ABS PLASTIC SHROUDS
If your scooter has a body shroud with a
glossy finish
, the body shroud has been sprayed with a
clear sealant coating. You can apply a light coat of car wax to help it retain its high-gloss appearance.
If your scooter has a body shroud with a
matte finish
, use ONLY products developed for matte-
finish paint. Do not use wax, detail spray, ArmorAll®, or any product made for glossy paint.
WARNING! Carefully choose the correct product to protect the finish of your scooter’s shroud(s).
ONLY products developed for matte-finish paint should be used on shrouds with a matte finish.
Failure to follow this warning may result in damage to the shroud’s matte paint finish.
AXLE BEARINGS AND THE MOTOR/TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
These items are all prelubricated, sealed, and require no subsequent lubrication.
MOTOR BRUSHES
The motor brushes are housed inside of the motor transaxle/assembly. They should be inspected
periodically for wear by your authorized dealer.
CONSOLE, CHARGER, AND REAR ELECTRONICS
Keep these areas free of moisture.
Allow these areas to dry thoroughly if they have been exposed to moisture before operating your
scooter again.
BRAKE PADS
The brake pads on your scooter should be inspected periodically for wear. Once the pads reach 1/16-th
of an inch or 2 mm in thickness, they should be replaced. If any of the brake pads needs to be replaced,
then it is best to replace all the brake pads at the same time. Contact your authorized dealer for more
information on replacing the brake pads.
FUSE REPLACEMENT
In the event a fuse should cease to work:
1. Remove the fuse by pulling it out of its slot.
2. Examine the fuse to be sure it is blown.
See figure 17.
3. Insert a new fuse of the same rating.
WARNING! The replacement fuse
must exactly match the rating of
the fuse being replaced. Failure
to use properly rated fuses may
cause damage to the electrical
system.
NYLON LOCK NUT REPLACEMENT
Any nylon insert lock nut removed during
the periodic maintenance, assembly, or
disassembly of the scooter must be replaced
with a new nut. Nylon insert lock nuts should
not be reused as it may cause damage to
the nylon insert, resulting in a less secure
fit. Replacement nylon insert lock nuts are
available at local hardware stores or through
your authorized dealer.
