7. INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

7.1 Weekly Checking
Check the following items weekly or before driving. If
you find anything abnormal contact your Drive Medical
Dealer for further inspection or advice.
• Tiller. Ensure it is not loose and can turn smoothly
• Speed control dial. Ensure it adjusts freely.
• Wigwag paddle. Ensure scooter moves when lever
is pressed, and stops when lever released.
• Motor. Check for any abnormal noise and
electromagnetic brakes work correctly.
• Freewheel Lever. Ensure it works correctly.
• Horn. Check the horn sounds when button pressed.
• Seat. Ensure is swivels and locks easily.
• Tyres. Check tyre tread depth and for any signs of
damage such as cracking.
7.2 Service Record
To ensure your scooter is correctly serviced take it to
your Drive Medical dealer for regular service. We
recommend that scooters are serviced at least
annually, and your dealer may charge a fee for this.
A copy of the service record is at the back of this
handbook.
Even if the scooter has not been used, it
should still be serviced annually.
7.3 Battery Pack and Tyres
•
For information on the battery pack, please read
section 6 on Battery Charging and Care.
•
Tyre condition will be affected by how you drive
the scooter and what terrain it is driven on.
•
The Prism comes with solid tyres which are
puncture free, so there is no need to check tyre
pressure.
7.4 Cleaning
•
The scooter should be cleaned periodically,
especially if you tend to drive on sand, gravel or
other adverse environments.
Prism Electric Scooter
•
Use a soft, wrung dry cloth to keep your scooter
clean and dust free. Use a damp cloth and mild
detergent to clean the scooter.
Warning
• Do not use a hose pipe or splash water
directly on to the scooter.
• Do not use petrol, solvents or vaporising
solutions as these many damage body
panels. Do not use wax
• Ensure the charger is unplugged and the
scooter switched off before cleaning the
scooter.
7.5 Storage
•
Ensure the scooter is stored with the seat set in
the forward position, the scooter switched off with
the battery pack removed and charger
disconnected.
Store the scooter in environments which are
free from direct sunlight and water or
moisture.
7.6 Moving About
1. Switch off the scooter using the ignition key and
dismount from the scooter.
2. Lift the scooter by the chassis only.
3. For your safety ask for help if required. You will
need two or more people when moving or lifting
the scooter as a whole.
Never lift the scooter by the bumpers or
body panels, as this can cause injury or
damage.
