Follow these easy steps to charge your batteries safely:

1.Position your PMV close to a standard electri- cal outlet.

2.Remove the key from the key switch.

3.Make certain that the manual freewheel lever is in the drive position.

4.Plug the 3-pin charger power cord into the off- board charger port. See figures 9 and 10.

5.Extend the charger power cord and plug it into the electrical outlet. We recommend that you

charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours.

7.When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the charger power cord from the electrical out- let and then from the off-board charger port.

NOTE: The LED lights on the charger indicate different charger conditions at various times: charger power on, charging in progress, charg- ing complete. Refer to the label on the charger for a complete explanation of these indicators.

NOTE: There is a charger inhibit function on your PMV. The PMV will not run and the battery condition meter will not operate while the batter- ies are charging.

How does the charger work?

When your PMV’s battery voltage is low, the charger works harder, sending more electrical current to the batteries to bring up their charge. As the batteries approach a full charge, the charger sends less and less electrical current. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent from the charger is at nearly zero amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on your PMV’s batteries, but does not overcharge them. We do not recommend that you charge your PMV’s batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.

What if my PMV’s batteries won’t charge?

Ensure the red (+) and black (-) battery cables are connected properly to the battery terminals. Ensure both battery harnesses that extend from the batteries are plugged into their mating harness leading to the charger.

Ensure both ends of the charger power cord are inserted fully.
