Your Travel Scooter requires a minimal amount of care and maintenance. If you do not feel confident in your
ability to perform the maintenance listed below, you may schedule inspection and maintenance at your
authorized Mega Motion Provider. The following areas require periodic inspection and/or care and
maintenance.
TIRE PRESSURE
If equipped with pneumatic tires, always maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure indicated on each tire.
WARNING! It is important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure indicated on each tire be
maintained in pneumatic tires at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires.
Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst. Failure to
maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure indicated on pneumatic tires at all times may result
in tire and/or wheel failure.
Regularly inspect your Travel Scooter’s tires for signs of wear.
WHEEL REPLACEMENT
If your Travel Scooter is equipped with pneumatic tires and you have a flat tire, you can have the tube
replaced. If your Travel Scooter is equipped with a solid tire insert, either the solid insert or the entire
wheel must be replaced depending on the model. Contact your authorized Mega Motion Provider for
information regarding replacement wheels for your Travel Scooter.
WARNING! Wheels on your Travel Scooter should only be serviced/replaced by a qualified
technician.
WARNING! Be sure that the key is removed from the key switch and the Travel Scooter
is not in freewheel mode before performing this procedure.
WARNING! When changing a tire, remove only the center lug nut, then remove the wheel.
If any further disassembly is required, deflate the tire completely or it may explode.
