BRAKE PADS
The brake pads on your scooter should be inspected periodically for wear. Once the pads reach 2 mm or 1/16-th of an
inch in thickness, they should be replaced. If any of the brake pads needs to be replaced, then it is best to replace all the
brake pads at the same time. Contact your authorized Provider for more information on replacing the brake pads.
FUSE REPLACEMENT
In the event a fuse should cease to work:
1. Remove the fuse by pulling it out of its slot.
2. Examine the fuse to be sure it is blown. See fi gure 29.
3. Insert a new fuse of the same rating.
WARNING! The replacement fuse must exactly
match the rating of the fuse being replaced.
Failure to use properly rated fuses may cause
damage to the electrical system.
NYLON LOCK NUT REPLACEMENT
Any nylon insert lock nut removed during the periodic
maintenance, assembly, or disassembly of the scooter must be
replaced with a new nut. Nylon insert lock nuts should not be
reused as it may cause damage to the nylon insert, resulting in a
less secure fi t. Replacement nylon insert lock nuts are available
at local hardware stores or through your authorized Provider.
STORING YOUR SCOOTER
If you plan on not using your scooter for an extended period of time, it is best to:
 Fully charge its batteries prior to storage.
 Disconnect the batteries from the scooter.
 Store your scooter in a warm, dry environment.
 Avoid storing your scooter where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.
 Recommended storage temperature: -40ºF/-40ºC to 149ºF/65ºC.
WARNING! Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a frozen
battery. Charging a frozen battery can result in damage to the battery.
Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures, or stored
without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life. It is
recommended that you charge the scooter batteries periodically throughout periods of prolonged storage to ensure
proper performance.
You may wish to place several boards under the frame of your scooter to raise it off of the ground during periods
of prolonged storage. This takes the weight off the tires and reduces the possibility of fl at spots developing on the
areas of the tires contacting the ground.
DISPOSAL OF YOUR SCOOTER
Your scooter must be disposed of according to applicable local and national statutory regulations. Contact your local
waste disposal agency or authorized Provider for information on proper disposal of packaging, metal frame components,
plastic components, electronics, batteries, neoprene, silicone, and polyurethane materials.
