12. Cleaning and Maintenance
a) General Information
Before cleaning or servicing, turn the speed controller off and completely disconnect the drive battery from the speed
controller. 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.
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.
Never wash the vehicle with water, e.g. using a high-pressure cleaner. This will destroy the engine, speed controller
and receiver. The vehicle must not become damp or wet!

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 fastened 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 nut, 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.
