Care! Warning
All TGA lithium battery packs contain a temperature sensor. When this sensor records a
temperature of 10°C or lower, the internal circuit board will stop the battery charger from
working in order to protect the battery cells. Once the battery pack reaches a temperature of
approximately 20°C it will then allow the charger to start working again. This is only relevant if
the pack drops below 10°C, so long as the battery pack is stored and remains above 10°C
then the charger should work as normal; standard room temperature is sufficient.
PARKING BRAKE RELEASE
Your scooter is fitted with a manual parking brake release. This is located at the rear of your
scooter just above the right-hand rear wheel. The back position is normal use, pushed
forwards releases the brake and allows your scooter to be pushed. There will be no power to
drive when the brake is in this position, however when switched on the battery condition
indicator lights will flash indicating a fault mode. Never release this lever when your scooter is
on a slope.
MAINTENANCE
We recommend that your scooter has an annual service and maintenance check by either
TGA or an approved mobility specialist. There are however a few tips you can follow yourself
to keep your scooter in good condition.
•
Keep all components clean and dry.
•
Keep your tyres inflated according to the technical specification. Low tyre pressure will
degrade your scooters performance so it is very important that you check them
frequently.
•
Check your tyres for wear and replace them as soon as there is any sign of excessive
wear.
•
Your scooter uses lithium maintenance free batteries which are leak-proof regardless
of their position so charging the battery is the only maintenance required.
DO NOT
leave the batteries flat though, charge them every 4-6 weeks if your scooter is being
stored or not in use.
•
Check any accessible electrical cable connectors are fully home and secure.
•
Battery replacement is dependent upon use. When your batteries lose power too
quickly, it is likely they need replacing. If you want to change the batteries yourself
installation instructions are included with the replacement batteries from TGA.
•
Make sure all repairs relating to electrical or mechanical components are carried out by
TGA or an approved mobility specialist only.
•
Do not apply oil or grease to any components. Sealed bearings and nylon bushes
eliminate the need for lubrication.
Seat Upholstery
You can use a damp cloth and a little soap to keep your seat looking good. Do not use abrasive
cleaning materials as this will damage the coating of your seat. Upholstery can also be
damaged by chemicals so do not over apply. Ultraviolet light can also reduce the life of the
material coating your seat.
