7. INSPECTION AND M AINTENANCE 

 

 Suggestions     

If necessary, ask for help from your dealer for advice about maintaining and replacing 
the battery. 

1.

 

Make sure the terminals are installed properly and put the cover back on. 

2.

 

Do not use the battery to charge telecom equipment or other items. 

3.

 

Battery efficiency will vary with outside conditions; the driving distances  will 
be shorter in the winter. If the vehicle is not used for a long time, please charge 
the battery at least every week. 

Replace both batteries together. 

 

7.1 INSPECTION 

 

Clean  the  scooter  with  a  damp  cloth  and  dust  down  approximately  once  a  week  to 
preserve the appearance of the scooter. 

 

Adjust the tiller height and return to the original position and swivel the seat once a 
week to ensure the parts adjust and remove smoothly and easily when required. 

 

Check for signs of wear and tear on the tires and the upholstery on a regular basis. 

 

For  optimum  performance  and  to  increase  the  lifespan  of  your  scooter,  it  is 
recommended that you have your scooter serviced once a year. 

 

7.2 REGULAR CHECKING RECORD  

 

To  make  sure  your  scooter  is  correctly  serviced,  take  it  to  your  dealer  for  regular 
maintenance checks. This should be at six months intervals after an initial inspection 
after one month. Your dealer may charge a fee for this. The checking record is shown 
below.
