17. Daily maintenance and care
Cleaning and storage
• If there are stains on the scooter body, wipe them off with a damp cloth. If stains
persist, put toothpaste on them, brush with a toothbrush, then wipe with a damp cloth. If
there are scratches on the plastic components, use sandpaper or other abrasive material
to remove them. Notes: Do not clean the scooter with alcohol, gasoline, kerosene or
other corrosive and volatile chemical solvents to avoid serious damage. Do not wash
the scooter with high-pressure water jets. When cleaning, make sure the scooter is
turned off, the charging cable disconnected and the rubber cap closed as a water leak
could cause an electric shock or other serious problems. When the scooter is not in use,
store it indoors in a cool, dry place. Do not store it outdoors for an extended period of
time. Excessive sunlight, overheating and excessive cold accelerate tyre ageing and
compromise the life of both the scooter and the battery.
• Check the brakes and that they are adjusted correctly.
• Check screws in general
1. Do not use batteries of other models or brands, as they may pose a safety risk.
2. Do not disassemble, crush or puncture the product. Do not touch the battery contacts.
Do not disassemble or puncture the outer casing. Avoid the product coming into contact
with water and fire and do not expose it to temperatures exceeding 50 °C (including heat
sources such as stoves, heaters, etc.). Avoid contact between metal objects and battery
contacts to prevent short circuit, physical injury or death.
3. Water seeping into the battery can cause damage to internal circuits and risk of fire or
explosion. If there is any doubt that water may have entered the battery, stop using the
battery immediately and return it to your dealer's after-sales service for checking.
4. Use only the original charger to avoid potential damage or fire.
5. Improper disposal of used batteries seriously pollutes the environment. Follow local
regulations regarding battery disposal. Follow battery disposal regulations to protect the
environment.
6. After each use, fully recharge the battery to extend its useful life. Do not store
the battery in an environment where the temperature is above 50 °C or below -20
°C (for example, do not leave the scooter or battery in a car in direct sunlight for an
extended period of time). Do not throw the battery into fire as this could lead to failure,
overheating and even a fire.
