Ultralite 380 & 480 Scooter Owner’s Manual & Service Record
Servicing and Maintenance
1. This vehicle is designed for minimum maintenance.
However it is recommended that a competent
engineer service the vehicle at least once a year. If the vehicle is used constantly we recommend a twice
yearly maintenance.
2. Ensure the engineer stamps the Service Log
(page 23) on completion for all servicing carried out on
this vehicle. Keep all receipts for servicing and repairs with this handbook. This may add value when selling
the vehicle.
3. When the vehicle is due for its annual service make sure you report any concerns you have,
preferably when you book the service (See points to look out for below).
4. On completion of the service, always test the vehicle
before the engineer leaves and make sure you
are satisfied with the work carried out.
Points to look out for:
• Are there any strange noises from the wheels or does the frame creak when going over rough ground?
• 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?
• 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?
