Maintenance - TGA Mystere Operating Instructions And Owner's Handbook

12. Maintenance

We recommend that the Mystere has an annual service and maintenance check by your Mystere Dealer or TGA Ltd.
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 to 34 psi. Low tyre pressure will degrade performance so check pressure frequently.
• Check tyres for wear. Replace as soon as there is any sign of excessive wear.
• The Mystere 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 4-6 weeks
if the Mystere is being stored and not used.
• Check the electrical cable connectors are fully home and secure.
• Battery Replacement is dependent upon use, the batteries generally last up to 3 years. When batteries loose 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 Ltd. Installation instructions are included with the replacement
batteries.
• Repairs relating to electrical or mechanical components should be performed by your Mystere dealer only.
Seat Upholstery: A damp cloth and a little soap will keep your seat, and backrest looking good. Do not use
abrasive cleaners as this will damage the coating. Upholstery can be damaged by chemical cleaners. Ultra-violet
light can also reduce the life of the upholstery coating material. This is a normal ageing process and cannot be
guaranteed (see exclusion in the Warranty Terms section).
Bodywork: The bodywork on your Mystere can be lightly washed with clean soapy water. Car polish can be
used to keep the paint and bodywork in pristine condition. Do not use abrasive cleaners or strong detergents as
this will fade the colour.
CAUTION: Do not hose down your Mystere. Water could be forced into the electronics and cause permanent
damage.
DO NOT store your Mystere in damp conditions. This may affect the electronics if left for very long periods of
time.
Electronics: Servicing of the drive electronics and charger should only be carried out by your local TGA service
dealer. These units are sealed and should not be opened. BROKEN SEALS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
DO NOT operate your Mystere in extreme weather conditions i.e. very heavy rain. DO NOT drive through deep
water. This could damage the main electronic controller on the electronics.
Motor Brakes: If the motor brakes are functioning correctly, you will not be able to push your machine when it is
switched off or switched on with the speed control throttle in the neutral position.
If your machine can be pushed when as described above, the motor brake(s) may be faulty. Do not use the
scooter and contact your TGA dealer.
SAFETY NOTE: For your own safety, we recommend that you check the function of your brakes prior to every
journey.
Driving Brake: When you drive your Mystere and let go of the speed control throttle, it should reduce speed very
quickly. If you notice a change in the normal driving/slowing condition and your Mystere does not slow down
quickly please do not use your machine and contact your TGA dealer.
Batteries: Keep your batteries well charged (see Battery Charging section). 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 Mystere 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 (12 months or less in some cases). Other Mystere
users will use their vehicles less frequently, putting their batteries through a less demanding discharge lifestyle. These
batteries will probably have a longer life (12 to 24 months or longer).
When you need to replace the batteries, always insist on the model fitted as standard equipment to your Mystere.
If In doubt, consult with your local TGA authorized dealer.
