TGA MAXIMO, Operating Instructions And Owner'S Handbook

*   If your Maximo is to be stored away for some time, make sure the batteries are fully charged before storing. 
Fully charge the batteries before re-using it. 

Batteries carry a limited warranty from the original manufacturer, which is subject to a stringent 

wear and tear clause. Any battery faults due to a defect by the original manufacturer will normally 

become obvious within the first two months. Any gradual deterioration in performance after this 

period is normally associated with fair wear and tear; misuse or accidental damage is not covered by 

the manufacturer’s warranty. 

 
12.  AIRLINE TRAVEL 

 
Due to circumstances out of TGA’s control, it is not possible to board an aeroplane with our 14.5AH Lithium 

batteries, this is the battery supplied as standard on our Minimo Plus scooter.  This is due to an 
instruction/information provided by the Civil Aviation Authority. The Minimo Plus folding scooter comes complete 
with a 14.5AH battery and therefore cannot be transported on aeroplanes.  

We at TGA have recognised this as a potential issue for some of our customers and have introduced a loan battery 
service to help our customers take the Minimo Plus scooter out of the country with them, should the need arise. 
We will supply a loan battery pack containing an 11.5AH Lithium battery, which falls within the 
parameters/tolerances of the Civil Aviation Authorities guidelines. This battery WILL work with the Minimo Plus 

scooter, however it will reduce the overall range of the scooter, whilst the temporary battery is being used. It will 
not affect the scooter in any other way.

13. MAINTENANCE 

 
We recommend that the Maximo has an annual service and maintenance check by your Maximo Dealer or TGA. 

This is very important and can help to avoid breakdowns.  The following are weekly/monthly checks that will keep 
the machine in good running order. 
• Do not apply oil or grease to any components. Sealed bearings and nylon bushes eliminate the need for 

lubrication. 
• Keep all components clean and dry. 

• Keep tyres inflated. Low tyre pressure will degrade performance so it is very important to check pressure 
frequently. 
• Check tyres for wear. Replace as soon as there is any sign of excessive wear. 

• The Maximo uses maintenance free batteries, they are leak-proof regardless of position. Charging the battery is 
the only maintenance required (refer to charging instructions). DO NOT leave the batteries flat, charge every 4-6 

weeks if the Maximo is being stored and not used. 
• Check the electrical cable connectors are fully home and secure. 
• Battery Replacement is dependent upon use, when batteries lose power too quickly, it is likely they are due for 

replacement. If there is no dealer in your area, you may want to change the batteries yourself. Order batteries 
direct from TGA Ltd. Installation instructions are included with the replacement batteries.  If required TGA can 

come out and fit batteries for you. 
• Repairs relating to electrical or mechanical components should be performed by your Maximo dealer only. 

Seat Upholstery: A damp cloth and a little soap will keep your seat, and backrest looking good. Do not use 
abrasive cleaners as this will damage the coating. Upholstery can be damaged by chemical cleaners. This is a 

normal ageing process and cannot be guaranteed (see exclusion in the Warranty Terms section). 

Bodywork

: 

The bodywork on your Maximo can be lightly washed with clean soapy water. Car polish can be used 

to keep the paint and bodywork in pristine condition. Do not use abrasive cleaners or strong detergents as this will 
fade the colour. 

 
CAUTION: Do not hose down your Maximo. Water could be forced into the electronics and cause
