Your scooter, like any motorized vehicle requires a routine maintenance check. Preventative maintenance is very
important. You can perform some of these regular checks by yourself. If you follow the maintenance checks in
this section as scheduled, you can help ensure that your scooter gives you years of trouble-free operation.
MOISTURE
You should avoid positioning your scooter in damp areas of any kind. Direct exposure to water or dampness
could cause your scooter to malfunction electronically and mechanically. Moisture can cause electrical
components to corrode and the scooter’s frame to rust.
Should your scooter come in contact with water:
• Dry your scooter as thoroughly as possible with a towel
• Allow your scooter to sit in a warm, dry place to get any moisture to evaporate
• Make safety checks of all of the operations before using your scooter
• If any inconsistencies are found, contact an authorized Drive provider
TEMPERATURE
• Some of the parts of your scooter are susceptible to extreme changes in temperature. Always keep
your scooter in proper range of temperature.
• In extreme cold temperature, the batteries may freeze. The temperature at which they may freeze
depends on a number of factors, such as battery charge, usage and composition of batteries
(e.g. AGM or Gel-cell).
• Temperatures above 100 degrees may cause your scooter to operate at a reduced speed. This
reduced speed is a safety feature built into the controls that helps prevent damage to the motor and
other electrical components.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
• Avoid knocking or bumping the consoles.
• Avoid prolonged exposure of your scooter to extreme conditions, such as heat, cold or moisture.
• Keep the tiller console clean.
• Check all connectors to ensure that they are tight and secured properly.
• Check all electrical connectors including the charger’s connectors. Make sure they are all tight and are
not corroded. Batteries must sit flat in the battery case.
• A yellow light turns on that indicates a half capacity of the battery has been consumed, and they need to
be charged, but the scooter can be used, but the battery is close to full discharge.
• When the red light is on, that indicates that the batteries have been fully discharged, and they need to
be charged immediately.
• A full charge will take up to 7 hours
• The body should have been sprayed with a clear sealant coating. You can apply a light coat of car wax
to help it retain it’s high gloss appearance.
• All wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication.
