7. TRANSPORTING SUPERSPORT – When transporting Supersport in a motor vehicle the height can be
reduced by the removal of the seat the removal or lowering of the handlebars. Everything however must be
securely strapped down including the scooter itself and anything removed from it. The user must never travel in a
vehicle seated on Supersport but should transfer to a proper vehicle seat. CARE WARNING – All components are
heavy, seek help if you think you may injure yourself when lifting.
8. PARKING BRAKE RELEASE – The Supersport is fitted with a manual brake release. This is located at the
rear right hand top of the cover, just behind the seat, fig 1.5. There will be no power to drive Supersport when
the brake is in the off position and when switched on the ‘on’ light will come on but will flash indicating a fault
mode. Never release this lever when Supersport is on a slope.
9. SAFETY OVERLOAD SWITCH – The
Supersport is protected electrically and
electronically by 4 overload switches. They are
designed to ‘pop-out’ should an overload or
serious electronic fault occur. Possible examples
that could cause the main overload switches to
activate could be, steep or very long slope or high
kerb causing overloading and overheating or
possible accident damage.
Two of the switches cover the main drive whilst
one covers the lighting circuit and the other the
charging circuit. These are located at the front of
the motor cover in the middle and directly behind
your legs (fig 7.1). Should the main drive
switches become activated for whatever reason
they will cause a complete electrical shutdown and the parking brake will come on (fig 7.2). Switch off, allow a
few minutes and push the button in to reset. If it will not reset, leave a few more minutes and try again. If it
refuses to reset get in touch with your dealer. Never attempt to hold the button in by any other means. If the
lights are not working or the machine will not charge, try the appropriate overload buttons. If they will not reset
follow the instructions above (fig 7.3 and 7.4).

10. TIPS, CAUTIONS, PROBLEMS AND ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Stop Problems Before they Start - If you detect an unusual vibration or noise in the operation of your
Supersport, try to determine the cause. Be sure the power is off before investigating. If you cannot discover the
cause of a problem contact your dealer or TGA for help.
Airline Checking - Sealed Lead Acid Batteries are permitted on most aeroplanes. A sticker on the battery case
states what they are. Airline personnel may insist on removing the battery cover to verity its contents. It is best to
check with the airline before hand. An airline compliance certificate is available from TGA, however it is up to the
discretion of the individual airline regarding the transportation of items on their planes.
Storage - Avoid storing your Supersport in locations with extreme heat or cold. A cool dry location is ideal if
possible. The following steps will help keep rust and corrosion from impairing your scooters function and
appearance. Turn the key to the off position. Clean all exterior surfaces, touch-up any damaged paint. Check and
inflate the tyres to 35 PSI. Be sure the battery is fully charged before prolonged periods of storage and be sure to
recharge every 6 weeks. Failure to comply may result in battery replacement.
