V I . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G

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

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

νKeep 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. Green indicates fully charged batteries, yellow a draining charge, and red indicates that an immediate re- charge is necessary. See figure 9. To ensure the highest accuracy, the battery condition meter should be checked while operating your scooter at full speed on a dry, level surface.

CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES

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

PROHIBITED! Removal of the grounding prong can create an electrical hazard. If necessary, properly install an approved 3-pronged 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 cord are clean and dry before plugging the charger power cord into the off-board battery charger port or the wall socket.

Charging the batteries on the scooter:

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 position.

4.Plug the 3-pin charger power cord (see figure 10) into the battery charging port. See figure 8.

5.Extend the charger power cord and plug it into the wall outlet.

7.It is recommended that you charge your batteries for 8 to 14 hours.

8.When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the charger power cord from the wall outlet and then from the charger power cord receptacle.

9.Replace the charger power cord receptacle cover.
