To check the brakes:
1. Turn on the power and turn down the speed level of your scooter.
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 scooter.
 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 scooter clean and free of foriegn material, such as mud, dirt, hair, food, drink, etc.
YEARLY CHECKS
Take your scooter to your authorized dealer for yearly maintenance, especially if you use your scooter on a daily
basis. This helps ensure that your scooter is functioning properly and helps prevent future complications.
ABS PLASTIC SHROUDS
If your scooter 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 scooter 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 scooter'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.
CONSOLE, CHARGER AND REAR ELECTRONICS
 Keep these areas free of moisture.
 Allow these areas to dry thoroughly if they have been exposed to moisture before operating your scooter
again.
