KEEPING THE AMIGO CHARGED
Charger Operating Instructions
Charge With Standard Outlet
Park the Amigo near a grounded AC electrical outlet. Turn the power “OFF” before charging. Charging cord is located on back of the
seat. Plug the end into the AC electrical outlet. Ensure the end of the cord is secure in the outlet. Park the Amigo close enough to
the outlet so the AC cord is not stretched to its full capacity.
Charge with optional Amigo SmartCharge Station
Park the Amigo in front of the wall mounted Amigo SmartCharge
station (Figure 4). Pull out the individual cord from the charging station and
plug into the Shopper. Do not pull cord beyond red mark.
Tracking Battery Life
Observe the battery gauge on the handle control panel. The battery
gauge is a six bar design showing battery charge level. Bars will stay
lit to show charge level. If the batteries are at 50% charge, 3 bars will
be lit. When charging, the bars in the gauge will blink for approximately
30-45 seconds and then go solid as the charge cycle begins. As the
charge level goes up, more bars light up until all bars are lit. At the end
of the charge cycle, the bars will blink again signaling the batteries
are fully charged. Cart will emit audio chirp along with one blinking bar
when batteries need charging.
• For the very first charge, fully charge for nine (9) hours
or overnight if possible.
•
CHARGE WHEN NOT IN USE FOR BEST BATTERY LIFE.
Remember:
It is best to keep the batteries fully charged. Extended charging
is encouraged
and will not overcharge or harm the
batteries.
As a safety feature, driving functions are disabled while in the charging mode. Shoppers will not drive when charge
cord is plugged in.
Assuring Long Battery Life & Warranty Protection
Establish a regular procedure for charging all Shoppers to assure they have been fully charged. A multiple outlet strip
with a “POWER ON” indicator light could be used. Do not exceed outlet rating. Chargers draw approximately 2 amps
each until batteries are charged.
If the Shopper slows down and eventually loses all power within a day's use – and all other systems appear to be functioning
normally – the batteries may need replacing. For maximum Shopper performance, we recommend purchasing batteries
direct from the factory; threaded posts are used and are not locally available. (Refer to "Battery Specifications" on pg. 5).
Battery Care Recommendations
• It is highly recommended that you keep Amigo plugged in while waiting for service.
• Discharged batteries left sitting can be damaged to the point of non-recovery.
Amigo warranty covers batteries for defects in product workmanship only. Inadequate/improper charging
will cause batteries to sulfate prematurely and is not covered under warranty.
