Battery Charging
User Maintenance
It is important for safety that you carry out the
following checks before use.
1. Visually check the machine for damage.
2. Visually check the tyres for damage.
3. Check the steering moves freely.
4. Check that the tiller is secure and that the
tiller thumb-wheel is tight.
5. Check that the front and rear chassis halves
are properly attached to each other.
6. Check that the seat is located correctly.
7. Check the armrests are secure.
8. The battery should be fully charged.
9. Keep your vehicle clean by using a damp
cloth and soapy water
– never use a hose.
Important – Possible faults:
As you get used to
your vehicle you will get a feel for how it behaves.
If something feels unusual, for instance the vehicle
does not accelerate or brake smoothly; the brakes
are not holding on a slope or the steering feels dif-
ferent, stop using the scooter, contact your dealer
immediately and explain to the engineer exactly
what the problem is.
Disposal
: Contact your dealer for advice before
you consider disposing of your scooter. They will be
aware of the environmental regulations in force at
the time and will assist you to meet the applicable
environmental legislation.
Servicing and
Maintenance
1. This vehicle is designed for minimum
maintenance.
However it is recommended that
your vehicle is serviced at least once a year, by
an approved Electric Mobility Dealer. If the vehicle
is used constantly we recommend a twice yearly
maintenance.
2. Ensure the engineer stamps the Service Log
(page 29)
on completion of all servicing. Keep all
receipts for servicing and repairs with this hand-
book. This may add value when selling the vehicle.
3. When the vehicle is due for its annual
service make sure you report any concerns
you have,
preferably when you book the service
(See points to look out for below).
4. On completion of the service, always test
the vehicle
before the engineer leaves and make
sure you are satisfied with the work carried out.
Points to look out for:
• Are there any strange noises from the wheels or
does the frame creak when going over rough ground?
• Is the battery charged up correctly – is the “full”
charge green light on after charging?
• Is the steering tight or is it loose when turning? Is
there any play in the steering?
• Are the brakes effective ?
• Is there any damage to spigots or parts related to
disassembly ?
• Has anything come loose?
• Does the vehicle perform as well as it did when it
was new?
• Are there noises or rattles that were not there before?
• Are there any signs of damage, corrosion or
cracking?

they could heat up when charging and, in an
extreme case, explode.

Your battery pack/s is/are not user-
serviceable. Your dealer will replace them when
they are exhausted and dispose of them in line with
environmental regulations applicable at the time.
