Follow the Maintenance Schedule at the end of this section to periodically inspect your scooter for
serviceable items.
Avoid abuse to the throttle and control functions.
Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat or cold.
Keep the scooter clean and free from moisture.
Never use a conditioner on the tread of the wheels.
EXPOSURE TO MOISTURE
Should your scooter come in contact with water or moisture, dry your scooter thoroughly with a towel.
Allow your scooter to sit in a dry place for 8 to 12 hours to allow unseen moisture to evaporate. Check
the throttle operation and brakes before using your scooter again. If any items require service please
contact E-Wheels Service department 888 571 2845.
OPERATING TEMPERATURES
Your scooter is designed to operate ideally between 18°F and 122°F. In extremely cold conditions your
batteries may freeze depending on the battery charge, usage, and composition of the batteries. In
extremely hot conditions your scooter may operate at a lower speed. This is due to the safety
mechanism built into the unit to prevent damage to the gearbox and other electronic functions when
operating too hot.
VIII. 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.
