Hardware Inspection
Check and make sure all fasteners are present and secure. Replace any
missing fasteners and tighten any loose fasteners.
Cleaning Instructions
Wash your scooter with a sponge using household detergent diluted in
warm water to clean all components (i.e., seat, front cover, floor pan,
rear cover, etc.). Wipe excess soapy water from the vehicle using a clean
damp cloth. Avoid getting any water on the electrical components (i.e.,
connectors, switches, battery terminals, etc.).
Polishing
Polish all plastic components to help protect them from scratches and a
dull finish. This can be done by using a non-abrasive auto polishing
material available at your local automotive parts dealer or local
department store (automotive section). Make sure to clean the surface
first with an auto body cleaner using a soft cotton cloth and dry before
polishing. To bring out the shine, follow the manufacturer’s instruction
on the polishing material.
Vehicle Storage
If you will not be using your vehicle for an extended period of time, such
as a month or longer, use the following guidelines to protect the vehicle
and maintain the batteries:
• Store the vehicle in a warm dry place and never leave it
unprotected where it may be subjected to water damage (a
cover is available for added protection).
• Charge the batteries fully before putting it into storage. Do not
overcharge or leave the batteries on continuous charge.
• Store batteries in a storage location where the temperature is
between 5
°
to 104
°
F (-15
°
to 40
°
C). Do not place batteries
near any heat sources such as transformers, sparks, or open
flames.
Note:
Recharge the batteries approximately every 30 days to maintain a
full charge on the batteries.
