BATTERIES AND BATTERY CHARGING

The Shoprider® Flagship ™ scooter must be equipped with two maintenance-free, sealed lead acid or gel batteries. The batteries are installed underneath the seat and rear chassis cover. Battery life and performance may be affected by temperature, terrain, condition of battery, the weight of the user, and care of batteries. The battery level indicator is only a guide and is most effective when the scooter is moving, only then is the true discharge level displayed.

•When the scooter stops the battery level indicator may indicate full.

•An active user can use up to 30% of battery capacity or more per day.

•Inactive users may only use 50% of battery capacity in a week.

•In both these instances the battery should be put on charge over night.

Keeping the batteries charged will extend the life of the batteries

First Time Use

Prior to using your Shoprider® Flagship ™ scooter for the first time, you must charge the batteries fully (refer to Battery Charging Procedures). Complete charging may take up to 12 hours. Charging the batteries completely prior to first time use will benefit battery efficiency and extend battery life. Failure to do so may cause damage.

Charging

The Shoprider® Flagship ™ scooter has a built in 3-pin charger port located on the right side of the tiller next to the key switch. To charge the batteries connect the 3-pin male plug lead into the 3-pin female battery-charging socket on the tiller. Plug the charger A/C cord plug into the wall socket. The battery charger has two indicator lights. The red light shows the power is on. The second light shows yellow/gold while charging, and when the light turns green the batteries are fully charged. Once the batteries are completely charged, unplug the A/C cord from the wall then unplug the 3-pin lead from the charger port.

WARNING: Only use the original Shoprider approved charger!

This charger is for indoor use only. DO NOT expose it to rain or water spray.

Do not leave the charger plugged into the charger port if the charger is not charging.
