The following charts should be regarded only as a guide to general maintenance. Weather, geographical location, and usage patterns may affect the schedules indicated. For example, parts should be inspected, cleaned, and/or lubricated more frequently to avoid damage caused by moisture if the scooter is operated in an area with high humidity.
