It is recommended that your dealer carries out a service on your scooter at least once a year. If the scooter is used intensively,
the service should be carried out every six months.
In principle, we recommend that you allow your dealer to carry out all required maintenance on your scooter. The maintenance
that you will be able to carry out yourself is indicated in the above table.
Warning
If you should fi nd traces of oil underneath your scooter, you should immediately notify your dealer of this. In such cases do not
drive your scooter.
5.2 Batteries
Consult the following documentation on battery maintenance:
Current regulations relating to batteries
The user manual for the battery charger or the instructions on the battery charger (& Battery charger)
The scooter is equipped with gel batteries. These batteries are fully encased and sealed and require no maintenance. A sticker
indicates how the batteries are to be connected. This sticker is located on the inside of the battery compartment cover.
Warning!
Ensure that the batteries are always well charged.
Do not use the scooter if the batteries are almost fl at. Doing so may damage the batteries and means you run the risk of coming
to an unexpected standstill.
Ensure that the batteries are never completely fl at. This can seriously damage the batteries and shorten their lifespan.
The use of 'wet' batteries is not permitted. If the batteries need to be replaced, then gel batteries must be used.
Replacing the batteries
If battery capacity is so low that the scooter can only make short trips, or can not be driven at all, then the batteries have reached
the end of their lifespan. Replace the batteries as soon as possible.
Warning!
Contact your dealer: your dealer will know exactly which batteries are most suitable for your scooter and how to replace the
batteries.
Once the new batteries have been put in place they will need to be charged and 'run in' See user manual 'Charging the batteries'.
See user manual 'Used scooters and the environment' for the correct way to dispose of batteries.
Cleaning the batteries
Gel batteries are maintenance-free. However, attention may be paid to the following matters:
Ensure that the batteries remain clean and dry: dirt and water can cause leaks, as a result of which battery capacity can be
reduced.
Clean the battery terminals and then grease them using acid-free Vaseline.
