CHARGER MAINS PLUG
Your Charger’s main input cord is already fitted with a moulded
plug incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the
pin face of the plug Should the fuse need to be replaced, an
ASTA approved BS1362 fuse must be used of the same rating
If the plug supplied is not suitable for your socket outlet, it
should be cut off and destroyed
*
The end of the flexible cord
should be suitably prepared and the correct plug fitted If any
other type of plug is used a 5 amp fuse must be fitted either in
the plug, adaptor or at the distribution board
* WARNING:
A plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if
engaged in a live socket outlet

Your FR168-3P/4P like any other electro-mechanical
machine will
benefit from regular servicing by your
Freerider dealer You
too, can help keep your
Scooter in tip-top condition by
following a simple guide to home maintenance
Note: Only competent people should carry out service work.
SEAT UPHOLSTERY
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]
BODYWORK
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 type shampoo
works well
Remove salt contact as this
is very corrosive to bright metal parts.
Caution:
Do not hose down your
Scooter with a powerful
cleaner Water could be forced into the electronics and cause
permanent damage
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
work, protect with proprietory cleaners
ELECTRONICS
Servicing of the drive electronics and charger should only be
carried out by your local
Freerider service dealer These units
are sealed and should not be opened
BROKEN SEALS WILL
INVALIDATE YOUR GUARANTEE.
Do not operate your Freerider Richmond in exceptional
weather conditions ie. very heavy rain. Cover your
machine up, if it is to be left unattended and outside for a
long period of time.
Do not drive through deep water with your Richmond.
This could damage the electronic speed controller. Sea
and road salts are very corrosive and should be
neutralised quickly.
MOTOR
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 be made via the two black caps
located at the motor brake end of the motor.
