USER’S MANUAL Service and Maintenance
Regular Service and Maintenance
During normal operation of the vehicle it is possible for hardware to
loosen due to vibration. By regularly servicing and maintaining your
vehicle the reliability, fuel economy and performance will be maximized.
Failure to do so will result in decreased performance, safety, and shorten
the service life of the vehicle. Proper regular service and maintenance
can prevent issues from occuring, reduce the maintenance costs and
keep the vehicle in safe driving condition.
Requirements for Service and Maintenance
The following items should be checked each servicing and prior to riding:
1. Keep the engine clean
and free from debris. The cooling shroud
around the engine should not be blocked off. Verify there is no gas or
oil leakage. When the engine starts check for abnormal noise.
2.
The throttle should turn easily without any binding. Any signs of
binding or issues with the throttle should be addressed prior to riding.
3. Verify both front and rear brakes are engaging and adjusted to the
proper specificaitons. After releasing each brake lever, the brake
system should fully disenage. Any sign of brake issues should be
addressed prior to riding. Lubrication of all cables is recommend
regularly to prolong service life.
4. The front and rear shock absorbers should
be inspected prior to
riding. Always check the front and rear tire for correct air pressure
and inspect the tread. Do not drive the vehicle with low tire pressure
as this can cause the rubber tire to lose its seal and cause injury to
the driver.
5. Verify there are no loose wires visible.
6. Check the oil level prior to riding.
7.
Verify the battery connections are free of corrosion and tightly
secured.
Service and Maintenance in the Run-in Period
During the first 500 miles of driving the new vehicle the speed should not
exceed 35mph. Running at constant or full speed for prolonged periods of
time must be avoided.
It is highly recommended to alternate speeds
during the break in period to help the engine
wear in properly. After the
first 500 mile servicing, the scooter can be driven normally. Proper driving
and servicing during the first 500 miles of the vehicle will lead to higher
performance and longer lasting engine life.
