Your Fortress scooter has many unique features not found on other scooters. With proper care and maintenance, you will
enjoy many years of dependable service from your Fortress scooter.
Your scooter has been designed so that maintenance can be kept to an absolute minimum. In order to obtain maximum
results in performance and durability, please check the following:
DAILY
•
Recharge the batteries (depending on amount of usage)
WEEKLY
•
Check the tire pressure on all wheels. The normal pressure should be 40 to 45 p.s.i. (276 to 310 kPa).
•
Clean the entire scooter with a slightly dampened cloth. Clean the upholstery, plastic floor pan, covers
and all metal parts.
NOTE: Periodic cleaning of all under cover parts of the scooter will prevent accumulation of dirt on the
motor, controller, differential, etc. This is especially important if the unit is used extensively outdoors.
MONTHLY
•
Clean all mineral deposits in and around battery posts. This is natural accumulation, but interferes with
good electrical connections.
•
Check the tightness of all exposed nuts, bolts and screws. Ensure that they are not loose.
•
Check that the front wheel and the rear wheels spin freely and that the tiller does not wobble
excessively. Tighten as required.
YEARLY
•
Have your authorized movingpeople.net Dealer completely check over your scooter.
LUBRICATION
Your movingpeople.net scooter uses self contained components that do not require lubrication. Only the chain
may need slight lubrication as is commonly done on bicycle chains.
Warning: Do not hose down, spray or submerge any electrical components including
the motor, controller, speed control console, batteries or battery charger.
