BATTERY CHARGING AND CARE

BATTERY

Do not expose the battery to temperatures below 50°F or above 122°F when charging or storing the vehicle. Under the above temperature range can cause the battery either to freeze or over heat. This will damage the batteries and shorten their life.

These batteries are maintenance free and there is no need to refill with water.

You are required to recharge the batteries on a regular basis. Even if the scooter is left idle, you should charge the batteries at least once a week.

WARNING

Do not open the battery sealed cap at any time.

CLEANING THE BATTERY

If the batteries are contaminated by water, battery acid, dust or other substances, they will discharge quickly. The batteries supplied with your scooter are sealed and as such are maintenance free with no risk of battery leakage. Please follow the steps below to clean the battery.

1.Turn the scooter power switch to “OFF”.

2.Remove the seat and dust cover.

3.Remove the shroud and unplug the terminal of the tail light and signal lights.

4.Use a clean cloth to wipe off the soiled area.

5.Take out the battery.

6.Clean the battery with a clean cloth. If the terminal is covered by white powder, please wipe it clean using warm water.

SUGGESTIONS

If necessary, ask for help from your dealer for advice about maintaining and replacing the battery.

SUGGESTIONS

1.Make sure the terminals are installed properly and put the cover back on.

2.Do not use the battery to charge telecom equipment or other items.

3.Battery efficiency will vary with outside conditions; the driving distances will be shorter in the winter. If the vehicle is not used for a long time, please charge the battery at least every week.

4.Replace both batteries together.
