status light (green L E D] will
flash five times
