7 Maintenance
Your Excel Roadster DX8 scooter needs periodical maintenance. This is necessary for long and optimum comfort
for the user of the scooter. A badly maintained scooter will give you more technical problems, make it harder to
steer and it won’t be covered by the warranty. Preventative maintenance is very important. We advise your scooter
is checked by a qualied Van Os Medical dealer at least once a year. This dealer will replace where necessary only
Excel parts. These annual inspections will make sure your scooter will function correctly for years.
There are a lot of things you can do yourself to keep your scooter in optimum condition. If you regularly check the
scooter and perform (small) maintenance tasks, this will extend the lifetime of your chair and increase the ease of
use. In the following paragraphs these steps maintenance are further described.
7.1 The tyres
You need to check the tyres of the scooter regularly, because the tyres will wear out. If the wear is at an advanced
stage, then you should replace the tyres.
7.1.1 Air tyres
Air tyres should be checked weekly for correct tyre pressure. You will nd the recommended tyre pressure on the
rear wheels and, you can check it with a standard car or bicycle tyre pressure gauge. If the tyres of the scooter do
not have the correct pressure it will lean to the side where the lower pressure is. It will also aect the ride and it will
mean you have to exert more eort to move the scooter. We recommend a tyre pressure of 30-35 psi.
Clean the tyres with car shampoo and a moist cloth. Do not use solvents on the tyres. These can damage or soften
the tyres’ material.
7.2 Bodywork
Taking good care of the bodywork is very important, because well maintained bodywork also protects the
mechanical parts or your scooter. The main reason for taking care of the bodywork is to prevent it from rusting. To
care for your bodywork, check the following aspects;
Washing your scooter is useful for preventing dirt to stick to the material and eat away at it. Van Os Medical
reccommends you to wash your scooter weekly;
Keep the bodywork of your scooter clean with car shampoo and a moist cloth. Do not hose down your
scooter! You can dry the bodywork using a soft cloth;
Use cold water and a mild soap to remove grease and dirt.
