BATTERIES AND CHARGING

Your scooter requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. They are recharged by an off-board charging system.

Charge your scooter’s batteries prior to using it for the first time.

Keep the batteries fully charged to keep your scooter running smoothly.

READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE

The battery condition meter on the tiller console indicates the approximate strength of your batteries using a color code. From right to left, green indicates fully charged batteries, yellow indi- cates a draining charge, and red indicates that an immediate recharge is necessary. See figure 10. To ensure the highest accu- racy, the battery condition meter should be checked while operat- ing your scooter at full speed on a dry, level surface.

CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES

 

PROHIBITED! Removal of grounding prong can

PROHIBITED! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the charger directly into a properly wired standard electrical outlet.

PROHIBITED! Do not allow unsupervised children to play near the scooter while the batteries are charging. Pride recommends that you do not charge the batteries while the scooter is occupied.

MANDATORY! Read the battery charging instructions in this manual and in the manual supplied with the battery charger before charging the batteries.

WARNING! Explosive gases may be generated while charging the batteries. Keep the scooter and battery charger away from sources of ignition such as flames or sparks and provide adequate ventilation when charging the batteries.

WARNING! You must recharge your scooter’s batteries with the supplied off-board charger. Do not use an automotive-type battery charger.

WARNING! Inspect the battery charger, wiring, and connectors for damage before each use. Contact your authorized Pride Provider if damage is found.

WARNING! 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! If the battery charger is equipped with cooling slots, then do not attempt to insert objects through these slots.

WARNING! Be aware that the battery charger case may become hot during charging. Avoid skin contact and do not place on surfaces that may be affected by heat.

WARNING! If your battery charger has not been tested and approved for outdoor use, then do not expose it to adverse or extreme weather conditions. If the battery charger is exposed to adverse or extreme weather conditions, then it must be allowed to adjust to the difference in environmental conditions before use indoors. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for more information.
