Cleaning the Scooter
When cleaning the scooter please pay attention to the following points:
•
Only use a damp cloth and gentle detergent.
•
DO NOT use any abrasive products.
•
DO NOT use a hose or pressure washing equipment.
•
AVOID water contact with any electrical components.
•
DO NOT put the scooter through an automated car wash or similar.
Routine Maintenance
We recommend that the following checks be carried out on a periodical basis
by a qualified person:
RMA Scooters
Maintenance and Inspection
Daily
Weekly
Monthly
Annually
Check / Charge Batteries
Check removable parts are secure
Check electrical connections are secure
Check tyre pressures (30 psi rear, 25 psi front)
Check tyre wear (minimum 2mm tread depth)
Lubricate wheel / castor bearings with a light oil
Complete inspection by an authorised Dealer
The transaxle/gearbox is a sealed unit and does not need lubricating.
Wheels and Tyres
The wheels of your scooter 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 refitting the wheel the retaining nut is fitted with a locking
washer or the screw threads are treated with ‘Loc-tite’ or a similar thread
locking compound. When changing a tyre the inner tube must be deflated.
Remove the four bolts from the wheel and slit the rim. Tyre pressure is
recommended to be kept at 30psi on the rear and 25psi on the front tyres.
Note: Regularly check and maintain these tyre pressures as low tyre
pressure can reduce the range of your scooter.
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.
