9. Storage, maintenance and cleaning

CAUTION
If there are stains on the body of the scooter, wipe with a damp cloth. If the stains persist,
apply neutral soap, brush out with a toothbrush, then wipe with a damp cloth. If there are
scratches on the plastic components, use sandpaper or other abrasive material to remove
them. Do not clean the items with alcohol, petrol, paraffin or other corrosive or volatile
chemical solvents to prevent severe damage. Do not wash the item using high-pressure
water jets. When cleaning the scooter, make sure that it is switched off, that the charging
cable is disconnected, and the rubber cap is closed, as a water leak may cause an electric
shock or other serious problems. Water seeping into the battery may cause damage to
internal circuits and risk of fire or explosion. Should you suspect that water may have
entered the battery, stop using the battery immediately and return it to your dealer's after-
sales service for checking.
When the item is not in use, store it indoors in a cool, dry place. Do not store outdoors or
inside cars for extended periods of time. Excessive sunlight, overheating, and excessive
cold accelerate tyre ageing and jeopardize the life of both the item and the battery. Do not
expose it to rain or water or immerse it in water to wash it.
Regularly check the tightness of the bolted parts, in particular wheel axles, the folding and
transportation system, the steering system, the braking system, the state of the frame,
the forks and the suspension. Nuts and all other self-locking fasteners may lose their
effectiveness. Periodically check and tighten these components.
Like all mechanical components, the item is subject to wear and tear. Different materials
and components may react to wear or stress fatigue in a variety of ways. If the service
life of a component is exceeded, it may break suddenly, resulting in injury to the rider. Any
cracks, scratches or changes in colour in areas subject to high levels of stress indicate that
the life of the component has been reached and must be replaced.
Check the condition of the tyres: there must be no cuts, cracks, foreign bodies, abnormal
swelling, missing parts or other damage. For tyre pressure, refer to the value indicated in
section 11 in this instruction manual.
Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the scooter yourself. Replacement of all scooter
components should be carried out by the technical service department. For further
