Then use the small grub screw to adjust the angle of the hook.

If you tighten the grub screw further, you'll make the folding mechanism tighter. If you loosen the grub screw, it will become looser.

Check the settings

Check occasionally to make sure the folding mechanism isn't set too tight or too loose.

It should close tightly and have as little play as possible.

4

Tighten the large screw again

Then tighten the large screw again.

When assembling, make sure all screws are tightened properly and that the folding mechanism is securely locked.

Check the result

After adjusting the settings, check that the folding mechanism closes properly and that the handlebars are securely in place. Pay particular attention to ensuring that the mechanism can be operated without excessive force and that there is no noticeable play.
