MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
Your power scooter is designed for minimal maintenance. However, like any
motorized vehicle it requires routine maintenance.
To keep your PF5 for years of trouble-free operation, we recommend the
following maintenance checks as scheduled.
DAILY CHECKS
1.
Visual check on the conditions of tyres
.
2.
Inspect the battery condition meter on the controller to determine if batteries
need to be charged.
WEEKLY CHECKS
1.
Your power scooter comes with standard pneumatic tyres. If your power
scooter comes with optional air tires, make sure to maintain the pressure of the
tires between 30-35 psi.(Kpa unit)
2.
Check the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at
least three feet of clearance around your power scooter.
To check the brakes (your power scooter may move slightly when performing this
test):
→
Turn on the controller and turn down the speed and response adjustment knob.
→
After one second, check that the battery condition meter remains on condition.
→
Slowly push the finger lever control forward until you hear the fail safe brakes
click. Immediately release the finger lever control. You will be able to hear each
fail safe brake operates within a few seconds of lever release.
→
Repeat this test of the brake for reversing positions.
MONTHLY CHECKS
1.Visually inspect the controller harnesses. Make sure that they are not frayed,
cut or have any exposed wires.
SEMI-ANNUAL CHECKS
1.
Check the motor brushes. We recommended that your authorized dealer inspect
the bushes every six months or sooner if your power scooter is not operating
smoothly. If inspection determines excessive wear on the brushes, they must be
replaced or motor damage will result.
Warning! Failure to maintain the brushes could void the power scooter
warranty.
T
o inspect or replace the motor brushes:
1.Unscrew the motor brush caps. (See Fig 26 )
2.Remove the brushes.
3.Inspect the brushes for wear . (See Fig 27 )
