7. INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
7.1 INSPECTION • Clean the scooter with a damp cloth and dust down approximately once a week to preserve the appearance of the scooter. • Adjust the tiller height and return to the original position and swivel the seat once a week to ensure the parts adjust and remove smoothly and easily when required. • Check for signs of wear and tear on the tires and the upholstery on a regular basis. • For optimum performance and to increase the lifespan of your scooter, it is recommended that you have your scooter serviced once a year. 7.2 REGULAR CHECKING RECORD To make sure your scooter is correctly serviced, take it to your dealer for regular maintenance checks. This should be at six months intervals after an initial inspection after one month. Your dealer may charge a fee for this. The checking record is shown overleaf.
