Rascal R600 Scooter Owner's Manual
Your scooter comes supplied with two battery cables. If disconnected,
attach the red wire of the first cable to the (+) terminal of the first
battery. Attach the black wire of the first cable to the (-) terminal of the
first battery. Repeat this procedure for the second battery.
WARNING!
Check pressure in each tire. Tire pressure can be checked at most
service stations. Tire pressure gauges can be purchased at local super
markets, department stores in the automotive section, or at an
automotive parts store.
Maintain the recommended pressure as specified on the tire. If the
pressure is too low, inflate tire with an air pump. If the pressure is too
high, deflate tire by letting some air out of the valve stem. Models
equipped with pneumatic tires have inner tubes that are injected with a
tire sealant that will seal punctures, which may occur when the vehicle is
rolling. In the unusual event your tire does lose air due to a puncture,
rotate the tire at least three times prior to re-inflating tire to
recommended air pressure. If the tire continues to lose air, replace the
tire and sealant-injected inner tube. Replacement tires and inner tubes
with sealant are available from Electric Mobility's Customer Service
Department or your authorized service center.
Remove the center hardware holding wheel onto axle. Pull wheel off
axle, if snug, tap on tire with a rubber mallet while pulling on wheel (spin
the wheel while tapping). Remove separate key. Retain key for later re-
assembly.
