Points to look out for:
• Are there any unusual noises from the wheels or does the frame creak or are there difficulties in folding the
Model 355 e.g. stiffness, or damage to the seat sockets or frame attachment?
• Are there any difficulties in assembling the front and rear sections of the chassis ?
• Is the battery charging up correctly – is the “full” charge green light on after charging?
• Is the steering tight or is it loose when turning? Is there any play in the steering or in the steering lock?
• Has anything come loose?
• Does the vehicle perform as well as it did when it was new?
• Are there noises or rattles that were not there before?
• Are there any signs of damage or cracking?
