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?

Warning! 

Never disconnect a battery / charger 

while the charger is connected to the mains.

Warning!

 If one or both batteries are damaged 

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

Note: 

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.
