Maintenance and Servicing
This section presents information to keep your scooter in peak operating
condition, including:
• Preventative Maintenance
• Troubleshooting

Your Rascal scooter requires only minimal maintenance and by setting
time aside each month for careful inspection and checking items included
in this section, you can be assured of a long, useful life of your vehicle.
Preventative Maintenance
Performing periodic preventative maintenance on your scooter will ensure
long, useful operational life as well as identifying any potential problems
that may occur that might affect safe use and operation of the vehicle.
Maintenance topics are presented in the following sections:
Battery Connections
Your scooter comes supplied with two battery cables. If disconnected,
attach the red wire of the first cable to the (+) terminal of the first battery.
Attach the black wire of the first cable to the (-) terminal of the first
battery. Repeat this procedure for the second battery.
Tire Pressure
NOTE: All Rascal Balance units come equipped with a Foam
Filled Front Tire which do not require inflation.
Check pressure in each rear tire. Tire pressure can be checked at most
service stations. Tire pressure gauges can be purchased at local super
markets, department stores in the automotive section, or at an automotive
parts store.
Maintain the recommended pressure as specified on the tire. If the
pressure is too low, inflate tire with an air pump. If the pressure is too
high, deflate tire by letting some air out of the valve stem. Models
equipped with pneumatic tires have inner tubes that are injected with a
tire sealant that will seal punctures, which may occur when the vehicle is
rolling. In the unusual event your tire does lose air due to a puncture,
rotate the tire at least three times prior to re-inflating tire to
recommended air pressure. If the tire continues to lose air, replace the tire
