(Ensure all wrapping and packing materials are 

taken off your scooter before you start)

With the 6mm allen key (provided), ensure the bolt 

at the top of the forks is tightly fitted by turning 

it clockwise. Although this is pre-tightened at 

factory level, it is important to check it has not 

come loose during transit. Be sure not to over-

tighten this bolt.

Slide the Handlebars onto the fork tube, ensuring 

the fork and bars are lined up correctly.

Avoid twisting/turning the bars as you slide it 

down. Doing so may loosen the compression.

Ensure both bars and the clamp are touching the 

top of the headset.

When you are satisfied that your front wheel and 

your handle bars are inline using your 6mm Allen 

Key, start tightening the bolts from the bottom 

up. Do this by turning the Allen Key in a clockwise 

rotation.

Repeat this action until all 2 bolts are tightened 

securely.

FAILURE TO TIGHTEN OR INSTALL PROPERLY 

MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL 

AND INJURY. IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE 

UNDERSTANDING THESE INSTRUCTIONS 

SEEK ASSISTANCE OF  A QUALIFIED 

MECHANIC.

Tightening your SCS Compression

Slide the clamp onto the fork, tighten the 

compression bolt into the fork and the top cap 

compresses your front end together. Once your 

front end is tightened, you install your bars into 

the top of the clamp and align your bars. Your bars 

are now sitting on top of the compression top cap 

inside the SCS Clamp. You then tighten all four 

bolts to lock both your compression and bars in 

place.

Lubricating your bearings

You will need to take off your wheels to lubricate 

your wheel bearings. This is done by taking 6m 

Allen Key, and turning them anti clock-wise.  The 

wheels may need some encouragement to slide 

out. Using a damp cloth wipe off any dirt or grime 

on your wheels and bearings. Using bicycle bearing 

oil, place 3 to 4 drops directly on the bearing 

covers and allow the oil to sink in. If the wheels do 

not spin freely after this you may need to replace 

the bearings.
