10. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The Zippy Lite™ is virtually maintenance free. All of the bearings are permanently lubricated and
sealed. No additional lubrication is required. There are, however, several things that you can do to
help keep up the appearance and maintain the performance of your scooter.
CLEANING YOUR ZIPPY LITE
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, deck shroud) or your scooter is formed ABS plastic and is painted for style
and durability. Each Zippy Lite comes standard with three sets of quick snap colour shrouds in Red,
Blue. Colours can be changed by gently snapping off the pieces. See figure 25 and 26.
•
Clean the body of your scooter with a damp cloth. Do not hose down your scooter! Dry with a
clean soft cloth.
•
Use cool water mixed with a mild soap to remove dirt and oils.
•
Buff by hand with a soft cloth.
Vinyl Seat
Clean with a mild soap or mild detergent and a damp cloth. A vinyl cleaner may also be used.
Auto Grade 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.
