ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Your scooter requires a minimal amount of care and maintenance. If you do not feel confident in
your ability to perform the maintenance listed below, you can schedule an inspection and
maintenance with your provider.
 Make sure your batteries are fully charged daily. See "Battery Charging".
 Regularly inspect your scooter's tires for signs of wear.
 Regularly inspect all exposed harnessing and connections for wear, damage, and
corrosion. Have your provider repair or replace any damaged harness or connector.
 Periodically check all fasteners for tightness, wear, and corrosion. If any of these are
present, turn off the scooter and contact your provider.
 Keep all the electrical components (charger, console panel, and electronics) free from
moisture. If any of these items do become exposed to moisture, let them dry thoroughly before
attempting to operate your scooter again.
 All bearings are permanently lubricated and sealed. No additional lubrication is required.

necessary.
