The tyre should be exchanged when the tread has worn out.
Remove the wheel from the fork with the aid of 19mm and
21mm spanners. The front wheel has two bearings which may
have various spacing washers between the fork, please note the
order of these washers.
Remove the tyre from the wheel by following point 6 above for
Rear Wheels, using a 13mm spanner and hex key. For
re-assembly, just reverse procedure making certain that all
washers supplied are replaced correctly.
The Scooter wheels are pneumatic and their pressure
needs to be maintained at 30 p.s.i. (210 kpa)
Pressures exceeding those recommended will result
in an uncomfortable ride. Underinflation will result in poor
battery and motor performance. Do not exceed the maximum
pressures marked on the side wall of the tyre, this could
damage the tyre or wheel rim.
The fitting of solid inserts into the wheels to
replace the pneumatic tube (puncture proofing) is not
recommended as these products detract from the natural
cushioned ride produced from 'air' filled tyres. If you require
puncture proof tyres, your dealer can, at an extra cost, insert
a liquid puncture proofing agent.
Keep your batteries well charged (see Battery Charging section
of this manual). Keep batteries clean and in a dry frost-proof
place. Keep battery terminals tight. Your
r Agent will
be able to test your batteries for their state of service.
a charge may be made for this service.
It is not possible to predict the life expectancy
of your batteries. This is mainly due to the different
workloads a battery can be subjected to.
Some
Scooter users will use their vehicle every day
and for long periods of time. Their batteries will receive a
near total discharge, and the life of the batteries will be short

Other Scooter users will use their machines less frequently,
putting their batteries through a less demanding discharge
lifestyle. These batteries will probably have a longer life in
excess of 12months). This can only be a general guide and
one cannot be more specific, due to other factors such as;
motor loads, tyre pressures, general service factors, working
conditions, periods of non-use and abuse etc.
When you need to purchase batteries, always insist on the
model fitted as standard equipment to your Scooter. Do not
use less expensive car starter batteries. If in doubt, consult
your local
authorised agent.
Correct disposal of exhausted batteries is advised.
Please note: The charger supplied with your
Scooter is specifically designed for sealed type batteries and
may not work correctly with other battery designs. (See also
Batteries and Battery Charging section of this manual).
The
Scooter has been designed with low
maintenance in mind. Wheel bearings and steering bearings
are sealed for life. The following points will need
