MAINTENANCE
Tires
Since your tires are flat free tires, there is no need to ever worry about tire air pressure.
General Maintenance and Lubrication
• Inspection for loose wheel bolts, seat and arm tightening bolts, and other nuts and bolts
is recommended on a regular basis.
• Most lubricated components on the Dasher Portable scooter are designed to be
maintenance free and are sealed. Therefore lubrication is not required for these
components. However, the driving axles and seat post should always have a very light coat
of multipurpose grease.
DO NOT USE TOO MUCH GREASE!
Drips may stain or damage carpets, furnishings, etc.
• It is recommended that the driving axles (inside the drive wheel assembly) be checked
and cleaned occasionally for hair and debris build-up, which will hinder the performance of
the unit.
• Check the batteries on a regular basis. For extended battery life, it is highly
recommended that the batteries be fully charged after each use. If the batteries are weak,
severely discharged or old, a variety of problems may occur with the unit including charging
problems, reduced speed, loss of range, and others. Please contact your local Shoprider®
provider for battery replacement.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Circuit Breaker (Reset Button)
Your scooter is fitted with the latest in electronic controls that are programmed to protect
the electrical system from abnormal overloads. Provided for extra protection is a circuit
breaker, located on the side of the battery pack. Should there be a situation where your
scooter stops for no apparent reason, please check that the circuit breaker has not popped.
NOTE: To preserve battery charge, your scooter may go into sleep mode after being idle for
a few minutes. To remove from sleep mode, turn the key off and back on again.
Check List
If your scooter fails to operate, please check the following:
• Unit is switched on.
• Drive/Freewheel mechanism is in the drive position.
• All plugs and connectors are clean and firmly connected.
• Battery level shows full charge.
If the free wheel device has been operated with the scooter switched on, then the scooter
will not operate until the ignition key has been switched off and then on again.
Please consult your dealer if your scooter does not run after checking these points.
