2. Check the vehicle is switched off and the key removed.
3. Check the mains switch is off. Never connect or disconnect the charger with the mains on.
4. Connect the charger to the battery as above. Note that the battery can also be charged when removed
from the scooter.

6. The power illuminates red when switched on. The charger lamp changes to green when fully charged.
7. Switch off the mains and remove the plug from the battery when fully charged. Do not leave the charger
plugged in with the power off. This will gradually discharge your battery.
