   • Locate the patented folding system button on the side of the scooter's base.
   • Press the button and gently pull the T-bar upwards until it locks into its upright position. Ensure it clicks securely.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Globber Master Scooter.

• Cleaning: Wipe the scooter clean with a damp cloth after use. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Do not use high-pressure water.
• Wheel Inspection: Regularly check the wheels for wear, cracks, or damage. The PU cast wheels are durable, but extreme use can cause wear.
• Bearing Care: The ABEC 5 bearings are designed for smooth operation. If wheels become stiff or noisy, they may need cleaning or replacement. Avoid riding through water or sand, as this can damage bearings.
• Brake Check: Ensure the rear brake is functioning correctly and provides adequate stopping power. Check for wear on the brake pad.
• Fastener Check: Periodically inspect all screws, bolts, and clamps to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten as necessary.
• Storage: Store the scooter in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent material degradation.
