SECTION 4—SAFETY INSPECTION
NOTE: Every six months take your powered scooter to a qualified technician for a thorough
inspection and servicing. Regular cleaning will reveal loose or worn parts and enhance the smooth
operation of your powered scooter. To operate properly and safely, your powered scooter must be
cared for just like any other vehicle. Routine maintenance will extend the life and efficiency of your
powered scooter.
Before performing any maintenance, adjustment or service, turn power Off and
remove key from ignition.
As with any vehicle, the wheels and tires should be checked periodically for cracks
and wear, and should be replaced.

Safety Inspection Checklists

Initial adjustments should be made to suit your personal body structure needs and
preference. Thereafter follow these maintenance procedures:
Inspect/Adjust Initially
❑ Ensure powered scooter drives straight (no excessive drag or pull to one side).
❑ Check frame for damage and corrosion.
❑ Ensure that the brake release lever is easy to engage/disengage.
❑ Ensure that tiller adjustment mechanism engages and disengages properly and
securely.
❑ Ensure that the scooter stops completely when throttle is released (i.e., does not
continue to roll as if the throttle is activated).
❑ Clean upholstery and armrests.
❑ Ensure armrest pad sits flush against arm tube.
❑ Inspect the seat upholstery for rips and tears.
❑ Inspect seat swivel for release and engagement (seat locks into the determined swivel
positions).
❑ Inspect for excessive side movement or binding when the drive wheels are raised or
turned.
❑ Inspect front wheel/fork assembly for proper tension by spinning the wheel. The front
wheel should come to a gradual stop.
