MAINTENANCE
Tires
It is good practice to keep your tires inflated properly (30psi) at all times. Failure to do so
will result in excessive load on batteries, poor driving performance and may cause damage
or injury.
General Maintenance and Lubrication
Inspection for loose wheel bolts, tiller base bolts, seat tightening bolt, and other nuts
and bolts is recommended on a regular basis.
Most lubricated components on the Shoprider® Flagship ™ scooter are designed to be
maintenance free and are sealed. Therefore lubrication is not required for these
components. However, the driving axles and seat post should always have a very light coat
of multipurpose grease.
DO NOT USE TOO MUCH GREASE!
It is recommended that the driving axles (inside the drive wheel assembly) be checked
and cleaned periodically for hair and debris build-up, which may hinder the performance of
the unit.
Check the batteries on a regular basis. For extended battery life, it is highly
recommended that the batteries be fully charged after each use. If the batteries are weak,
severely discharged or old, a variety of problems may occur with the unit including charging
problems, reduced speed, loss of range, and others. Please contact your local Shoprider®
provider for battery replacement.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Circuit Breaker
Your scooter is fitted with the latest in electronic controls that are programmed to protect
the electrical system from abnormal overloads. Provided for extra protection is a circuit
breaker toggle switch, located under the seat. Should there be a situation where your
scooter stops for no apparent reason, please check that the circuit breaker has not tripped.
Check List
If your scooter fails to operate, please check the following:
Unit is switched on.
Drive/Freewheel mechanism is in the drive position (pushed down).
All plugs and connectors are clean and firmly connected.
Battery level shows full charge.
Battery fuses are not blown.
If the free wheel device has been operated with the scooter switched on, then the scooter
will not operate until the ignition key has been switched off and then on again.
Please consult your dealer if your scooter does not run after checking these points.
