Maintenance
Regular care ensures that your scooter is preserved in a perfectly functional condition. For
the maintenance manual, refer to the Vermeiren website: www.vermeiren.com.
CAUTION
Repairs and replacements may only be undertaken by trained persons and only genuine
replacement parts of Vermeiren should be used.
The last page of this manual contains a registration form for the specialist dealer to record
each service.
The service frequency depends on the frequency and intensity of use. Contact your dealer to
agree to a common timetable for inspection/maintenance/repair.
Before each use
Visually inspect the following points:
Battery status: Charge the battery when necessary, see § 3.7.
Condition of wheels/tyres: Correct pressure, profile, no damage.
General condition.
Contact your specialist dealer for possible repairs or part replacements.
Monthly
If your scooter is stored for a longer period, you still need to charge the batteries monthly. For
more information, see § 3.7.
Yearly or more often
Have your scooter inspected and serviced by your specialist dealer at least once a year, or more
often. The minimum maintenance frequency depends on the frequency of use and should
therefore be commonly agreed upon with your specialist dealer.
If stored
Make sure that your scooter is stored in a dry environment to prevent mould from growing or the
upholstery from being damaged. Disconnect the battery to prevent it from being damaged.
4.1
Cleaning
CAUTION
Keep the operating console clean and protect it from water and rain.
Never use a hose or high-pressure cleaner to clean the scooter.
Wipe all rigid parts of the scooter with a damp cloth (not drenched). If necessary, use a mild soap,
suitable for varnishes and synthetics.
The upholstery can be cleaned with lukewarm water and a mild soap. Do not use abrasive
cleaning agents to clean.
Keep the ventilation openings of the battery charger clean and free of accumulated dust. Blow
away the dust and clean the battery charger enclosure with a slightly moistened cloth, if required.
4.2
Expected lifespan

circumstances and maintenance, the lifespan of your scooter will increase or decrease.
