4.1.1 Inspection before use
Before one starts driving the scooter, it is important to check the following points of the
scooter:
•
make sure the seat is properly interlocked.
•
make sure all clamp connections of the various adjustments are securely tightened, to
prevent loosening by vibration.
•
make sure all lights and indicators are working properly, both at the front and the
back. switching on the switches on the dashboard, to make sure the lights and
indicators are working properly.
•
make sure the hand brake on the front wheel is released.
Pull the handle towards you as far as possible to release the hand brake. This will
cause the catch to be released. Now you can let go of the handle; the hand brake will
be released.
•
make sure the tyres are sufficiently pumped up. See 'Product specifications'.
•
Poorly pumped up tyres have a negative effect on the driving characteristics.
•
Poorly pumped up tyres cause a higher power consumption, depleting the
batteries more quickly.
•
Poorly pumped up tyres causes unnecessary wear to the tyres.
•
make sure the batteries are charged sufficiently: this is indicated by the green zone on
the battery-condition meter. See 'Dashboard'.
In winter, batteries have a lower capacity. In case of light frost, the
capacity drops to about 75% and at a temperature of less than -5
degrees, it will drop to about 50% of the normal capacity. This will
decrease the range of action.
•
make sure the scooter is in the driving position. See 'Neutral position of the scooter'.
•
make sure the brakes are functioning correctly. See 'driving with the scooter'.
Should the scooter, despite all safety precautions, start behaving in an unpredictable
manner, let go of the throttle handle and, after having come to a standstill, take the
contact plug from the contact.
If everything is in order, the scooter can be driven.
