Power Cut Out Safety Mechanism
To protect the electronic circuit of your scooter from damage
a safety mechanism has been built in that cuts the power if a
wall, rock or other immovable object is hit. If this occurs
simply wait for a short period to allow the scooter to reset
itself and resume use.
Sand or Grit on Seals
Sand or grit is the enemy of seals. Correct maintenance and
care is essential. To remove sand or grit from the seals, rin-
se the seals in fresh water and apply fresh lubricant. If there
is sand inside the Battery Housing, gently brush the sand
from the unit taking care not to scratch the sealing surfaces.
Accidental Flooding
Be sure to keep the seals sand and grit free to ensure they
keep water out and to close the vent plug after accessing
the battery chamber. However, should the seals not be
clean or the vent plug left open and water enter the battery
chamber, your scooter will not be damaged as it is designed
for protection against accidental flooding. If water enters the
battery chamber the scooter will automatically stop
functioning. If this occurs:
1. Remove the unit from the water.
2. Open the battery chamber, remove the battery, and if
salt water has entered rinse it out with fresh water.
3. Dry the battery chamber and battery thoroughly and re-
assemble, then it’s ready to be used.
