Maintenance

Cleaning and Storing Your 6.5″ Sky Walker Self-balancing Scooter

Use a soft, wet cloth to wipe the mainframe clean. Hard to remove dirt can be scrubbed with a toothbrush, then cleaned with a soft, wet cloth.
Scratches on plastic parts can be polished with extra fine grit abrasive paper. Avoid the charging port at all times.
NOTE
Do not wash your 6.5″ Sky Walker self-balancing scooter with alcohol, gasoline, acetone, or other corrosive/volatile solvents. These substances may damage the appearance and internal structure of your 6.5″ Sky Walker. Do not wash your 6.5″ Sky Walker with a power washer or high pressure hose.
WARNING
Make sure the 6.5″ Sky Walker self-balancing scooter is powered OFF, the charging cable is unplugged, and the rubber cap on the charge port is tightly sealed before cleaning; otherwise you may expose yourself to electric shock or damage the electronic components.
Store your 6.5″ Sky Walker self-balancing scooter in a cool, dry place. Do not store it outdoors for extended periods of time. Exposure to sunlight and temperature extremes (both hot and cold) will accelerate the aging process of the plastic components and may reduce battery life.

Battery Pack Maintenance

Do not store or charge the battery at temperatures outside the stated limits (see Specifications). Do not discard or destroy the battery. For more battery information, refer to the sticker on the battery itself, located on the bottom of the Sky Walker.
Refer to your local laws and regulations regarding battery recycling and/or disposal.
A well maintained battery can perform well even after many miles of riding. Charge the battery after each ride and avoid draining the battery completely.
When used at room temperature (70°F [22°C]) the battery range and performance is at its best; whereas using it at temperatures below 32°F (0°C) can decrease range and performance. Typically, at -4 °F (-20°C) range can be half that of the same battery at 70°F (22°C). Battery range will recover when temperature rises.
NOTE
Typically, a fully charged battery should retain charge for 60-90 days in Standby Mode. Remember to charge the battery after each use.
Completely draining the battery may cause permanent damage to the battery. Electronics inside the battery record the charge/ discharge condition of the battery; damage caused by over-discharge or under-discharge will not be covered by the Limited Warranty.
WARNING
Do not attempt to disassemble the battery. Risk of fire. No user serviceable parts.
Do not ride when the ambient temperature is outside the machine operation temperature(see Specifications) because low/high temperature will limit the maximum power/torque. Doing so could cause personal injury or property damage due to slips or falls.
