DAILY CHECKS
 With the power turned off, check the throttle. Make sure it is not bent or damaged and that it returns to the
neutral position when you release it. Do not try to repair it. See your authorized dealer if there is a problem.
 Visually inspect the tiller cable. Make sure that it is not frayed, cut, or has any wires exposed. See your
authorized dealer if there is a problem.
 Check for fl at spots on solid tires. Flat spots could adversely affect stability.
 Inspect the armrests for loose hardware, stress points, or damage. See your authorized dealer if there is a
problem.
 Check the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least 3 feet (1 meter) of clearance
around your vehicle.
To check the brakes:
1. Turn on the power and turn down the speed level of your vehicle.
2. After one second, check the battery condition meter. Make sure that it remains on.
3. Slowly pull the throttle forward until you hear the electric brakes click. Immediately release the throttle. You
must be able to hear the electrical brake operating within a few seconds of throttle movement. Repeat this test
by pulling the throttle in the opposite direction.
WEEKLY CHECKS
 Inspect the controller and charger connectors for corrosion. Contact your authorized dealer if necessary.
 Check for proper tire infl ation, if equipped with pneumatic tires. If a tire does not hold air, contact your
authorized dealer for replacement of the tube.
MONTHLY CHECKS
 Check that the anti-tip wheels do not rub the ground when you operate the vehicle.
 Check for extreme wear on the anti-tip wheels. Replace them as necessary.
 Check for tire wear. See your authorized dealer for repair.
 Keep you vehicle clean and free of foreign material, such as mud, dirt, hair, food, drink, etc.
YEARLY CHECKS
Take your vehicle to your authorized dealer for yearly maintenance, especially if you use your vehicle on a daily
basis. This helps ensure that your vehicle is functioning properly and helps prevent future complications.
ABS PLASTIC SHROUDS
If your vehicle has a body shroud with a glossy fi nish, the body shroud has been sprayed with a clear sealant
coating. You can apply a light coat of car wax to help it retain its high-gloss appearance. If your vehicle has a body
shroud with a matte fi nish, use ONLY products developed for matte-fi nish paint. Do not use wax, detail spray,
ArmorAll®, or any product made for glossy paint.
WARNING! Carefully choose the correct product to protect the fi nish of your vehicle's shroud(s).
ONLY products developed for matte-fi nish paint should be used on shrouds with a matte fi nish.
Failure to follow this warning may result in damage to the shroud's matte paint fi nish.
AXLE BEARINGS AND THE MOTOR/TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
These items are all prelubricated, sealed, and require no subsequent lubrication.
MOTOR BRUSHES
The motor brushes are housed inside of the motor transaxle/assembly. They should be inspected periodically for
wear by your authorized dealer.
