Car
To transfer to a car, make a parallel approach to the side of the car, release the door latch and open the door as you drive
forward. Back parallel to the side of the car and into the door opening. Swivel the seat, lock it in position and carefully slide onto
the car seat. On the driver’s side, you can use the steering wheel for leverage.
Using an Elevator
Backing into an elevator allows you to exit forward. Be sure the elevator is level with the floor.
BATTERY & CHARGING INFORMATION
Battery Information
For maximum range and life, it is recommended to fully charge the batteries before using. Extended charging is good for the
batteries and will not overcharge them. Amigos have an overcharge protection feature so that the batteries can be charged
anytime the Amigo is not being used. It is a popular misconception that batteries should be deeply discharged before
recharging. This is not the proper procedure for all batteries. They can actually be damaged if they are discharged too deeply
before recharging.
Battery range can be affected by many variables, including driver weight, terrain, temperature and age and type of batteries.
Charge your batteries daily when the Amigo is used. Make sure that the charger cord is unplugged from the wall outlet before
moving your Amigo.
Batteries should be charged if the left most segment bar on the battery status gauge is lit and blinking, along with a low,
chirping of the horn, at one-minute intervals. At the beginning of the charging process, the battery indicator light on the handle
will flash for approximately 20 seconds, then it will turn solid color. The batteries are fully charged when the bar on the far right
is blinking. Your Amigo can be charged with the key in the ON or OFF position. The indication will display only while in the
charging mode (when power cord is plugged into AC outlet).
Charging Instructions for Amigo RT Express, RD and HD
1. Place your Amigo near an AC outlet.
2. Pull gently on the cord reel plug in the rear cover near the rear bumper.
3. Pull as much cord as needed (up to 10 feet/3 meters) to reach the AC outlet.
4. Connect the cord reel plug to the AC wall outlet.
5. Upon completion of the charging process, unplug the cord reel plug from the AC wall outlet.
6. Gently tug on the cord to engage the retraction reel. Do not push cord into the hole in the rear cover.
Charging Frequency
• Charge batteries daily when the Amigo is used.
• If not in use for a long period of time, charge for 24 hours, every 30 days.
• Extended charging is good for the batteries and will not overcharge them.
Universal Charger Option
A universal charger is available on many Amigos sold outside the United States. The universal charger uses a range of 90-240
volts AC power input. This makes it possible to charge on any electrical system globally. (The universal charger is an option on
models in the U.S. for people who travel abroad and want this universal charging flexibility.) Your charger is labeled, identifying
which charging system it uses.
DO NOT USE A 24V CHARGER THAT IS CONFIGURED TO A 120V AC POWER INPUT OUTSIDE THE U.S. IN COUNTRIES
USING 220V AC POWER INPUT. DAMAGE WILL OCCUR TO THE CHARGER.
