Your scooter should be stored in a dry environment, preferably a garage or shed. Tarpaulins and
covers may create condensation during certain weather conditions. If your scooter is to be stored for
prolonged periods, fully charge the batteries and disconnect the battery plugs.
Please ensure your scooter is protected from heavy rain or high humidity and is stored in a dry
environment. Direct exposure to rain or dampness could cause the scooter’s electrics to malfunction.
Very cold weather can severely deplete battery condition (up to 40%). If left for any period during cold
weather it is very important that the scooter is fully charged before use.
Storage
At six monthly interval you should lubricate the following parts with a light oil or a similar lubricant;
Maintenance
• Seat pivot post.
• Seat release lever pinion.
• Wheel bearings
• Axle of scooter
Wheels and Tyres
The wheels of your scooter all have split rims. This allows any punctures to be repaired easily.
To change the wheels remove the centre bolt and slide the wheel off its axle. Ensure that when refit-
ting the wheel the retaining bolt is fitted with a locking washer or the screw threads are treated with
lock-tite or a similar adhesive.
When changing a tyre the inner tube must be deflated. Remove the four bolts from the wheel and split
the rim. Tyre pressure is recommended to be kept at 30 psi on the rear tyres, and 25 psi on the front.
The transaxle/gear box are sealed units and do not need lubricating. In the event of any difficulties
please consult your dealer.
Product Life Expectancy
Your scooter has been designed to provide the user with a long, reliable life provided it is correctly
maintained and regularly serviced by an authorised dealer. However, due to inevitable wear and tear
and technological improvements it is recommended that the average usable life of this scooter is
five years.
General Cleaning
The shrouds and seat of the scooter should be cleaned using a damp cloth and gentle detergent. Do
not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as this will damage the plastic components. Do not spray water
(hose or pressure washer) onto the scooter as this may cause damage to the electronics.
We suggest that your scooter should undergo a full service at least once a year by an authorised
Shoprider dealer.
