*  

For a complete charge 

– Do not switch off, unplug or interrupt the recharge cycle until 

it has completed

 

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.
