PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
All vehicles experience some level of wear over the course of operation. In addition to
performing the Routine Inspection listed in this manual, it is recommended that you
perform preventative maintenance to further ensure the optimal performance and
service life of your vehicle, and for your safety. If you are uncertain of how to perform any
of the following preventative maintenance, seek professional service. Preventative
maintenance should include the following:
I. GENERAL MAINTENANCE
a.
Keep the motor differential clean to insure proper acceleration and dynamic
performance.
b.
Make sure the throttle rotates freely.
c. Make sure the hand brakes and parking brake are operational, including
inspection of the brake shoes for extreme wear or friction when applied.
d.
Inspect the front and rear shock absorbers for damage and insure both are
functioning properly.
e.
Make sure all tires are properly inflated to the recommended psi.
f.
Inspect all electrical components to make sure they are functioning properly.
g.
Make sure all fasteners and screws are tightly secured throughout the eTrike
body.

impair proper functioning and lower the life of the etrike.
