1 Safety and assembly instructions
These safety instructions are intended to prevent accidents, and it is imperative that they are observed.
1.1 Before any inspection or repair work
•Read and observe this Service Manual and the associated operating manual.
•Observe the minimum qualification requirements for carrying out the work.
Caution:
•Please take into account the heavy weight of some components. This applies especially to
removal of drive units and batteries.
•The Scooter must be switched off before removal of voltage-carrying components. To do this
remove the batteries.
• When making measurements on voltage-carrying components, avoid short-circuiting the
contacts.
•Danger of fire!
•Use tools that are in good condition.
1.2 During dismantling / reassembly
•Mark all current settings for the Scooter (seat, armrests, backrest etc.), and the cable connecting plugs
associated, before any removals. This makes reassembly easier.
Caution:
•Support the Scooter when raised with suitable equipment before beginning removal or
reassembly.
•Never use “standard” nuts instead of self-locking nuts.
•Always use correctly dimensioned washers or spacers.
Note:
•All plugs are fitted with mechanical safety devices which prevent release of the connecting
plugs during operation.
•To release the connecting plugs the safety devices must be pressed in.
•When reassembling ensure that these safety devices are correctly engaged.
•Cable binders which have been cut off during disassembly should be replaced by new ones
during reassembly.
