4. Installation (Setup)

This section outlines the general steps for replacing or installing the folding mechanism. Specific tools (e.g., Allen wrenches, spanners) may be required depending on your scooter's configuration.

1. Prepare the Scooter: Ensure the scooter is stable and supported. If replacing an existing mechanism, carefully remove any covers or components obstructing access to the folding joint.
2. Remove Old Mechanism (if applicable): Loosen and remove all bolts and pins securing the old folding mechanism to the scooter's stem and deck. Keep track of all hardware.
3. Position New Mechanism: Align the new NANROBOT D4+MAX folding mechanism with the mounting points on the scooter's stem and deck. Ensure correct orientation.
4. Secure the Mechanism: Insert all bolts and pins through the designated holes. Hand-tighten them initially.
5. Tighten Fasteners: Using appropriate tools, gradually tighten all fasteners. Refer to your scooter's main manual for specific torque specifications if available. Ensure the mechanism is firmly secured and there is no wobble.
6. Test Folding Function: Carefully test the folding and unfolding action several times to ensure smooth operation and secure locking in both positions.
7. Final Check: Before riding, double-check all connections and ensure no tools or loose parts remain.

5. Operating the Folding Mechanism

Once installed, the folding mechanism allows for easy transformation of your scooter for storage or transport.

5.1. Folding the Scooter

1. Engage Safety Latch: Locate the safety latch or pin on the folding mechanism and disengage it. This prevents accidental folding.
2. Release Locking Lever: Pull or push the main locking lever to release the stem from its upright, locked position.
3. Fold Down Stem: Carefully fold the scooter's stem downwards until it clicks into place or rests securely against the deck.
4. Secure in Folded Position: Some models may have an additional latch or hook to secure the stem in the folded position. Engage this if present.

5.2. Unfolding the Scooter

1. Release Folded Latch (if present): Disengage any latch or hook securing the stem in the folded position.
2. Lift Stem: Grasp the handlebars and carefully lift the stem upwards until it reaches its fully upright position.
3. Engage Locking Lever: Ensure the main locking lever snaps firmly into place, securing the stem in the upright position.
4. Engage Safety Latch: Re-engage the safety latch or pin to prevent accidental folding during operation.
5. Verify Lock: Gently push and pull on the handlebars to confirm the stem is securely locked and does not wobble. Do not ride the scooter if the stem is not fully locked.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your folding mechanism will ensure its longevity and safe operation.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the folding mechanism to remove dirt, dust, and debris that can impede its function. Use a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary, then dry thoroughly.
• Lubrication: Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or light grease to the moving parts of the mechanism (hinge points, locking pin, lever pivot) every few months or as needed. Avoid over-lubrication.
• Check Fasteners: Regularly inspect all bolts and screws associated with the folding mechanism. Tighten any that appear loose. Do not overtighten.
• Inspect for Wear: Look for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage on the mechanism components. If significant wear or damage is observed, the part should be replaced immediately.
• Functionality Check: Routinely test the folding and unfolding action to ensure it operates smoothly and locks securely.
