Care Instructions
A. Wheel bearings: Avoid going through water, oil or sand as this can damage wheel
bearings.
To look after the wheel bearings, systematically check that the wheels turn properly by
turning the scooter upside-down and using your hand to spin the wheels. If the wheels do
not spin they must then be removed to check their condition. First unscrew the wheel
axle, remove the axle and detach the wheel, then carefully push the two wheel bearings
out of their housing. If they are chipped or dented, new ones should be bought. If there is
no visible damage, they must then be oiled. To do this, remove all traces of grease, mud
or dust with a kitchen towel or cloth, and re-oil them with a grease spray or by leaving
them to soak overnight in oil [turn them several times in the oil first]. Remove and
reassemble the wheel bearings and axles, followed by the wheel, onto the scooter.
Proceed in the same manner for the other wheel.
B. Wheels: The wheels wear down with time and can be pierced if over used on rough
surfaces. The back wheel on which the brake is applied is particularly affected after
several hours of braking. In the interest of safety, both wheels should be checked
regularly and changed if necessary.
C. Modifications: The original product must by no means be modified except for the
maintenance-related changes mentioned in these instructions.
D. Nuts and axles: These should be checked regularly. They can become loose after a
while in which case they should be tightened. They can become worn and not tightened
properly, in which case they should be replaced.
