X. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

The Golden Companion is virtually maintenance free. All of the bearings on your Golden Companion are permanently lubricated and sealed. No additional lubrication is required. There are, however, several things that you can do to help keep up the appearance and maintain the performance of your scooter.

CLEANING YOUR COMPANION

Tires

•Clean the tires with ordinary kitchen-type cleaners and a damp cloth.

•Do not use solvents on the tires. Solvents can cause the tire material to break down or become too soft.

Body

•The body (rear shroud, tiller shroud, deck shroud) of your Golden Companion is formed ABS plastic and coated with a durable automotive-type finish.

•Use cool water mixed with a mild soap to remove dirt and oils.

•Use a nonabrasive car wax on the ABS body parts.

•Buff by hand with a soft cloth.

Seats

Vinyl Seat:

•Clean with a mild soap or mild detergent and a damp cloth.

•A vinyl cleaner may also be used.

Cloth Seat

Clean with a damp cloth.

•You may also use an upholstery cleaner.

•Make certain that you do not soak the cloth seats. The foam rubber will hold water.

Deck Carpet

•Wash in a heavy-duty clothes washer.

•Or, spray clean with an automotive-type wand after the carpet has been removed from the scooter.

•The deck carpet snaps into place on the scooter floor. Simply pull up on the carpet to remove it.
