Parking Brake Release; Maintenance - TGA MINIMO AUTOFOLD Operating Instructions And Owner's Handbook

may increase as batteries get older. During
periods without use it is necessary to charge the
batteries every 4 weeks.
WARNING!
• DO NOT smoke or use a naked flame
while your batteries are being charged.
• DO NOT use the charger if it has
received a sharp blow, been dropped or
otherwise misused in any way.
• DO NOT dismantle your charger.
• DO NOT leave your charger plugged
into your scooter with your charger
switched off as this may discharge your
batteries.
• For a complete charge – do not switch
off, unplug or interrupt the recharge
cycle until it has completed.
WARNING!
All TGA lithium battery packs contain a
temperature sensor. When this sensor
records a temperature of 10°C or lower,
the internal circuit board will stop the
battery charger from working in order
to protect the battery cells. Once the
battery pack reaches a temperature of
approximately 20°C it will then allow
the charger to start working again. This
is only relevant if the pack drops below
10°C, so long as the battery pack is
stored and remains above 10°C then the
charger should work as normal; standard
room temperature is sufficient.

Parking brake release

Your scooter is fitted with a manual parking
brake release. This is located at the rear of
your scooter just above the right-hand rear
wheel. The back position is normal use, pushed
forwards releases the brake and allows your
scooter to be pushed, (free wheel mode).
There will be no power to drive when the brake
is in this position, however when switched on
the battery condition indicator lights will flash
indicating a fault mode.
WARNING!
Never operate the manual parking brake
release lever when your scooter is on a
slope.
WARNING!
Never sit on your scooter with the
parking brake released. The scooter
will have no effective braking system
when in free wheel and must only
be used to manoeuvre the product
unoccupied.

Maintenance

We recommend that your scooter has an
annual service and maintenance check
by either TGA or an approved mobility
specialist. There are, however, a few tips you
can follow yourself to keep your scooter in
good condition.
Keep all components clean and dry.
Keep your tyres inflated according to the
technical specification. Low tyre pressure
will degrade your scooter's performance,
so it is very important that you check them
frequently.
Check your tyres for wear and replace
them as soon as there is any sign of
excessive wear.
Your scooter uses lithium maintenance free
batteries which are leak-proof regardless of
their position, so charging the battery is the
only maintenance required. DO NOT leave
the batteries flat though, charge them
every
4 weeks if your scooter is being stored or
not in use.
Check any accessible electrical cable
connectors are fully home and secure.
Battery replacement is dependent upon
use. When your batteries lose power too
quickly, it is likely they need replacing. If
you want to change the batteries inside
the battery pack yourself, installation
instructions are included with the
replacement batteries from TGA.
Make sure all repairs relating to electrical
or mechanical components are carried out
by TGA or an approved mobility specialist
only.
Do not apply oil or grease to any
components. Sealed bearings and nylon
bushes eliminate the need for lubrication.
