V I . B AT 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 onboard 3-amp charging system designed for ease of use and convenience.

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

νKeep your batteries fully charged to keep your scooter running trouble free.

READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE

The battery condition meter on the control console assembly 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 recharge is necessary. See figure 8. 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

Follow these easy steps to charge your batteries safely:

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 (down) position.

4.Plug the charger power cord into the charger power cord receptacle.

5.Plug the charger power cord into a standard wall outlet.

Figure 8. Battery Condition Meter

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

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

NOTE: There is a charger inhibit function on your scooter. The scooter will not run and the battery condition meter will not operate while the batteries are charging.

The onboard battery charger is equipped with two Light Emit- ting Diodes (LEDs). You can check the charge status of the batteries during charging by looking at the LEDs. See figure 9.

νA lit Red LED indicates the batteries are charging.

νA lit Green LED indicates the batteries are fully charged.

NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the rear shroud while charging the batteries. The charger LEDs can be viewed through the cutout in the right side of the rear shroud.
