SCOOTER MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
Your power scooter is designed for minimal maintenance. However, like any motorized vehicle it requires
rou6ne maintenance. To keep your Vita Scooter for years of trouble-free opera6on, we recommend you
follow the following maintenance checks as scheduled.
DAILY CHECKS
1. Visual check on the condi6ons of 6res. 2. Inspect the ba=ery condi6on meter on the controller to
determine if ba=eries need to be charged.
WEEKLY CHECKS
1. Your power scooter comes with standard pneuma6c 6res. If your power scooter comes with op6onal air
6res, make sure to maintain the pressure of the 6res between 30-35 psi.
MONTHLY CHECKS
1. Visually inspect the controller harnesses. Make sure that they are not frayed, cut or have any exposed wires.
SEMI-ANNUAL CHECKS
1. Check the motor brushes. We recommended that your authorized dealer inspect the brushes every six
months or sooner if your power scooter is not opera6ng smoothly. If inspec6on determines excessive wear
on the brushes, they must be replaced or motor damage will result.
Warning! Failure to maintain the brushes could void the power scooter warranty.
To inspect or replace the motor brushes:
1. Unscrew the motor brush caps.
2. Remove the brushes.
3. Inspect the brushes for wear.
4. Replace the brushes if necessary.

the connections are tight. Periodically apply a thin film of petroleum jelly on the surface of terminals
to guard against corrosion.
