CHAPTER 4 – CHARGING 

 

Read Charger’s manual before using the charger..  

Warning: If you use a different charger, ask your dealer for 
instructions. 
 
CHARGING BATTERIES

 (See figure10) 

1. Insert first the Charging Plug (8) to the Charging Socket (9) located at 
the right side of the tiller box. 
2. Plug the power cord (10) of the charger into a wall outlet (11). 
3. When charging is completed and you are ready to go - unplug the 
charger cord (10) from the wall outlet (11) and then remove the charger 
plug (8) from the 

Breeze charging socket (9)

4.  In ideal storage conditions, batteries which were charged to full 
capacity and were not used should be recharged every 6 months. 
5. If you are planning not to use your 

Breeze

 for an extended period of 

time, we recommend charging it for two days and then disconnecting the 
batteries. 
6. If you have not used your 

Breeze

 for an extended period of time, 

charge the batteries for at least 24 hours before driving. 
 

 

Note: There is NO need to disconnect the Charging Plug promptly after 
the charging is complete.  

 

However, DO NOT leave the Charger connected to the batteries FOR 
MORE THAN TWO WEEKS. 

 

As long as the Charging Plug is in the Charger Socket, the electronic 
control of the 

Breeze

 automatically cuts all power to the electric 

system and the 

Breeze 

cannot be driven.
