A. SERVICE & MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The scooter owner can and should perform some service and maintenance, which require no special tools or knowledge
beyond what is presented in this Manual.The following are examples of the types of service you should perform yourself.
All other service, maintenance and repair should be performed in a properly equipped facility by a qualified scooter
mechanic using the correct tools and procedures specified by the manufacturer. Please contact your Dealer.
1. Break-in Period: Your scooter will last longer and perform better if you break it in before riding it on a consistent basis. Control cables
may stretch or “seat” when a new scooter is first used and may require readjustment by your Dealer. Your Mechanical Safety Check
will help you identify things that need readjustment. But even if everything seems fine to you, it's best to take your scooter back to the
Dealer for a checkup. Dealers typically suggest you bring the scooter in for a 30 day checkup. Another way to judge when it's time for
the first checkup is to bring the scooter in after 10 hours of use. But if you think something is wrong with the scooter, take it to your
Dealer before riding it again.
2. Before Every Ride: Perform your Mechanical Safety Check.
See Section 7, “Mechanical Safety Check.”
3. After the Scooter has been exposed to water or grit, or at least every 50 miles: clean the scooter and perform your Mechanical
Safety Check. Talk to your Dealer about the best lubricants and the recommended lubrication frequency suggested for your climate.
4. Cleaning: The components must NEVER be cleaned with a steam jet cleaner, water-jet cleaner, water hose or any system which would
allow water to penetrate the electrical components, thus leading to short circuits, damages and corrosion. Clean with a damp cloth.
Do not use strong cleaning solutions or solvents.
5. After 10 (hard use) to 20 (average) hours of accumulated riding: Hold the front wheel firmly between your feet and rock the scooter
forward and back. Does everything feel solid? If you feel a clunk with each forward or backward movement of the scooter, you probably
have a loose headset. Have your Dealer check it.
• Lift the front wheel off the ground and swing it from side to side. Does it feel smooth? If you feel any binding or roughness in
the steering, your headset may be too tight. Have your Dealer check it.
• Check the frame, particularly in the area around all tube joints and handlebar for any deep scratches, cracks or discoloration.
These may be signs of stress-caused fatigue, indicating that a part is at the end of its useful life and needs to be replaced.
• Check to make sure that all parts and accessories are secure, and tighten any which are loose.
See Torque Specifications, Section 11,“Specifications.”
CAUTION: Like any mechanical device, a scooter and its components are subject to wear and stress. Different
materials and mechanisms wear or fatigue from stress at different rates and have different life cycles. If a
component's life cycle is exceeded, the component can suddenly and catastrophically fail, causing serious
injury to the rider. Some scratches, cracks and discoloration may be signs of stress-caused fatigue, indicating
that a part is at the end of its useful life and needs to be replaced.
