SEAT LOCK MECHANISM

The seat lock mechanism allows you to lock the seat in eight

positions (at 45° intervals). When released, the seat can swivel

in both directions or be lifted from the scooter.

ROTATING SEAT

1. Release the seat lock by pulling the lever upwards.

2. Hold the lever while rotating and release at the desired

location.

3. Find the “Engaged” position by swiveling slightly to the left

and right of the desired position and ensure that the seat lock

is properly engaged.

CAPTAIN SEAT

WARNING: Before rotating the seat, turn the power

off by removing the ON/OFF key plug.

ARMREST

The armrest on either side can be rotated upwards for easier

transfers.

ADJUSTABLE WIDTH ARMREST

The width of the armrests positions can be adjusted.

The armrest adjustment knobs are located to the rear of the seat.

ADJUSTABLE KNOB

To loosen armrest, turn the knob counter-clockwise. After selecting the

new width, re-tighten knobs and ensure that the armrests are secure.

SEAT HEIGHT [tools required]

With a 13 mm wrench and 6 mm Allen key, remove the seat post

receptacle bolt and nut. Select one of the four different positions,

reinsert the hardware and tighten.

CAPTAIN SEAT (cont.)

TILLER ANGLE ADJUSTMENT

EASY RELEASE ADJUSTMENT

To adjust the angle of the tiller, pull the tiller release lever outward

to the side and adjust the tiller to the desired position.

The tiller can be adjusted to 5 different positions.

For storage or transportation, the tiller may be fully collapsed to

make the scooter more compact.

Pull the tiller release lever outward to the side and pull the tiller

assembly all the way backward toward the batteries.

BALL RATCHET ADJUSTMENT

To adjust the tiller angle, turn the adjustment lever

counterclockwise to un-lock the tiller. If the front of the basket is

in the way, turn the tiller to the right for extra clearance. Adjust the

tiller to the desired position, then retighten the adjustment lever.

After tightening, the lever orientation can be re-positioned by

pushing in the round button on the lever. Releasing the button re-

sets the handle into position.

EASY ADJUSTMENT

The scooter is equipped with an infinitely adjustable independent dual spring/shock suspension system. To

adjust the comfort level of the rear suspension, remove the scooter rear cover to expose the spring/shocks.

The spring/shocks can be manually adjusted by simply turning the adjustment disk located at the top of the

spring/shock.

Turning the disk in a clockwise direction, will provide a firmer

suspension.

Turning the disk in a counterclockwise direction will provide a

softer suspension.

Note: The spring/shocks should be adjusted to the same position on

each side.

DUAL REAR SUSPENSION ADJUSTMENT

The Fortress 2000 scooter has been designed to be disassembled and reassembled quickly, easily, and without

the use of tools. Should you have any difficulty during either the assembly or disassembly procedures, please

recheck the instructions and try again.

DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE

Release the seat lock mechanism and lift the seat off the scooter.

Remove the battery cover by releasing the velcro on each side of

the floor pan.

Remove rear shroud by pushing on the back side of the shroud to clear

the positioning tab.

If your scooter has a light package unplug the rear shroud lights

from the scooter before removing the cover.

Disconnect the following connectors from the controller box:

Both battery connectors (marked in red), the light package

connector (marked in yellow), and the charger connector located

on the side of the controller box (marked in red, white and black).

NOTE: These connectors have a safety latch feature to prevent

accidental disconnection. Press on each side of the connector to

release the latch before pulling.

DISASSEMBLING / ASSEMBLING

NOTE: Ensure the power is off before disassembly or re-assembly of your scooter.

Unbuckle the battery hold down straps. Remove the batteries by

lifting them up by the carrying strap.

CAUTION - the batteries are much heavier than they appear!

Unplug the controller connector from the controller box.

This connector has the same safety latching feature mentioned

earlier.

Push up on the latch locking lever and pull the latch lever forward.

This disengages the locking mechanism that couples the front

section to the rear section.

Grasp the seat post with one hand and the front tiller with the other

hand. Tilt the rear section of the scooter backward using the seat

post until it rests on its rear bumper.

Grasp the front tiller with one hand and the centre part of the frame

with the other hand. Pull up on the frame. The front section will

disengage from the rear. Simply roll the front section away from

the rear by maintaining balance on the front wheel.

DISASSEMBLING / ASSEMBLING (cont.)

HANDLING AND LOADING

The seat should be carried by grabbing the frame below the seat back and the front of the seat upholstery.

Use both hands to grab the floor pan to carry the front section. Use the tiller release lever to fold the tiller in

the lowest position.

Grab the rear bumper with one hand and the other side of the rear frame with the other hand to carry the rear

section.

The batteries should be carried in the carrying straps.

When placing the disassembled scooter in a vehicle, make sure that the brake lever on the rear section is in

the brake “Engaged” position. Once the front section is loaded, the batteries can be replaced in the battery

recesses and buckled down. If there is not enough room in the trunk for the seat, it can be placed on the back

seat of the vehicle. Place it upside down on the armrests.

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE

To re-assemble the scooter, reverse the steps outlined above making sure that:

•The rear frame is resting on the rear bumper when the hooking rods are placed into the “J” hooks.

•The locking mechanism and the latch lever are properly engaged.

•The batteries are properly secured with the hold down straps.

•All electrical connections are secure.

DISASSEMBLING / ASSEMBLING (cont.)

If your scooter can fit assembled into a vehicle, DO NOT use scooter as a passenger seat in a

transporting vehicle. It is not designed to restrain you during an impact of an automobile accident.
