12. Cleaning and Maintenance
a) General Information
Before cleaning or servicing, turn off the vehicle and remove the rechargeable batteries from the vehicle. If you have
driventhevehiclebefore,letallparts(e.g.motor,speedcontroller,etc.)cooldowncompletelyrst.
Clean the whole vehicle of dust and dirt after driving, e.g. with a long-haired clean brush and a vacuum cleaner.
Compressed air aerosols can also be helpful.
Never wash the vehicle with water, e.g. using a high-pressure cleaner. This will destroy the vehicle.
Do not use cleaning aerosols or conventional household cleaners. This may damage the electronics and
lead to discolouration of the plastic parts or the body.

used anymore and has to be taken out of operation.
Only original spare parts must be used to replace worn vehicle parts (e.g. tyres) or defective vehicle parts
(e.g. a broken transverse link).
c) Wheel Change
The tyres are glued to the wheel rim to prevent them from coming loose. When the tyre is worn down, the entire wheel
has to be replaced therefore.
After loosening of the wheel bolt, the wheel may be removed from the wheel axle.
Then the new wheel is plugged on so that the hexagon socket on the wheel rim's inside is pushed onto the wheel
tappet nut precisely.
