7. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE EVERY TWELVE MONTHS
To protect your scooter and ensure that it remains in a safe and reliable condition, Scooters
Australia advises you to have your scooter serviced every 12 months by an authorized
Scooters Australia dealer. This also protects your warranty. Services can be arranged by
contacting your nearest dealer and organising either a home service or a service in the
workshop. Fees may apply for additional time taken if you organise a home service.
CLEANING YOUR SCOOTER
Tyres
: Clean the tyres with ordinary kitchen-type cleaners and a damp cloth. Do not use
solvents on the tyres. Solvents can cause the tyre material to break down or become too soft.
Body:
The body (rear shroud, tiller shroud, deck shroud) of your scooter is formed ABS
plastic and coated with a durable automotive-type finish. Use cool water mixed with a mild
soap to remove dirt and oils. Use a nonabrasive car wax on the ABS body parts. Buff by hand
with a soft cloth. Mr Sheen is a good product to use.
Seats:
Clean with a mild soap or mild detergent and a damp cloth. A vinyl cleaner may also
be used.
Deck Carpet:
Wash in a heavy-duty clothes washer or spray clean with an automotive-type
wand after the carpet has been removed from the scooter. The deck carpet snaps into place
on the scooter floor. Simply pull up on the carpet to remove it.
BATTERIES AND CHARGING
Battery maintenance is the most important part of maintaining your scooter.
Keeping the
batteries fully charged helps to extend battery life.
Use the following guidelines to help
keep your batteries in optimum condition. Batteries need about 20 cycles to reach their
maximum potential.
•
For daily use, keep batteries fully charged. We recommend that you plug in the off-
board charger at the end of each day the scooter is used and charge overnight for at
least 8 hours.
•
If you are not going to use the scooter for more than a week, fully charge the batteries
and then disconnect them from the scooter. See Fig. 13.
To Charge the Batteries:
The charger for is an off-board type of charger. To charge the batteries:
1. Plug the charger into the charger port on the tiller. See Fig 20.
2. Plug the charger into the power point
3. Turn the power point on
4. Turn the Charger on and leave on until at least 1 hour after the green light has come
on.
NOTE: Do not turn the charger off and leave it plugged into the scooter
