VIII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your scooter, like any motorized vehicle requires a routine maintenance check. Preventative
maintenance is very important. You can perform some of these regular checks by yourself. If you follow
the maintenance checks in this section as scheduled, you can help ensure that your scooter gives you
years of trouble-free operation.
MOISTURE
You should avoid positioning your scooter in damp areas of any kind. Direct exposure to water or
dampness could cause your scooter to malfunction electronically and mechanically. Moisture can cause
electrical components to corrode and the scooter’s frame to rust.
Should your scooter come in contact with water:
• Dry your scooter as thoroughly as possible with a towel
• Make safety checks of all of the operations before using your scooter
• If any inconsistencies are found, contact an authorized Zip’r Mobility provider
TEMPERATURE
• In extreme cold temperature, the batteries may freeze. The temperature at which they may freeze
depends on a number of factors, such as battery charge, usage and composition of batteries
(e.g. AGM or Gel-cell).
• Temperatures above 100 degrees may cause your scooter to operate at a reduced speed. This
reduced speed is a safety feature built into the controls that helps prevent damage to the motor and
other electrical components.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
• Avoid knocking or bumping the console and console components.
• Keep the tiller console clean.
• Check all connectors to ensure that they are tight and secured properly.
• Check all electrical connectors including the charger’s connectors. Make sure they are all tight and are
not corroded. Batteries must sit flat and flush in the battery case.
• A yellow light turns on that indicates a half capacity of the battery has been consumed, and they need
to be charged, but the scooter can be used, but the battery is close to full discharge.
• When the red light is on, that indicates that the batteries have been fully discharged, and they need to
be charged immediately.
• You can apply a light coat of car wax to help it retain the scooter’s high gloss appearance.
• All wheel bearings are pre-lubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication.
CAUTION!
If you do not use the scooter for a long period, its recommended that you block up your scooter so that
the tires do not touch
the ground. This pr
events flat spots from forming on the tire.
