Hurricane

The following areas require periodic inspection and/or care and maintenance.

TYRE PRESSURE:

n We recommend you maintain the tyre pressure at 30 psi for optimum scooter performance; overinflating a tyre

can cause it to explode.

TYRE CONDITION AND TREAD WEAR:

n Regularly inspect your Hurricane’s tyres for signs of wear.

n Use a rubber conditioner on your Hurricane’s tyres to preserve them.

n Do not put rubber conditioner on tread area of tyres; the tyres may become dangerously slippery.

EXTERIOR SURFACES:

n Bumpers and trim benefit from an occasional application of rubber or vinyl conditioner.

n Do not use rubber or vinyl conditioner on your Hurricane’s vinyl seat; it may become dangerously slippery.

BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS:

n Ensure the terminal connections remain tight and uncorroded.

n Ensure the batteries sit flat in the battery wells.

n Ensure the battery terminals face the rear of your Hurricane.

WIRING HARNESSES:

n Regularly check all wiring connections.

n Regularly check all wiring insulation, including the charger power cord, for wear or damage.

n Repair or replace any damaged connector, connection, or insulation before you use your Hurricane.

SEAT POST:

n Periodically clean dirt and grime from the detached seat post with any lubricant solution; wipe away excess

buildup with a soft cloth.

ABS PLASTIC SHROUDS:

n Apply a light coat of car wax to the shrouds to help retain their high gloss; the shrouds are formed from durable

ABS plastic and coated with an advanced formula urethane paint.

AXLE BEARINGS AND THE MOTOR/TRANSAXLE HURRICANE ASSEMBLY:

n You do not need to lubricate these items, as they are all prelubricated and sealed.

CONSOLE, CHARGER, AND ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER MODULE:

n Keep these areas away from moisture.

n Let any of these areas dry thoroughly before operating your Hurricane if they have been exposed to moisture.

STORAGE:

n Refer to “How should I store my Hurricane and its batteries?” in V. “Batteries and Charging.”
