5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Riding the Scooter

1. Place one foot firmly on the scooter deck.
2. Use your other foot to push off the ground, generating momentum.
3. Once moving, place both feet on the deck, one behind the other, or side-by-side if comfortable.
4. Steer by gently leaning and turning the handlebars in the desired direction.

5.2 Braking

The Oxelo Town 7 XL features a rear braking system.

• To slow down or stop, gently press your foot down on the rear fender brake located above the rear wheel.
• Apply pressure gradually to avoid sudden stops, which can lead to loss of balance.
• Practice braking at low speeds in a safe area before riding in more challenging environments.

5.3 Folding the Scooter

To fold the scooter for storage or transport:

1. Ensure the scooter is stationary and on a flat surface.
2. Release the quick-release clamp on the handlebar stem and lower the handlebar to its lowest position. Re-secure the clamp.
3. Locate the folding mechanism lever at the base of the handlebar stem.
4. Release the locking mechanism and carefully push the handlebar stem downwards until it folds parallel to the deck. Ensure it locks into the folded position.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your scooter.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the scooter with a damp cloth after use. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Wheel Check: Regularly inspect the polyurethane wheels for wear, cracks, or damage. Replace worn wheels promptly.
• Brake Check: Ensure the rear brake is functioning correctly and provides adequate stopping power. Adjust or replace if necessary.
• Bearings: Check wheel bearings for smooth rotation. If they feel gritty or stiff, they may need cleaning or replacement.
• Folding Mechanism: Keep the folding mechanism clean and free of debris. Lubricate moving parts with a light oil if they become stiff.
• Fasteners: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and screws to ensure they are tight. Do not overtighten.
• Storage: Store the scooter in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:

• Scooter not folding/unfolding smoothly: Check for debris in the mechanism. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the moving parts. Ensure the locking pin is fully retracted/engaged.
• Handlebar wobbles: Ensure the quick-release clamp is fully tightened. Check that the handlebar stem is fully inserted and locked into the main frame.
• Brake not effective: Inspect the rear fender brake for wear. Ensure it makes proper contact with the wheel. Clean any dirt or debris from the brake area and wheel surface.
• Wheels not spinning freely: Check for debris caught in the wheels or bearings. The bearings may need cleaning or replacement if they are worn.
