Seat Upholstery
A damp cloth and a little soap will keep your seat, looking good. Do not use abrasive cleaners
as this will damage the coating. Upholstery can be damaged by chemical cleaners. Ultraviolet
light can also reduce the life of the upholstery coating material. This is a normal ageing process
and cannot be guaranteed (see exclusion in the Warranty Terms section).
Bodywork
The bodywork on your Minimo can be lightly washed with clean soapy water. Car polish can be
used to keep the paint and bodywork in pristine condition. Do not use abrasive cleaners or
strong detergents as this will fade the colour.
CAUTION:
Do not hose down your Minimo. Water could be forced into the electronics and
cause permanent damage.
DO NOT:
Store your Minimo in damp conditions. This may affect the electronics if left for very
long periods of time.
Electronics
Servicing of the electronics and charger should only be carried out by your Minimo dealer or
TGA. These units are sealed and should not be opened.
BROKEN SEALS WILL VOID YOUR
WARRANTY
.
DO NOT: O
perate your Minimo in extreme weather conditions i.e. very heavy rain.
DO NOT: D
rive through deep water. This could damage the main electronic controller or the
electronics.
Motor Brakes
If the motor brakes are functioning correctly, you will not be able to push your machine when it
is switched off or switched on with the speed control throttle in the neutral position.
If your machine can be pushed when as described above, the motor brake(s) may be faulty.
Do
not use your Minimo and contact your Minimo dealer or TGA.
SAFETY NOTE:
For your own safety, we recommend that you check the function of your
brakes prior to every journey.
Driving Brake
When you drive your Minimo and let go of the speed control lever, it should reduce speed very
quickly. If you notice a change in the normal driving/slowing condition and your Minimo does not
slow down quickly then
do not use your Minimo and contact your Minimo dealer or TGA.
Batteries
Keep your batteries well charged (see Battery Charging section). Keep batteries clean and in a
dry frost-proof place.
IMPORTANT:
It is not possible to predict the life expectancy of your batteries. This is mainly
due to different workloads a battery can be subjected to.
