The following list of vehicle checks and inspections should be performed at the intervals indicated.
Whenever You Stop to Charge
•
Check that the vehicle is charging

Look for underinflated tires.

Check tire pressure. Check the tires when cold, not after a long drive.

Check the operation of all exterior lamps including the brake lamps, turn signals, and hazard

It is critical to charge the battery at least once per month. Lithium ion batteries can be damaged
by allowing the battery to completely deplete. If the vehicle will not be used for an extended
period of time please charge it at least once a month. It is also highly recommended to store the
unit indoors and away from freezing temperatures. Failure to maintain the battery in good
operating condition will void the
manufacturer’s warranty. Do not leave the unit for many days at a
severely depleted charge.
