It is recommended that your dealer carries out a service inspection on your scooter at least once a
year. See inspection record chapter 10. 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.
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.
6.2 Batteries
Consult the following documentation on battery maintenance:
• Current regulations relating to batteries

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.
