Owner’s Handbook (Code: Ambassador_IFU)
Inspect the state of the battery terminals every six
months. Make sure that they are not corroded and
the connections are tight. Periodically apply a thin
film of petroleum jelly on the surface of terminals
to guard against corrosion.

Service Record
To ensure your scooter is correctly serviced take it to
your Drive Medical dealer for regular servicing. We
recommend that scooters are serviced at least annually,
and your dealer may charge a fee for this.
A copy of the service record is at the back of this
handbook. Copies of the servicing schedule are
available from Drive Medical to authorised parties on
request.
Even if the scooter has not been used, it
should still be serviced annually.
7.3
Battery Pack and Tyres
For information on the battery pack, please read
section 6 on Battery Charging and Care.
Tyre condition will be affected by how you drive
the scooter and what terrain it is driven on.
The Ambassador comes with pneumatic tyres, with
a recommended inflation pressure of 26 psi (1.8bar)
The tyre pressure should be periodically checked.
7.4
Cleaning
The scooter should be cleaned periodically,
especially if you tend to drive on sand, gravel or in
other adverse environments.
Use a soft, wrung dry cloth to keep your scooter
clean and dust free. Use a damp cloth and mild
detergent to clean the scooter.
Warning
Do not use a hose pipe or splash water
directly on to the scooter.
Do not use petrol, solvents or vaporising
solutions as these may damage body
panels. Do not use wax
Ensure the charger is unplugged and the
scooter switched off before cleaning the
scooter.
7.5
Storage
Ensure the scooter is stored with the seat set in
the forward position, the scooter switched off with
the battery pack removed and charger
disconnected.
Store the scooter in environments which are
free from direct sunlight and water or
moisture.

dismount from the scooter. We also recommend
removing the seat and batteries prior to moving.

For your safety ask for help if required. You will
need two or more people when moving or lifting
the scooter as a whole.
Never lift the scooter by the bumpers or
body panels, as this can cause injury or
damage.
