X. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The Patriot™ is virtually maintenance free. All of the bearings on your Golden Patriot are
permanently lubricated and sealed. No additional lubrication is required. There are,
however, several things that you can do to help keep up the appearance and maintain the
performance of your scooter.
CLEANING YOUR PATRIOT
TM
Tires
• Clean the tires with ordinary kitchen-type cleaners and a damp cloth.
• Do not use solvents on the tires. Solvents can cause the tire material to break down or
become too soft.
Body
The body shrouds of your scooter are formed ABS plastic and are painted for style and
durability.
Do not use excess water or pressure when cleaning your scooter.
• Never take your scooter through a car wash.
• Never use a high pressure hose to wash your scooter.
• Use cool water mixed with a mild soap to remove dirt and oils. Dry with a clean soft cloth.
• Buff by hand with a soft cloth.
• Do not use a sharp object when removing shroud pieces.
• Clean the body of your scooter with a damp cloth.
Vinyl Seat
Clean with a mild soap or mild detergent and a damp cloth. A vinyl cleaner may also be
used.
Never use silicone tire products on tires as it may cause tire slippage.
Rubber Floor Mat
The rubber floor mat snaps into place on the scooter floor. Simply pull up on the mat to
remove it.
• Clean the floor mat with ordinary kitchen-type cleaners and a damp cloth.
• Do not use solvents on the floor mat. Solvents can cause the material to break down.
