Parts to check and make maintenance
Bearings
A fundamental part of the good working of the wheels is the bearings, situated
between the axle and the wheel. The good condition of these elements provides
smooth and secure scooter movement.
The bearings are a mobile part subject to constant friction due to the scooter's use,
so that it's logical and normal its wear, causing loss of efficiency. To check its good
working, hold the scooter and make turn the wheels with a hand, the rotation has
to be smooth, uniform, prolonged and without balancing, otherwise if it wasn't so or
any strange noise was heard, it could be a bearing deterioration or wear sign, as a
result it has to be replaced immediately by a new one.
We recommend you to apply lubricant to the bearings after using the scooter
for some time. Those lubricant or substitution actions with the bad condition
bearings require a professional intervention qualified for these tasks, as a result we
recommend you to keep in contact with your dealer.
Wheels
The wheels are elements subject to a constant wear due to the scooter's use, as a
result you should give a special attention to its wear and its general good condition.
The good condition of the wheels affects the security of using the scooter regarding
its adherence to the surface or as a guarantee for a better work of the brake. Take a
periodic look for both wheels and check that its wear don't be excessive and don't
have rips or deformations, in any of these cases or another one that questions its
correct efficiency, you should replace them immediately by a new ones, as a result
we recommend you to keep in contact with your dealer.
Bearings Separators / Axles / Axles screws
Those pieces are as well an important part of the mechanical set formed by the
wheels and the bearings, between both bearings introduced in the centre of
the wheel there's a separator installed, and its mission is to keep both bearings
separated.
The axle from the back part of the deck goes through the bearings and the
separator (and the axle has usually two lateral pieces called bearing housing) or in
the case of the front wheel the axle from the front fork.
Those pieces are subject as well to a constant wear and possible damages caused
by a bad scooter's use, as a result you should revise them periodically and check
the state of them, if you detect any abnormality we recommend you to keep in
contact immediately with your dealer.
Steering system
To carry out the turning maneuvers with the handlebar, the scooter has a steering
mechanism that has a bearing system, this bearing system has a logical and normal
wear caused by the scooter's use, as a result you should revise them too, carrying
out the appropriate checks.
