It is recommended to have your
scooter serviced by your dealer once a
year or, in case of intensive use, every
six months. The table below shows the
maintenance activities you can
perform yourself.

Weekly Check tyre pressure
and inflate the tyres if
necessary, see 4.3
Monthly Clean the scooter, see

once a month), see 4.2
Every three
months
Lubricate the turning
system of the seat.
4.2 Batteries
The scooter has ‘dry’ gel batteries.
These dry batteries are entirely closed
and maintenance free.
The use of ‘wet’ batteries is not
permitted.
Charging the batteries
Consult the owner’s manual of the
battery charger.
In case of normal use the batteries
should be charged every night.
1. Switch off the scooter.
2. Put the plug of the charge cord in
the charge connection, see chapter
2.2.
3. Put the plug of the battery charger
in the wall outlet of the electricity
mains.
When the batteries have been
charged:
1. Remove the plug from the charge
connection.
2. Remove the plug of the battery
charger from the wall outlet of the
electricity mains.
• As soon as the plug of the
charge cord is connected to the
charge connection, the
operation of the scooter is
switched off.
• Always remove the charge cord
when the batteries have been
charged. This way, you will
prevent slow depletion of the
batteries.
Maintenance of the batteries
Refer to the battery instructions.
• Make sure that the batteries are
always well charged.
• Do not use the scooter if the
batteries are almost depleted
and never completely deplete
the batteries. This can seriously
damage the batteries and you
run the risk to come to an
unintended standstill.
Cleaning the batteries
Keep the batteries clean and dry. Dirt
and water can cause a leak, reducing
the capacity of the batteries. After
cleaning grease the poles with acid-
free vaseline.
