Maintenance and Servicing
This section presents information to keep your scooter in peak operating condition, including:
• Preventative Maintenance
• Troubleshooting
• Factory Return Procedures
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 effect safe use and operation of
the vehicle. Maintenance topics are presented in the following. For convenience, a Preventative
Maintenance Checklist is also included as an aid in performing and recording maintenance of your
Rascal scooter.
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.
WARNING!
Always make sure the battery tie down straps are connected and tight
before standing vehicle upright onto the rear bumper.
Tire Pressure
Check pressure in each 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 and sealant-injected inner tube. Replacement tires and inner tubes
with sealant are available from Electric Mobility’s Customer Service
Department or your authorized service center.
Rear Wheel Removal
Remove the center hardware holding wheel onto axle. Pull wheel off
axle, if snug, tap on tire with a rubber mallet while pulling on wheel (spin
the wheel while tapping). Remove separate key. Retain key for later re-
assembly.
