Parking
1. Before leaving your scooter, switch the ignition off, the battery indicator will then go off.
Remove the Key for security.
2. If your Minimo Plus has been used in the Free Wheel mode (see Parking Brake Release), it
is VERY IMPORTANT to re-engage the drive to ensure that the scooter brake is on before you
get on.
11. Parking Brake Release
Your Minimo Plus is fitted with a manual parking brake release. This is located on the back
panel to the left of the right hand rear wheel. When the lever is pointing backwards it is set for
normal use. When it is pointing forwards the brake is released which allows your Minimo Plus to
be pushed. There will be no power to drive your Minimo Plus when the brake is in this position,
however when switched on the Power On light will flash to indicate the parking brake is
disengaged. Never release this lever when your Minimo Plus is on a slope. Push lever up to
regain normal drive.
12. Maintaining Your Minimo Plus
We recommend that your Minimo Plus has an annual service and maintenance check by your
Minimo Plus Dealer or TGA. This is very important and can help to avoid breakdowns. The
following are weekly/monthly checks that will keep your Minimo Plus 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.
• Your Minimo Plus 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 your Minimo Plus is being stored or not used.
• Check the electrical cable connectors are fully home and secure.
• Battery Replacement is dependent upon use. When batteries lose power too quickly, it is likely
they are due for replacement.
• Repairs relating to electrical or mechanical components should be performed by your Minimo
Plus dealer or TGA only.
Seat Upholstery
A damp cloth and a little soap will keep your seat, looking good. Do not use abrasive cleaners
as this will damage the coating. Upholstery can be damaged by chemical cleaners. Ultraviolet
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 Minimo Plus 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.
