9. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Although the
GATSBY
requires very little maintenance, do not neglect it. When performing
maintenance procedures on the
GATSBY
, make sure that it stands on a level surface and
that the key is not inserted.
This chapter contains both, periodic maintenance procedures and maintenance
procedures to be performed as required.
Periodic Maintenance Procedures
Remark
: For periodic maintenance, no special tools are needed.
Battery status
Indicator
The battery status indicator is located on the tiller panel and shows you
the remaining capacity of the batteries. Like petrol gauges in cars, the
Indicator is not absolutely accurate; it is merely a guide to help you
avoid running out of
“fuel”. The accuracy of the indicator also depends
on the type and age of the batteries.
When the indicator shows 4 bars, recharge batteries as soon as
possible.
When the indicator shows 2 bars, recharge immediately.
