Starting And Operating
General Operation
Pre-Ride Inspection
Before operating the Vectrix VX-1, check the following
to make sure the scooter is secure and intact:
• Battery
Make sure the battery level indicator display on
the right instrument cluster is indicating a
charged battery. The scooter should be charged if
less than four (4) bars are showing.
• Brakes
Squeeze the brake levers individually while pushing
the scooter to see if it rolls. You should be able
to lock-up the wheels completely by applying
the brakes.
Ensure that there is sufcient brake uid in the
master cylinder reservoir, and that there are no
brake uid leaks.
• Throttle
With the key switch in the OFF position, apply the
throttle and release to verify that the throttle is
smooth and returns correctly.
• Steering
Ensure that the steering movement is smooth and
tight.
• Tires
Check both tires for condition and tread depth.
Check cold tire pressure frequently. Maintain correct
tire pressure as specied on page 5-6. Replace
the tires when the tread height is 2/32" or less.
CAUTION: Under-ination is the most common cause
of tire failure and may result in severe tire cracking,
tread separation, “blowout,” or unexpected loss of
scooter control, causing personal injury and possible
death.
