lowing checks before use.
1. Visually check the vehicle for damage.
2. Visually check the tyres for inflation/

tiller thumb-wheel is tight.
5. Check that the seat is located correctly.
6. Check the armrests are secure
7. The battery should be fully charged.
8. Check that all lighting functions properly,
including indicators, brake, sidelights and

the product and batteries. The allowable temper-
ature range to store the mobility scooter is -40˚C up
to 65˚C. The allowable temperature range to store

Disposal
Contact your dealer for advice before you consider
disposing of your scooter. They will be aware of the
environmental regulations in force at the time and
will assist you to meet the applicable environmental
legislation.
Servicing and
Maintenance
1. This vehicle is designed for minimal main-
tenance.
It is recommended that your vehicle
is serviced at least once a year, by an approved
Electric Mobility Dealer. If the vehicle is used con-
stantly we recommend a twice yearly maintenance.
2. Ensure the engineer stamps the Service Log
(page 31) on completion of all servicing. Keep all
receipts for servicing and repairs with this handbook.
This may add value when selling the vehicle.
3. When the vehicle is due for its annual service
make sure you report any concerns you have
,
preferably when you book the service (See points to
look out for below).
4. On completion of the service, always test
the vehicle
before the engineer leaves and make
sure you are satisfied with the work carried out.
Points to look out for:
• Are there any strange noises from the wheels
or does the frame creak when going over rough
ground?
• Is the battery charged up correctly – is the “full”
charge green light on after charging?
• Is the steering tight or is it loose when turning? Is
there excessive play in the steering?
• Are the brakes effective?
• Is there any damage to spigots or parts related to
disassembly?
• Has anything come loose?
• Does the vehicle perform as well as it did when it
was new?
• Are there noises or rattles that were not there
before?
• Are there any signs of damage, corrosion or
cracking?

Warning!
Important – Possible faults
As
you get used to your vehicle you will get a feel
for how it behaves. If something feels unusual,
for instance the vehicle does not accelerate or
brake smoothly; the brakes are not holding on
a slope or the steering feels different, stop using
the scooter, contact your dealer immediately
and explain to the engineer exactly what the
problem is.
