13. MAINTENANCE
We recommend that the Supersport has an annual service and maintenance check by your Supersport Dealer or
TGA Ltd. The following are weekly/monthly checks that will keep the machine in good running order.
•
Do not apply oil or grease to any components. Sealed bearings and nylon bushes eliminate the need for
lubrication.
•
Keep all components clean and dry.
•
Keep tyres inflated to 35 psi. Low tyre pressure will degrade performance so it is very important to check
pressure frequently.
•
Check tyres for wear. Replace as soon as there is any sign of excessive wear.
•
The Supersport uses maintenance free batteries, they are leak-proof regardless of position. Charging the
battery is the only maintenance required (refer to charging instructions). DO NOT leave the batteries flat,
charge every 4-6 weeks if the Supersport is being stored and not used.
•
Check the electrical cable connectors are fully home and secure.
•
Battery Replacement is dependent upon use, the batteries generally last up to 3 years. When batteries
loose power too quickly, it is likely they are due for replacement. If there is no dealer in your area, you may
want to change the batteries yourself. Order batteries direct from TGA Ltd. Installation instructions are
included with the replacement batteries.
•
Repairs relating to electrical or mechanical components should be performed by your Supersport dealer
only.
Seat Upholstery: A damp cloth and a little soap will keep your seat, and backrest 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 Supersport 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 Supersport. Water could be forced into the electronics and cause
permanent damage.
DO NOT store your Supersport in damp conditions. This may affect the electronics if left for very long periods of
time.
Electronics
: Servicing of the drive electronics and charger should only be carried out by your local TGA service
dealer. These units are sealed and should not be opened. BROKEN SEALS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
DO NOT operate your Supersport in extreme weather conditions i.e. very heavy rain. DO NOT drive 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 the
scooter and contact your TGA dealer.
