Figure 8. Battery Condition Metre
V. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
Your scooter is equipped with two sealed, maintenance free, 12 AH batteries. Fully charge the batteries prior to
using your scooter for the first time. Keeping the batteries fully charged will keep your scooter running smoothly.
READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE
The battery condition metre on the tiller console uses a colour code to indi-
cate the approximate strength of your batteries. Green indicates fully charged
batteries, yellow a draining charge, and red indicates that an immediate re-
charge is necessary. See figure 8. To ensure the highest accuracy, the bat-
tery condition metre should be checked while operating your scooter at full
speed on a dry, level surface.
To check the battery strength during charging, you must first unplug the charger
power lead and power up your scooter by inserting the key into the key
switch.
CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES
WARNING! Never use an extension lead to plug in your battery charger. Plug the charger
directly into a properly wired standard wall outlet.
WARNING! Removal of the grounding prong can create an electrical hazard. If necessary,
properly install an approved 3-prong adapter to an electrical outlet having 2-pronged plug
access. Failure to heed could result in personal injury and/or property damage.
The scooters battery pack can be charged on or off the scooter.
Follow these easy steps to charge your batteries safely:
1. Position your scooter close to a standard wall outlet.
2. Remove the key from the key switch.
3. Make certain that the manual freewheel lever is in the drive (rearward) position.
4. Remove the charger power lead receptacle cover from the charger power lead receptacle and plug the 3-pin
off-board charger power lead into the receptacle.
5. Extend the charger power lead from the off-board battery charger and plug it into the wall outlet. It is recom-
mended that you charge your batteries for 8 to 14 hours.
6. When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the off-board charger power lead from the wall outlet and then
from the charger power lead receptacle.
7. Replace the charger power lead receptacle cover.
NOTE: There is a charger inhibit function on your scooter. The scooter will not run and the
battery condition metre will not operate if the charger power lead is not disconnected
from the battery pack.
