in an uncomfortable ride. Underinflation will result in poor
battery and motor performance.

Keep your batteries well charged (see Battery Charging section
of this manual). Keep batteries clean and in a dry frost-proof
place. Keep battery terminals tight. Your Freerider Agent will
be able to test your batteries for their state of service.

a charge may be made for this service.

It is not possible to predict the life expectancy

of your batteries. This is mainly due to the different workloads
a battery can be subjected to.(see page 27 of this manual)

Some

Scooter users will use their vehicle every

day and for long periods of time. Their batteries will receive a
near total discharge, and the life of the batteries will be short
(12 months or less some cases).

Other Scooter users will use their machines less
frequently, putting their batteries through a less demanding
discharge lifestyle. These batteries will probably have a longer
life in excess of 12months. This can only be a general guide
and one cannot be more specific, due to other factors such as;
motor loads, tyre pressures, general service factors, working
conditions, periods of non-use and abuse etc.

When you need to purchase batteries, always insist on the
model fitted as standard equipment to your Scooter. Do
not use less expensive car starter batteries. If in doubt, consult
your local

authorised agent.

Correct disposal of exhausted batteries is advised.

Please note: The charger supplied with your

Scooter

is specifically designed for sealed type batteries and may not
work correctly with other battery designs. (See also Batteries
and Battery Charging section of this manual).

The Freerider Scooter has been designed with low
maintenance in mind. Wheel bearings and steering bearings
