11. Cleaning and maintenance
a) General information
Before cleaning or maintenance, the speed controller must be turned off and the drive battery must be completely
disconnected from the speed controller. Allow all parts to cool down completely (e.g. engine and speed controller).
Afteryouhavenishedusingthevehicle,removealldustanddirt(e.g.usingacleanlong-hairedbrushandavacuum
cleaner). Compressed air aerosols can also help to remove dirt.
Donotusecleaningspraysorconventionalhouseholdcleaningchemicals.Thesemaydamagetheelectroniccompo-

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe the chassis. Do not rub too hard, as this may result in scratch marks.

• Check that all cables are attached (they should not touch moving parts of the vehicle)
Check the vehicle for any signs of damage before and after each use. If there are any signs of damage,
discontinue use immediately.
Only use genuine spare parts when replacing worn vehicle parts (e.g. tyres) or defective vehicle parts (e.g.
a broken suspension arm).
