V. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
Your scooter requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free.
Three important points to remember are:
! Charge your batteries with the supplied off-board battery charger prior to using it for the first time.
! Keep your batteries fully charged to keep your scooter running smoothly.
! Use only the off-board battery charger supplied with your scooter.
CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES
The battery condition meter on the control console assembly indicates the approximate strength of your
batteries. To check the charge, you must ensure the key is inserted in the key switch and turned clockwise.
The off-board battery charger connects to your scooter via the off-board battery charger port located on the
rear tiller shroud. We recommend that you charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours after daily use. See figure 12.
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-pronge adapter to an electrical outlet having 2-pronged
plug access. Failure to heed could result in personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING! Ensure that both ends of the charger power lead are clean and dry before
plugging the charger power lead into the charger power lead receptacle or the electrical
outlet.
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Read the battery charging instructions
in this manual and in the manual supplied with the battery charger before charging the
batteries.
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Do not expose the off-board battery
charger to rain or other sources of moisture unless it has been tested for outdoor use.
Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for more information.
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Explosive gases may be generated
while charging the batteries. Keep the scooter and the battery charger away from sources
of ignition such as flames or sparks and provide adequate ventilation when charging the
batteries.
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Inspect the battery charger, wiring,
and connectors for damage before each use. Contact your authorized Pride Provider if
damage is found.
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Do not attempt to open the battery
charger case. If the battery charger does not appear to be working correctly, contact
your authorized Pride Provider.
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! If the off-board battery charger is
equipped with cooling slots, then do not attempt to insert objects through these slots.
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Do not allow unsupervised children
to play near the scooter while the batteries are charging.
