When lifting the transmission, keep well away from clothing. It is normal to
find a light film of lubrication around this part.
MOTOR BRAKES
Safety Note: For your own safety, we recommend that you check the function of your
Luggie brakes prior to any journey. If the motor brake is functioning correctly and the
drive is engaged, you will not be able to push your scooter when the scooter is powered on
or off without the use of the wig wag levers.Refer to the Freewheeling Your Luggie on page
12 for additional details.
Warning:
Letting go of the wig wag lever while driving will reduce the speed of your
Luggie very quickly. If you notice a change in the normal slowing/braking condition of
your scooter, or if your Luggie does not slow down quickly, please
do not
use your scooter.
Contact your Authorized Luggie Dealer.
TIRES
Check the condition of your tires regularly. Look for signs of wear, cuts and foreign objects
lodged in the tread of your Luggie tires (FIG 22).
FIG 22
TIRE SERVICING REAR WHEELS
To remove a rear wheel from your Luggie follow the instructions below (
ONLY
COMPETENT PEOPLE SHOULD CARRY OUT THESE PROCEDURES
).
Power off your Luggie.
Using a suitable body stand, lift the side of the vehicle you wish to service off the
ground. Place the stand under the chassis. Care must be taken when lifting heavy loads.
You may need a friend to help you. Please be safe.
Do not
lift the scooter by the plastic
body work.
With the aid of a 13mm spanner (not supplied), remove the center hub nut and washer.
Slide the wheel from the mounting axle. Rear wheels are fitted to the drive axle via a
hub which is located onto a key. These wheels fit tight onto the axle and may need some
pressure on the wheel hub to release them from the axles. Look for spacing washers and
take care not to misplace the drive key which fits between the wheel hub and the axle
shaft.
To reassemble the wheel simply follow the above procedure in reverse order noting the
following points:
Make certain that you replace any spacing washers and keys in the order that they were
moved.
