Service Record
To ensure your scooter is correctly serviced take it
to your dealer for regular servicing. We recommend
that scooters are serviced at least annually, and
your dealer may charge a fee for this.
A copy of the service record is at the back of this
handbook.
Even if the scooter has not been used, it
should still be serviced annually.
7.3
Battery Pack and Tyres
For information on the battery pack, please
read section 6 on Battery Charging and Care.
Tyre condition will be affected by how you drive
the scooter and what terrain it is driven on.
The scooter comes with solid tyres which are
puncture proof, so there is no need to check
tyre pressure.
7.4
Cleaning
The scooter should be cleaned periodically,
especially if you tend to drive on sand, gravel or
in other adverse environments.
Use a soft, wrung dry cloth to keep your
scooter clean and dust free. Use a damp cloth
and mild detergent to clean the scooter.

Do not use a hose pipe or splash
water directly on to the scooter.
Do not use petrol, solvents or
vaporising solutions as these many

the forward position, the scooter switched off
with the battery pack removed and charger
