BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Read
through
the
charger
operating
instructions before using.
Make sure you charge the battery every time
after you use the scooter.
Recharge the batteries at least every two
weeks, even if the scooter has not been used.
Failure to do so will reduce the longevity of
the batteries.
If the battery cannot be fully charged
(Orange light cannot turn to Green) or if the
Orange light turns to Green immediately,
please report this to your dealer. The battery
may be defective.
The voltage difference between the two
batteries on a power unit cannot be more
than 0.5 V; the battery case should be
inspected for cleanliness and evidence of
damage.
If the charger LED is lit red and the charger is
connected to the scooter, check if the
charger is defective or if the cable wiring
connection is poor.
Please keep the battery and connectors clean
otherwise
the
charging
and
battery
performance will be poor.
SCOOTER MAINTENANCE
Your power scooter is designed for minimal
maintenance. However, like any motorized
vehicle it requires routine maintenance. To keep
your scooter for years of trouble-free operation,
we recommend you follow the following
maintenance checks as scheduled.
DAILY CHECKS
1.
Visual check on the conditions of tyres.
2.
Inspect the battery gauge on the
display to determine if batteries need to
be charged.
WEEKLY CHECKS
Your scooter comes with standard pneumatic
tyres. Make sure to maintain the pressure of the
tires between 30-35 psi.
MONTHLY CHECKS
Visually inspect the controller harnesses. Make
sure that they are not frayed, cut or have any
exposed wires.
SEMI-ANNUAL CHECKS
Check the motor brushes. We recommended
that your authorized dealer inspects the brushes
every six months or sooner if your power scooter
is not operating smoothly. If inspection
determines excessive wear on the brushes, they
must be replaced or motor damage will result.
The brushes should be inspected for wear and
colour of the braiding inside the spring. If the
braiding is dark brown, red, silver, purple or gold
then the brush needs replacing.
