6.1.2 Replacing the batteries
See fig. 000000024.
If the capacity of the batteries is reduced to
the extend that the scooter can only make
very short trips, or even none at all, the
batteries are at the end of their lifespan.
Replace them as soon as possible.
Contact your dealer who
can advise you what type of
batteries are best suitable
for the scooter.
The batteries should be replaced as follows:
• Switch off the scooter.
• Take the ignition key from the lock.
• Remove the seat ; see 'removing the seat’.
• Remove the battery cover; see 'removing the battery cover’.
• Untie the bands (A) with which the batteries (B) are fastened.
• Pull out the plugs (C).
• Lift the batteries from the scooter, one by one, using the carrying belts (D).
• Both batteries may now be removed.
New batteries are placed in the reverse order.
• As soon as the new batteries are placed, the batteries must be
charged.
• Avoid metal parts from coming into contact with the battery
terminals. This may lead to short circuiting, which could have
very serious consequences.
6.1.3 Cleaning the batteries
The dry batteries are in principle maintenance free. Nonetheless, attention must be
paid to the following:
• Keep the batteries clean and dry: dirt and water can cause a leak, so that the capacity
of the batteries will decrease.
• Cleaning the poles: after cleaning, grease them with acid-free Vaseline.
Never completely deplete the batteries! This can seriously damage
the batteries and considerably decrease their lifespan.
