BATTERY CHARGING AND CARE

CHARGING THE BATTERY

Follow the procedure below step by step:

1.Turn the power switch to (OFF)

2.Connect the charger’s power cord into the power outlet.

3.Open the charging socket cap on the scooter’s tiller. Then connect the charger’s round plug to the charging socket.

4.Turn on the switch on the charger.

5.Both the charger’s red and orange LEDs will be lit when charging. The charging duration is about 6 hours. To ensure optimum performance a 10-hour charge is recommended. We do not recommend charging for more than 24 consecutive hours.

6.Both the charger’s LEDs will be lit during the charging process. The orange LED will turn green when charging is complete.

7.Turn off the charger; disconnect the power cord and the round plug from charger socket on the scooter.

SUGGESTION

1.Do not disconnect the charger cord if charging is not completed. The battery life will be seriously shortened or decayed if the battery is repeatedly used without being fully charged. Therefore be sure to charge the battery fully every time.

2.Always complete the charging until the orange LED light turns green. NEVER stop charging before it is complete.

3.When fully charged, the battery charger will still trickle charge the battery to ensure optimum range.

4.If you do not use your scooter for a long time, it should be charged at least every week to keep the battery in a fully usable condition.

5.The ambient temperature will affect charging time. Charging time will be longer in the winter.

6.After charging, do not leave the charger socket plugged in to the scooter, as this will cause a power drain on the scooter and temporarily reduce its range.

7.The batteries carry a twelve-month manufacturer's warranty. This warranty only covers issues relating to manufacturing faults, and not faults relating to failure to recharge the batteries as instructed above.
