Pride Mobility XL-8 V . B A T T E R I E S A N D, C H A R G I N G, Reading Your Battery Voltage

V . B A T T E R I E S A N D

Your scooter requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. They are recharged by an off- board charging system.

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

!Keep the batteries fully charged to keep your scooter running smoothly.

READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE

The battery condition meter on the tiller console indicates the approxi- mate strength of your batteries using a colour code. See figure 11. Green indicates fully charged batteries, yellow a draining charge, and red indicates that an immediate recharge is necessary.

NOTE: 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

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

PROHIBITED! Removal of grounding prong can create electrical hazard. If necessary, properly install an approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet having 2-pronged plug access. Failure to heed could result in personal injury and/ or property damage.
