The off-board charger supplied with your scooter is equipped with a 115/230 voltage switch. Confirm that
this switch is in the proper position for your locality. If you are not sure what the voltage is in your country,
contact your local electricity provider before inserting the charger power lead plug into your electrical
outlet. If the setting is incorrect, the charger will not function properly. Slide the voltage switch to the
appropriate position. See figure 9.
WARNING! Failure to ensure the voltage switch is in the proper position can cause dam-
age to the charger and may damage the batteries.
NOTE: The LED lights on the charger indicate different charger conditions at various times: charger
power on, charging in progress, and charging complete. Refer to the manual supplied with the charger
for a complete explanation of these indicators.
Follow these easy steps to charge your batteries safely:
1. Position your scooter close to a standard electrical outlet.
2. Remove the key from the key switch.
3. Make certain that the manual freewheel lever is in the drive (forward) position.
4. Plug the charger power lead into the off-board charger port on your scooter. We recommend that you
charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours.
5. When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the charger power lead from the electrical outlet and then
from the charger power lead receptacle.
NOTE: There is a charger inhibit function on your scooter. The scooter will not run and the battery
condition meter will not operate while the batteries are charging.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does the charger work?
When your scooter’s battery voltage is low, the charger works harder and sends more electrical current to
the batteries to bring up their charge. As the voltage of the batteries approaches a full charge, the charger
sends less and less electrical current to the batteries. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent
to them from the charger is at nearly zero amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains
the charge on your scooter’s batteries, but does not overcharge them. We do not recommend that you
charge your scooter’s batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
