Tools required

Instructions
Loosen the large screw in the mechanism
If your folding mechanism is very stiff or has some play, you can fix this yourself.
The fine adjustment is made using the hook at the end of the handlebar. First loosen the large screw inside the mechanism.
Adjusting the angle of the hook
Then adjust the angle of the hook using the small grub screw.
If you screw the grub screw in further, you adjust the folding mechanism more tightly. When you loosen the grub screw, it becomes looser.
Check the setting
Check from time to time that the folding mechanism is neither too tight nor too loose.
It should close properly and have as little play as possible.
Tighten the large screw again
Then tighten the large screw again.
Check the result
After adjustment, check that the folding mechanism closes properly and that the handlebars are secure. In particular, check that the mechanism can be operated without excessive force and that there is no noticeable play.
