EXTERIOR SURFACES
Bumpers, tires and trim can benefi t from an occasional application of a rubber or vinyl conditioner.
WARNING! Do not use a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the scooter's vinyl seat or tire tread, as
this may cause them to become dangerously slippery.
CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
 Use a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleanser to clean the plastic and metal parts of your scooter. Avoid
using products that may scratch the surface of your scooter.
 If necessary, clean your product with an approved disinfectant. Make sure the disinfectant is safe for use on
your product before application.
WARNING! Follow all safety instructions for the proper use of the disinfectant and/or cleaning
agent before applying it to your product. Failure to comply may result in skin irritation or
premature deterioration of upholstery and/or scooter fi nishes.
BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS
 Make certain that the terminal connections remain tight and uncorroded.
 The batteries must sit fl at in the battery wells.
 The battery terminals should face towards the outside of the scooter.
WIRING HARNESSES
 Regularly check all wiring connections.
 Regularly check all wiring insulation, including the charger power cord, for wear or damage.
 Have your authorized Dealer repair or replace any damaged connector, connection, or insulation that you fi nd
before using your scooter again.
PROHIBITED! Even though the scooter has passed the necessary testing requirements for
ingress of liquids, you should keep electrical connections away from sources of dampness,
including direct exposure to water or bodily fl uids and incontinence. Check electrical components
frequently for signs of corrosion and replace as necessary.
WARNING! Do not pull on electrical harnesses directly to detach them from the scooter. Always
grasp the connector itself when disconnecting the harness to prevent wire damage.
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 scooter.
