Maintenance - TGA BREEZE S Operating Instructions And Owner's Handbook

• Your Breeze is fitted with 'AGM' sealed
maintenance free batteries especially
designed for powered mobility. They do
not require topping up and will not leak out
even if batteries are inverted.
• Keep batteries clean and in a dry frost-
proof place. Keep battery terminals tight.
• IMPORTANT: It is not possible to predict
the life expectancy of your batteries. This is
mainly due to different workloads a battery
can be subjected to.
• Some Breeze users will use their scooter
every day and for long periods of time. Their
batteries will receive a near total and regular
discharge and the life of their batteries will
be short (possibly only 12 months or less).
If you are a heavy user, you will benefit by
requesting 'Gel' batteries to be fitted. To
gain the best results from gel batteries, they
must be cycled for their first 10-15 charges.
This means run them down as much as you
safely can in use and then give them a full
charge. They will not work at their best until
this process has been carried out. This is
NOT required for the AGM batteries fitted
as standard.
• Other Breeze users will use their vehicles
less frequently, putting their batteries
through a less demanding discharge cycle.
With regular charging, these batteries will
usually have a longer life (up to 36 months).
• When you need to replace the batteries,
always insist on the model fitted as standard
equipment to your Breeze. If In doubt,
consult with your local TGA authorized
dealer.
Batteries carry a limited 12-month warranty
from the original manufacturer, which is
subject to a stringent wear and tear clause.
Any battery faults due to a defect by the
original manufacturer will normally become
obvious within the first two months. Any
gradual deterioration in performance after
this period is normally associated with fair
wear and tear; misuse, incorrect charging
cycle or accidental damage , and is not
covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
WARNING!
• Do not dismantle the charger. This
voids the warranty.
• Do not leave the charger plugged
into your Breeze with the charger
switched off as this may discharge
your batteries.
• For a full charge, do not switch off,
unplug or interrupt the recharge cycle
until the charging cycle is complete.

Maintenance

It is important that your Breeze has an
annual service and maintenance check by
your Breeze dealer or TGA. The following
are weekly/monthly checks that will keep the
machine in good running order:
• Do not apply oil or grease to any
components. Sealed bearings and nylon
bushes eliminate the need for lubrication.
• Keep all components clean and dry.
• Keep tyres inflated according to technical
specification. Low tyre pressure will degrade
performance so it is very important to check
pressure frequently.
• Check tyres for wear. Replace tyres as soon
as there is any sign of excessive wear.
• The Breeze uses maintenance-free
batteries. They are leak-proof regardless of
position. Charging the battery is the only
maintenance required (refer to charging
instructions). DO NOT leave the batteries
flat, charge every 4 weeks if the Breeze is
being stored and not used.
• Battery replacement is dependent
upon use. When batteries lose power
too quickly, it is likely they are due for
replacement. If there is no dealer in your
area, you may want to change the batteries
yourself. Order batteries direct from TGA.
Installation instructions are included with the
replacement batteries.
• When replacing or checking batteries,
check the electrical cable connectors are
fully home and secure.
