CHARGING THE CART
24V Charger operating instructions
READ INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE USING.
To charge, park the material handling cart near a grounded AC electrical outlet and turn the power “OFF” before
charging. First, find the charging cord located near the handle on all carts. Plug the end into the AC electrical
outlet. Ensure the end of the cord is secure in the outlet. Observe the LED light on the handle control panel.
Connecting the charge cord to an AC source will initiate the charge cycle. The battery display gauge will flash for
approximately 30 seconds, indicating the start of the charge cycle. The LED battery display bar will remain solid
and move from left to right as the batteries charge. The LED will flash when the charge is complete. When
connected to an outlet with power, the AC cord end lights up.
• It is always best to allow the batteries to charge fully.
• Charge nine (9) hours or overnight for the very rst charge.
• After the rst charge, attempt to achieve a ve (5) hour minimum uninterrupted charge cycle. However, Amigo
recommends an eight (8) hour uninterrupted charge cycle.
• It is best to keep the batteries fully charged. Extended charging will not overcharge the batteries and is
recommended when the cart is not in use.
24V charger safety features
Driving functions are disabled while in the charging mode. This safety feature eliminates the possibility of driving
away while the cord is attached.
Note: Make sure the charge cord is unplugged from the wall outlet before disconnecting from or moving the cart.
Assuring long battery life & warranty protection
Establish a regular procedure for charging a fleet of Amigo material handling carts to assure all are fully charged.
A multiple outlet strip with a “POWER ON” indicator light could be used. Do not exceed outlet rating. Chargers draw
a maximum of 1.5 amps each.
Be sure that all charging outlets are protected by a 15-amp ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
If the cart slows down and eventually loses all power within a day’s use - and all other systems appear to be
functioning normally - the batteries may need replacing. If the batteries are faulty, you may call the factory direct
to order a replacement and verify warranty status. If they are not faulty, another problem exists. Refer to
diagnostic codes on page 10, or contact Amigo Service at 989-777-9010.
