Trouble Shooting; Tips For Scooter Users - TGA Zest Operating Instructions And Owner's Handbook

Care! Warning if this is the case do not use your scooter and contact TGA or an approved mobility
specialist. You can also test this when driving your scooter, if you let go of the speed control lever
it should lose speed very quickly. If you notice a change in the normal stopping time/distance you
should also contact TGA or an approved mobility specialist.
DO NOT operate your scooter in extreme weather conditions i.e. very heavy rain.
DO NOT drive through deep water. This could damage the main electronic controller, or other
electronics.
DO NOT store your scooter in damp conditions. This may affect the electronics if left for very long
periods of time
DO NOT hose down your scooter. Water could be forced into the electronics and cause
permanent damage.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

If your scooter will not start, check the following:
Make sure that the key is in the 'on' position, if it is then the battery condition indicator will be
displayed, if it is showing empty then recharge batteries.
Check parking brake is released
If the battery condition indicator fails to operate when the key is in the 'on' position, check the
following:
Make sure your battery charger is not plugged in to the wall outlet, this will prevent your scooter
driving.
Check parking brake is released
Check the battery pack connection
If your scooter will not charge, check the following:
Check the lights on your battery charger are on and that the charger is plugged into a working wall
socket.
Check your battery charger is connected to your charge socket correctly
Care! Warning if you find for any reason your scooter does not reduce speed when you let go of
the speed control lever, use the manual brake on the handlebars. If this fails to stop you, switch
your scooter off with the key. The parking brake will activate immediately and stop your scooter.
Beware the machine will stop very suddenly so brace yourself with the handlebars and sit back on
your seat.
This operation should only be carried out as an emergency, continual use of this procedure will
damage the drive transmission and motor brake.

TIPS FOR SCOOTER USERS

Scooters fall into two categories, Class 2 which is essentially a 4mph pavement scooter and can
only legally be used on the road when either crossing over or because there are no footpaths. A
Class 3 scooter is capable of 4 & 8 mph and provided it is fitted with front and rear lights, flashing
indicators, horn and rear view mirror it is legal for use on the road. It can also be used on the
footpaths but must not exceed 4 mph. Class 2 & 3 vehicles must not be driven on Dual
