MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

BATTERY
The capacity of lithium batteries decreases after several charging and recharging cycles throughout its lifespan. The concept of life cycle exists for lithium batteries (for example, about 300 on a scooter).This means that from 300 COMPLETE cycles of charges and discharges, the battery will begin to lose its capacity (similar to a smartphone battery).
This partial loss of capacity will not prevent the battery from functioning, but will alter its performances and especially its operating life.
The device must be used and its battery recharged at least once a month: a lithium battery will lose its charge even when the product is off. This is why a battery that has not been charged for several weeks or less could lose some of its capacity and become impossible to recharge.
In addition, it is possible to recharge a lithium battery after each use because there is no memory effect.

WARNING: charging the battery must only be done indoors or in a place that is protected from weather (rain, snow, excessive heat…)

In order to better preserve your device’s battery, here are some reminders and instructions for use:

• Do not unplug the charger before the battery is fully charged.
• Store the product containing the battery in a cool place (temperature > 0°C), preferably around 15°C. Be careful, as excessive heat will also damage the battery.
• Avoid deep discharges.
• Avoid recharging the battery right after use. Allow the device to rest for between 15 minutes and 1 hour after use before charging.
• Avoid overcharging. Do not leave the charger plugged in for more than 24 hours, as it will heat up needlessly.
  Notice: We recommend recharging the battery, if not in use, after each use and at least once a month.
  Important: If you are not near a charging point when the battery is down to its last quarter, we recommend switching to eco mode.
  Tip: As you drive, the battery level indicator on the display may suddenly decrease depending on your driving style and conditions (heavy use of the accelerator, riding uphill, outside temperature below 10°C, etc.). Be aware that the actual battery level displayed will be most accurate when the device is turned off.

INSPECTING AND MAINTAINING YOUR DEVICE
Your product requires routine inspection and maintenance.
This chapter describes maintenance and operation steps.
Before performing the following operations, make sure that the power is off and that the charging cable is unplugged.

MAINTENANCE AND SPARE PARTS:
Your device requires regular maintenance for your safety but also to increase its life span. Mechanical components should be checked periodically to ensure that worn or worn-out parts are replaced if necessary.
CAUTION: When replacing components, original parts must be used in order to maintain the performance and reliability of the device. Only the manufacturer’s parts are considered original.

CAUTION: The user is solely responsible for the purchase and use of counterfeit parts, which may result in damage to the product, the user or the environment.
Make sure to use appropriate spare parts for the wheels, drivetrain components and the various components of the braking system. If you have any questions, please contact the after-sales service.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for improper use or incorrect assembly. Before each use, carefully check:

• That the handles are fully tightened.
• That the wheels are functioning properly by lifting the device and running the wheels idle.
• The column, the steering tube, nothing must prevent it from turning. The entire steering system must be correctly adjusted and all connecting elements and screws tightened and in good condition.
• Check the tightness of the screws, the front and rear wheels, shock absorbers, and bonnet, and tighten again if necessary. These adjustments may be needed because of vibrations caused by using the device.
• Tyre wear. Tyre pressure if the unit is equipped with air wheels, and inflate as soon as is necessary using a bicycle pump or similar.
• The brakes, drum linings, brake pads, foot brake, depending on the unit. If the unit is equipped with mechanical brakes (disc, drum, foot), ensure they are not rubbing due to cable tension or exhibiting any other problems, as this may cause the unit to slow down and prevent it from operating normally. Overheating may impact the brake’s efficiency.
• Check that the electric brake is functioning properly if the unit is equipped with one.
  If after adjusting you notice looseness that may affect your ability to drive safely, or if an unusual noise appears, or a lack of fluidity is apparent, stop using the unit and contact your dealer for more information or care. If the product, a component, or the battery are worn out, please contact an authorised service centre to repair or recycle your product.

PERIOD MAINTENANCE AND CHECKS:
