Caution:

Your Scooter like any other electro-mechanical machine will
benefit from regular servicing by your

dealer.

You too, can help keep your

in tip-top condition by

following a simple guide to home maintenance.

Note: Only competent people should carry out service work.

A damp cloth and a little soapy water will keep your seat,
backrest and arms looking smart. Do not use abrasive
cleaners as this will damage the coating. Upholstery can be
damaged by chemical cleaners. The coating material can also
degrade over a period of time due to contamination by
natural oils in the hair and skin.
Ultra-violet light can also reduce the life of the upholstery
coating material. This is a normal ageing process and cannot
be guaranteed (see exclusions in the Guarantee Terms).

The painted bodywork on your Scooter can be lightly
washed with clean soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaners
or strong detergents. This could fade the colour, an auto tyre
shampoo works well.

On the painted finish, be cautious not to wash with a dirty
cloth as this could scratch the paint finish. Auto polish can
be used to keep the paintwork and bright chrome parts in
pristine condition.

The metal framework of your Scooter should be cleaned
once a year and any paintwork damaged should be treated to
prevent further attack from the elements.

Do not store your Scooter in damp conditions. This may
affect the electronics if left for very long periods of time.
Moisture, if left unattended can cause deterioration on metal

carried out by your local Freerider service dealer. These units
are sealed and should not be opened. BROKEN SEALS WILL
INVALIDATE YOUR GUARANTEE.

The motor on your Freerider Scooter is fitted with long-life
brushes. The brushes should be inspected for wear every 12
months or more frequently if you use you Scooter daily for
long periods. The brushes should be changed when they have
worn down to approximately 8mm in length. Access to these
brushes can only be made by dismantling the motor body.

Only competent people should service the motor's

components.

This unit is factory filled and will not normally need additional
lubrication.

Note: Your

Scooter transmission is filled with a

special lubricant. Do not attempt to force grease into the
transmission as this will contaminate the original lubrication
and will invalidate your guarantee.

Take care when lifting the transmission, keep well

away from clothing. It is normal to find a light film of
lubrication around this part.
