7 Folding and Carrying 8 Daily Care and Maintenance Fold Open Make sure that the scooter's turned off.

Carry 12 Cleaning and storage If you see stains on the scooter's body, wipe them off with a damp cloth. If the stains won't scrub off, put on some toothpaste, and brush them with a toothbrush, then wipe them off with a damp cloth. If you see scratches on plastic parts, use sandpaper or other abrasive materials to polish them. Notes: do not clean the scooter with alcohol, gasoline, kerosene or other corrosive and volatile chemical solvents to prevent dire damage. Do not wash the scooter with a high-pressure water spray. During cleaning, make sure that the scooter's turned off, the charging cable is unplugged, and the rubber flap is closed as water leakage may result in electric shock or other major problems. When the scooter's not in use, keep it indoors where it is dry and cool. Do not put it outdoors for long time. Excessive sunlight, overheating and overcooling accelerate tire aging and compromise the scooter and the battery pack's lifespan. (Lorsque le scooter n'est pas utilis, gardez-le l'intrieur dans un endroit sec et frais. Ne le mettez pas en plein air pendant longtemps. La lumire du soleil excessive, la surchauffe et le sur-refroidissement acclrent le vieillissement des pneus et compromettent le scooter et la dure de vie de la batterie.) Battery maintenance 1. Use original battery packs, use of other models or brands may bring about safety issues;
2. Do not touch the contacts. Do not dismantle or puncture the casing. Keep the contacts away from metal objects to prevent short circuit which may result in battery damage or even injuries and deaths;
3. Use original power adapter to avoid potential damage or fire;
4. Mishandling of used batteries may do tremendous harm to the environment. To protect natural environment, please follow local regulations to properly dispose used batteries. 5. After every use, fully charge the battery to prolong its lifespan. Do not place the battery in an environment where the ambient temperature is higher than 122F or lower than -4F (e.g., do not leave the scooter or the battery pack in a car under direct sunlight for an extended time). Do not throw the battery pack into fire as it may lead to battery failure, battery overheating, and even another fire. If the scooter is expected to be left idle for more than 30 days, please fully charge the battery and place it in a dry and cool place. Keep in mind to recharge it every 60 days to protect the battery from potential damage which is beyond limited warranty. Always charge before exhausting the battery to prolong the battery's lifespan. The battery pack performs better at normal temperature, and poor when it is below 32F. For instance, when it is below -4F, the riding range is only half or less at normal state. When the temperature rises, the riding range restores. For detailed information, please refer to Macwheel App. Note: fully charged Macwheel Electric Scooter will takes around 5-6 hours. The built-in intelligent chip will keep a log of its charging and discharging records. The damage caused by prolonged no charge is irreversible and is beyond limited warranty. Once the damage is done, the battery can not be recharged (non-professionals are forbidden to dismantle the battery pack, as it may cause electric shock, short circuit or even major safety accidents). 13
