vehicle which will allow you to negotiate obstacles found in
confined shopping areas. This is just one of the features you
will find on your Scooter.
Others are:
COMFORT - The contoured seat helps cushion you from the
vibrations of a journey, giving you maximum comfort. A fully
proportional speed-controller with a speed restriction facility
allows you a smooth jerk-free ride. Automatic braking gives
you that added peace of mind.
VERSATILITY - The removable fold down seat, together with
a facility to fully lower the steering handlebar, allows your
Richmond to be easily transported in an average saloon or
hatchback car for those days when you travel further afield.
SERVICE - Your Freerider Scooter has been designed to be
service friendly. Sealed batteries which are virtually
maintenance-free will give your Scooter the power it
requires. Should you need to take your batteries on an
aircraft, then you can have peace of mind because the
batteries are totally spill-free. (Please consult your carrier
for details).
SAFETY - The advanced speed controller has been designed
with extensive self-checking circuits to give you the maximum
‘state-of-the-art’ safety technology. Fully automatic braking
gives the driver confidence in any environment. The on/off key
can be removed for added security and safety, this disables
the electronic drive circuitry, and your Scooter cannot
therefore be easily driven away by any other person.
CAUTION - Do not switch ‘off’ the on/off power key when
you are moving; this will automatically apply the motor
parking brake suddenly and could place you in a dangerous
situation. Your Scooter is fitted with anti-tipping wheels. Do
not remove these anti-tipping wheels , they are an
important part of the Scooter design provided specifically
for your safety. They help protect against backwards tipping
on excessively sharp inclines.
CHARGING - Your Scooter is fitted with a battery level
indicator. Charging is straight forward. Your charger is fully
automatic and will reduce to a top-up charge mode when the
re-charge cycle is complete. (See Batteries and Battery
Charging section of this manual).

Before setting out on your FR168-3P/4P you need to
make sure that your seat is in the correct driving position.
Your
Freerider distributor will set the seat to the correct height
for your individual needs (note: see warnings on page 7)
The seat has five basic adjustments to assist your comfort.
1.
Seat Lock Lever: (Fig 1). This allows the seat to swivel
through 360° and lock in a convenient position. The
locking lever is located under the left side of the seat. NB: It
can be re-located on the right side for your convenience.
Pull up fully to release the seat allowing rotation. Release
lever to lock the seat into the desired position.
Warning: When driving, the seat should be locked in the
straight ahead position.
Caution: The seat locking lever must be lifted up fully
when rotating the seat, failure to observe this may
result in unnecessary wear of the seat post.
Removing seat from Scooter: The seat mounting post is
designed with a special safety lifting point, this will
prevent the seat from inadvertently dismounting itself in
the case of an accidental upset of the Scooter. The seat
can only be demounted by turning the seat 90° to the
right or left from the forward driving position.
2. Armrest Width Adjustment: On each side at the rear of the
seat you will find a large black knob (Fig 2). By simply
loosening this knob you are able to slide the armrests in or
out to whatever width you desire. Re-tighten the knobs fully.
You may need a friend to assist you with this initial setting
up operation. This may extend the width of your Scooter.
Caution: The backrest of your seat will not fully fold

one another.
Warning: Do not drive your Richmond with the arms
removed or in the raised position.
3. Armrest Angle Adjustment: (Fig 3). The armrest angle can
be adjusted individually to suit your needs. To make
