Care Instructions
A . Wheel bearings:
Avoid going through water, oil or sand as this can damage to the
wheel bearings.
To look after the wheel bearings, systematically check that the wheels turn properly by
turning the scooter upside-down and using your hand to spin the wheels. If the wheels do
not spin they must then be removed to check their condition. First unscrew the wheel
axle, remove the axle and detach the wheel, then carefully push the two wheel bearings
out of their housing. If they are chipped or dented, they should be replaced. If there is no
visible damage, they must then be oiled. To do this, remove all traces of grease, mud or
dust with a kitchen towel or cloth, and re-oil them with a grease spray or by leaving them
to soak overnight in oil [turn them several times in the oil first]. Reassemble the wheel
bearings and axles, followed by the wheel, onto the scooter. Repeat process for the other
wheel.
B. Wheels:
The wheels wear down with time and can be pierced if overly used on rough
surfaces. The back wheel on which the brake is applied is particularly affected after
several hours of braking. In the interest of safety, they should be checked regularly and
changed if necessary.
