X. INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE 

STORAGE 

If you need to store your scooter, be sure it is stored in a dry place free from extreme 
temperatures. Always fully charge, and then disconnect the batteries prior to storage.  

ATTENTION – Infrequently charged batteries, or batteries stored without 
a full charge are susceptible to permanent damage, causing unreliable 
performance from your scooter.  

If your scooter is stored for a prolonged period flat spots may develop in the wheels. 
This will cause an uneven sensation when driving, but should work itself out over 
time. If you still notice the flat spots after continued use, replace the wheels on your 
scooter immediately.  

SUGGESTION – You can place a sturdy platform under the frame of your 
scooter to bring the wheels off the ground, and weight off the wheels. 
This will prevent flat spots from developing while storing your scooter. 

WARNING – Improper storage of your scooter may result in permanent 
damage to the frame and electronics.  

CLEANING & DISINFECTION 

To clean your scooter use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner on the 
plastic and metal parts. If necessary, clean your scooter with an approved disinfectant 
safe for use on your unit.  

WARNING – Never hose off your scooter or expose it to direct contact 
with water.  

WARNING – Never use any chemicals on the upholstery of your seat, this 
may cause the seat to dry out and crack.
