Storage 
 

If the Navigator is not be used for longer time, please consider the below remarks. The Navigator needs 
to be stored with fully charged batteries in a dry and freeze free environment, in regard to freezing 
danger of the batteries. Always turn the Navigator off during storage. 
 

The charge condition of the batteries should be checked regularly when the Navigator is not used for a 
long time. If necessary the batteries must be recharged. 
 
The Navigator should never be left unnecessary in the bright sunlight. Parts like the upholstery or 
metal parts might get very hot. This also might shorten the tyres lifetime. 
 

Upholstery 
 

The scooters upholstery should be cleaned with a mild cleanser. Weep the upholstery should with a 
moist cloth after cleaning. 
 

Chasis and plastic parts 
 

The chassis and the plastic parts, including the control panel, should only be cleaned with a light moist 
cloth. Dry the parts after that with a dry cloth. 
 

It is not allowed to clean the Navigator with a high pressure hose or otherwise using too much water. 
 
All the maintenance that can be done by the user is described in this chapter. If the Navigator needs 
additional maintenance or repair you need to contact your dealer. It is not allowed to perform any 
other than the herein described tasks on the Navigator. 

 
Charging the batteries 
 

Always charge the batteries regularly and on time. This preserves the maximum charge capacity and 
increases the lifetime of the batteries. For charging instructions see page 18. 
 

Tires 
 

It is very important to check the tire pressure or tire damage regularly. When any damage might occur 
(for instance caused by a nail or glass), contact your dealer immediately. 
The scooter tires should always be on the prescribed pressure (see chapter technical data). Driving with 
low pressure tires causes bad driving and steering characteristics. 
 

The tires should never be inflated over the maximum tire pressure. The tire might get off the rim or 
explode.
