You will find that the distance that your Vita Midi 4 can travel will gradually increase over the first few
weeks of use as the batteries reach their optimum efficiency after approximately 12 cycles of discharge
and recharge. NB When the charger is plugged into your Vita Midi 4 an automatic inhibit device will shut
down the scooter stopping anything being used whilst plugged into the charger.
From time to time the type of charger may change so please read instructions on charger.
Care! Warning
* Do not smoke or use a naked flame while your batteries are being charged.
* Do not use the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise misused in any way.
Take it to a qualified engineer.
* Do not dismantle the charger. This will void the warranty.
* Do not leave charger plugged into your Vita Midi 4 with the charger switched off as this may discharge
your batteries.
* For a complete charge – Do not switch off, unplug or interrupt the recharge cycle until the charging
cycle has completed.
12. MAINTENANCE
We recommend that your Vita Midi 4 has an annual service and maintenance check by TGA or a TGA
approved dealer. This is very important and can help to avoid breakdowns. 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. 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.
• Your Vita Midi 4 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 your Vita Midi 4 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
lose 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. Installation instructions are
included with the replacement batteries. If required TGA can come out and fit batteries for you.
• Repairs relating to electrical or mechanical components should be performed by a qualified engineer
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 Vita Midi 4 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 Vita Midi 4. Water could be forced into the electronics and cause
permanent damage.
DO NOT store your Vita Midi 4 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 a qualified
engineer. These units are sealed and should not be opened. BROKEN SEALS WILL VOID YOUR
WARRANTY.
