For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 6.1 on page 26.
Battery Charge Display
The battery charge display is located at the top center of the control panel. When the scooter is turned on, the LEDs on the battery charge display light to indicate the amount of battery charge. The amount of battery charge is indicated by the number of LEDs that are lit. If the charge is full, all LEDs are lit. As the battery charge decreases, the LEDs turn Off. When only RED and YELLOW LEDs are lit, the batteries are draining and should be charged soon. When only RED LEDs are lit, the scooter is running on reserve battery power. Charge the batteries immediately. The scooter has an overcharge protection feature. When the scooter is running on reserve power, the scooter may turn Off automatically. If the scooter is not driven for a while, the batteries will recuperate and allow a short amount of driving time. After this, the RED LEDs will blink and the scooter will beep 3 times. If the LEDs do not light when the scooter is turned on, the batteries should be charged.
CAUTION
Keep batteries charged to avoid battery damage. Driving the scooter on reserve battery power leads to battery damage and should be avoided if possible.
