If you remove your batteries from your Amigo, put them on a surface that cannot be damaged by acid fumes. Whenever a
battery is charged and discharged through a cycle, it breathes. The breathing of the battery emits acid fumes into the cloth
strap (used to lift the batteries on rear drive models) and may mark surfaces it rests on for long periods of time. Store batteries
indoors in a dry environment, away from any open flames. Temperature range is 0˚C (32˚F) to 40˚C (104˚F).
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Tires
The tires should be cleaned with ordinary kitchen-type cleaners and a damp cloth.

Cover
The cover of the Amigo is constructed of ABS plastic and coated with a durable automotive type finish. Therefore, the cover
can be easily cleaned. Apply water directly on a cloth, wring, and use the dampened cloth with mild soap to remove dirt
and oils. Use same application to rinse off soap residue in order to eliminate any film build-up. You may also use this same
procedure to clean under the cover by fully removing it (see Fig. 10). DO NOT spray the entire vehicle with water. This will
damage the electrical parts. The cover may be waxed with car body wax and buffed by hand with a soft cloth.
Seat
The vinyl seat can be cleaned with a mild soap or detergent and a damp cloth. A vinyl cleaner can also be used.
Cloth seats can be cleaned with a damp cloth or as any upholstery. Care should be taken not to soak cloth seats,
as the interior foam rubber will hold water.
Floor Mat
The floor mat should be cleaned with ordinary kitchen-type cleaners and a damp cloth.
Do not use solvents on the floor mat, as they may cause the floor mat material to break down.
KEEP CLEANING SOLVENTS AWAY FROM ELECTRICAL WIRES AND CONNECTIONS.
MAINTENANCE
Minimum maintenance should prevent unnecessary repairs. You will get years of dependable operation
if you follow the suggested maintenance schedule. Check the following:
Daily
Charge batteries daily when the Amigo is used. Charge the battery until fully charged to ensure
proper battery operation. Extended charging is good for the batteries and will not overcharge them.
Monthly
• Check and clean battery terminals and the wire connections as needed with a light piece of emery cloth or
brush and mixture of ½ cup baking soda to 1–1½ cups water.
• Cleanupholstery,plasticandmetalwithamildsurfacecleaner.
• Inspectbatteriesforanycracksordamageofanykind.
• Checkandtightenanyexposedfasteners.
• Makesureallfastenersaretightonallbatteryconnections.
• Checktirepressureonpneumatictires.Whenairfillingtires,alwaysrefertothemanufacturer’sspecifications
located on the face of the tire. Uneven tire pressure will cause excessive battery consumption and the overheating
of the controller that will lead to failure of the vehicle.
• Check static ground wire located under vehicle. Replace if damaged or missing. Wire must be in contact with floor
when operating the Amigo.
• If rubber boot on arm rest joint is missing, replace immediately.
