Troubleshooting; Tips For Scooter Users - TGA MINIMO AUTOFOLD Operating Instructions And Owner's Handbook

Seat Upholstery
You can use a damp cloth and a little soap
to keep your seat looking good. Do not use
abrasive cleaning materials as this will damage
the coating of your seat. Upholstery can also be
damaged by chemicals so do not over apply.
Ultraviolet light can also reduce the life of the
material coating your seat.
Bodywork
You can clean the plastic bodywork of your
scooter by lightly washing it with clean, soapy
water. Car polish can be used to keep the paint
and bodywork in pristine condition. Do not use
abrasive cleaners or strong detergents as this
will fade the colour. Do not pressure wash.
Parking Brake
You can check if the parking brake is functioning
correctly by testing if you can push your scooter
when it is switched off (or switched on with the
speed control throttle in the neutral position
and the parking brake lever in the rear/drive
position). If your scooter can be pushed as
described, the motor brake may be faulty.
WARNING!
If the above is the case, do not use your
scooter and contact TGA or an approved
mobility specialist.
You can also test the motor braking when
driving your scooter. If you let go of the
throttle control lever it should lose speed
very quickly. If you notice a change in the
normal stopping time/distance you should
contact TGA or an approved mobility
specialist.
• DO NOT operate your scooter in
extreme weather conditions, i.e. heavy
rain.
• DO NOT drive through deep water.
This could damage the main electronic
controller, or other electronics.
• DO NOT store your scooter in damp
conditions. This may affect the
electronics if left for long periods of time
• DO NOT hose down or pressure wash
your scooter. Water could be forced into
the electronics
and cause permanent damage.

Troubleshooting

If your scooter does not start, check the
following:
Make sure the 'on' button has been pushed
and the blue light is showing. If it is then the
battery condition indicator will be displayed, if
it is showing empty then recharge batteries.
Check parking brake is released
If the battery condition indicator fails to
operate when the scooter is on, check the
following:
Make sure your battery charger is not plugged
in to the scooter, this will prevent your scooter
driving.
Check parking brake is released
Check the battery pack connection
If your scooter will not charge, check the
following:
Check the lights on your battery charger are
on and that the charger is plugged into a
working wall socket.
Check your battery charger is connected to
your Minimo Autofold charge socket correctly
WARNING!
If you find for any reason your scooter
does not reduce speed when you let go of
the speed control lever, press the power
button to stop. This operation should only
be carried out as an emergency.

and can only legally be used on the road
when either crossing over or because there
are no footpaths.
Class 2 scooters must not be driven on dual
carriageways, motorways, bus lanes or cycle
tracks.
Insurance
There is no legal requirement for insurance,
but TGA advise to have cover for fire and theft,
accidental and malicious damage and third-
party damages. For more information call TGA.
