Inspection - Vermeiren L3-Carpo 3 Mode D'emploi

Switch on the electronics after verifying that the motor is engaged. The load indicator indicates
the level of the batteries. If the battery charge is sufficient for the intended route, you can set
out.
 APPROX. EVERY 8 WEEKS
Depending on the frequency of use, check the following:
1. Dirt under the rear chassis (carefully remove any dirt as it can corrode the plugs).
2. Dirt / corrosion on the poles of the batteries (be careful to keep the poles of the batteries
clean as dirt may damage the batteries).
L
Remove the pole connectors before cleaning the poles of the batteries.
L
Be careful not to put any objects capable of conducting an electric current between the
poles of the batteries.
3. Tighten moving parts that can be removed.
 APPROX. EVERY 6 MONTHS
Depending on the frequency of use check the following:
1. Cleanness
2. General condition
3. Function of the wheels

INSPECTION

In principle we recommend annual inspections, but at least before usage is resumed. The following
checks must at least be performed and documented by authorized persons:
Check the cabling (especially for: crushing, abrasion, cuts, visible insulation of the inner
•
conductor, visible metallic veins, kinks, lumpiness, color changes of the outer sleeve, brittle
spots)
Visual inspection of the frame parts to check for plastic deformation and/or wear and tear
•
(basic frame, seat frame, back frame, side parts, motor suspensions)
Electric leads to be securely placed to avoid shearing, crushing and other mechanical stresses
•
and strains.
Visually check all housings for damage, screws must be securely fixed, seals and gaskets
•
should not exhibit visible damage.
Measure the resistance of the protective braid (O) according to VDE 0702-1
•
Measure the residual diversion current (A) according to VDE 0702-1
•
Measure insulation resistance (MO) according to VDE 0702-1
•
Check functioning of the armrests (locking, load, deformation, wear and tear caused by loads)
•
Check the functioning of the drives (during a test drive  noises, speed, free running, etc.), if
•
necessary: Measure the performance, first with no load and then with the nominal load, to
check for wear and tear of the motors by comparing the values of the electric current with the
values when the scooter was delivered.
Check the condition of the batteries, covers, tubes, and tyres.
•
Checking measurements may only be carried out by skilled persons trained on the scooter and not
unless under the supervision of an electrician acquainted with the checking instruments and
processes. Only an electrician is able to release the scooter for use after performing measurements or
servicing.
The service must only be confirmed in the service plan when at least the above-mentioned aspects
have been checked. If your specialist dealer does not perform the required services, then contact the
manufacturer. We shall gladly refer you to authorized specialist dealers in your area.
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by lacking or improper service.
