4. Slide the wheel from the mounting axle.

Rear wheels are fitted to the drive axle via a hub which

locates onto a key. These wheels fit tight onto the axle

and may need some pressure from a bearing puller onto

the wheel hub to release them from the axles. Look for

spacing washers and take care not to mislay the drive

key which fits between the wheel hub and the axle shaft.

5. First deflate the air from the wheel assembly by

removing the valve core from the valve with a suitable

valve key (purchased from auto shops).

Warning: Please note the rims of your wheel are a split

rim system, do not dismantle the wheel from the hub

without first letting air out of the tyre.

With the aid of 13mm spanners (not supplied) remove the

four nuts and washers from the rear of the wheel hub.

6. Remove the four wheel bolts and part the hub from the

wheel rims. Part the inner and outer wheel rim from the

side wall of the tyre.

To re-assemble the wheel and hub simply follow the above

procedure in reverse order noting the following points:

1. Make certain you have tightened the two wheel rims to

the centre hub.

2. Make certain your tyre is re-inflated to the

recommended pressure (see specifications at the rear of

this manual).

3. Make certain that you replace any spacing washers and

keys in the order that they were removed.

4. Locking Nut : The special nylon ‘locking’ centre hub nut

may lose it’s effectiveness when it has been removed

over a number of times. If the plastic locking ring at the

end of the nut becomes worn or damaged, then the nut

should be replaced with a new part obtained from your

Freerider Agent.

TYRE SERVICING FRONT WHEEL

Your front wheel is fitted with a solid tyre which requires

minimum maintenace. The tyre should be exchanged when

the tread has worn out. Remove the wheel from the fork

with the aid of 19mm and 21mm spanners. The front

wheel has two bearings which may have various spacing

washers between the fork, please note the order of these

washers.

Remove the tyre from the wheel by following point 6 above

for Rear Wheels, using a 10mm spanner and 4mm hex key.

Re-assembly is the reverse procedure making certain that all

washers supplied are replaced correctly.

TYRE PRESSURES

The Companion Scooter rear wheels are pneumatic and their

pressure needs to be maintained at 30 p.s.i. (210 kpa)

Warning: Pressures exceeding those recommended will

result in an uncomfortable ride. Underinflation will result in

poor battery and motor performance. Do not exceed the

maximum pressures marked on the side wall of the tyre, this

could damage the tyre or wheel rim.

Caution: The fitting of solid inserts into the rear wheels to

replace the pneumatic tube (puncture proofing) is not

recommended as these products detract from the natural

cushioned ride produced from ‘air’ filled tyres. If you

require puncture proof tyres, your dealer can, at an extra

cost, insert a liquid puncture proofing agent.

BATTERIES

Keep your batteries well charged (see Battery Charging

section of this manual). Keep batteries clean and in a dry

frost-proof place. Keep battery terminals tight. Your

Freerider Agent will be able to test your batteries for their

state of service.

Note: a charge may be made for this service.

IMPORTANT: It is not possible to predict the life

expectancy of your batteries. This is mainly due to the

different workloads a battery can be subjected to.

Some Freerider Companion users will use their vehicle

every day and for long periods of time. Their batteries will

receive a near total discharge, and the life of the batteries

will be short (less than 12 months in some cases).

Other Companion users will use their machines less

frequently, putting their batteries through a less demanding

discharge lifestyle. These batteries will probably have a

longer life in excess of 12months). This can only be a

general guide and one cannot be more specific, due to other

factors such as; motor loads, tyre pressures, general service

factors, working conditions, periods of non-use and abuse

etc.

When you need to purchase batteries, always insist on the

model fitted as standard equipment to your Companion. Do

not use less expensive car starter batteries. If in doubt,

consult your local Freerider authorised agent. Warning:

Correct disposal of exhausted batteries is advised.

Please note: The charger supplied with your Freerider

Scooter is specifically designed for sealed type batteries and

may not work correctly with other battery designs. (See also

Batteries and Battery Charging section of this manual).

LUBRICATION

The Freerider Companion has been designed with low

maintenance in mind. Wheel bearings and steering bearings*

are sealed for life. The following points will need

checking/lubricating at the following service intervals:
