The scooter has double seals on all shaft openin s and
housin seals.
To ensure that the seals seal perfectly, the seals ust be
cleaned and greased regularly!
The scooter is supplied with a control volta e after switchin
on the main switch. The scooter therefore consumes power
even when the scooter is not in use (approx. 3W).
Make sure that the main switch is turned to „OFF“ after use.
In case of lon er transports we stron advise you to
disconnect the plu from the battery.
Failure to do so ay lead to a total discharge of battery
over a prolonged ti e and this can cause irreparable
battery da age!

to usa e.

silver eccentric locking lever in the folded locked

Either return the used battery to the manufacturer (disposal is
free of char e) or take them alon to a collection point for
used batteries.
The battery may not be exposed to direct sunli ht.
Temperatures below freezin point should also be avoided
durin stora e.
Heating or very low te peratures reduce the service life
of the battery!
The battery should ideally be stored in a safe, dry place
between 15°C and 20°C.
If you will store the scooter for a prolonged ti e, keep
the battery partially charged, this will ensure a long
