SECTION 10—BATTERIES
Charging the Batteries
WARNING
NEVER attempt to recharge the batteries by attaching cables directly to the battery terminals or clamps.
DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries and operate the powered scooter at the same time.
Only use the provided charger with this product.
CAUTION
New batteries MUST be fully charged prior to initial use of the powered scooter.
DO NOT sit in the scooter while recharging the batteries.
ALWAYS charge new batteries before initial use or battery life will be reduced.
As a general rule, you should recharge your batteries as frequently as possible to assure the longest possible life and to minimize required charging time. Plan to recharge them when you do not anticipate using the powered scooter.
The range per battery charge using recommended batteries should be approximately five to nine hours of typical operation. Extensive use on inclines may substantially reduce per charge mileage.
WARNING
If the circuit breaker trips repeatedly, IMMEDIATELY unplug charger and contact dealer or a qualified technician.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 10.4.
NOTE: The powered scooter is designed with an electrical lockout to prevent it from being driven while the charger is plugged into an outlet.
NOTE: Always charge the batteries completely until the battery charger light turns GREEN.
