YEARLY CHECKS
Take your Travel Scooter to your authorized provider for yearly maintenance, especially if you use your Travel
Scooter on a daily basis. This helps ensure that your Travel Scooter is functioning properly and helps prevent
future complications.
ABS PLASTIC SHROUDS
The shroud pieces are formed from durable plastic and may be coated with an advanced formula urethane paint.
A light application of car wax will help the shrouds retain their high gloss.
AXLE BEARINGS AND THE MOTOR/TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
These items are all prelubricated, sealed, and require no subsequent lubrication.
CONSOLE, CHARGER AND REAR ELECTRONICS
 Keep these areas free of moisture.
 Allow these areas to dry thoroughly if they have been exposed to moisture before operating your Travel
Scooter again.
NYLON LOCK NUT REPLACEMENT
Any nylon insert lock nut removed during the periodic maintenance, assembly, or disassembly of the Travel
Scooter must be replaced with a new nut. Nylon insert lock nuts should not be reused as it may cause damage to
the nylon insert, resulting in a less secure fi t. Replacement nylon insert lock nuts are available at local hardware
stores or through your authorized Provider.
STORING YOUR TRAVEL SCOOTER
If you plan on not using your Travel Scooter for an extended period of time, it is best to:
 Fully charge its batteries prior to storage.
 Remove the battery pack from the Travel Scooter.
 Store your Travel Scooter in a warm, dry environment.
 Avoid storing your Travel Scooter where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.
 Recommended storage temperature: -40ºF/-40ºC to 149ºF/65ºC.
Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures, or stored
without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life. It is
recommended that you charge the Travel Scooter batteries periodically throughout periods of prolonged storage
to ensure proper performance.
WARNING! Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a frozen
battery. Charging a frozen battery can result in damage to the battery.
For prolonged storage, you may wish to place several boards under the frame of your Travel Scooter to raise it off
of the ground. This takes the weight off the tires and reduces the possibility of fl at spots developing on the areas
of the tires contacting the ground.
DISPOSAL OF YOUR TRAVEL SCOOTER
Your Travel Scooter must be disposed of according to applicable local and national statutory regulations. Contact
your local waste disposal agency or authorized Provider for information on proper disposal of packaging, metal frame
components, plastic components, electronics, batteries, neoprene, silicone, and polyurethane materials.
