 Suggestion 

1.

 

Do not disconnect the charger cord if charging is not completed.  The battery life will be 
seriously  shortened  or  decayed  if  the  battery  is  repeatedly  used  without  being  fully 
charged.  Therefore be sure to charge the battery fully every time. 

2.

 

Always complete the charging until the orange LED light turns green. NEVER stop charging 
before it is complete. 

3.

 

When  fully  charged,  the  battery  charger  will  still  trickle  charge  the  battery  to  ensure 
optimum range.  

4.

 

If you do not use your scooter for a long time, it should be charged at least once a week to 
keep the battery in a fully usable condition.  

5.

 

Charging time will be affected by the ambient temperature. Charging time will be longer in 
the winter. 

6.

 

After charging, do not leave the charger socket plugged in to the scooter - this will cause a 
power drain on the scooter and temporarily reduce its range. 

7.

 

The batteries carry a six-month manufacturer's warranty. This warranty only covers issues 
relating to manufacturing faults, and not faults relating to failure to recharge the batteries 
as instructed above. 

8.

 

Should range or power problems arise, please charge your scooter for 24 hours continually 
and then retry the scooter.

 

 Attention:  Please follow the rules below to avoid accidents while charging  

Please use the charger provided only, and recharge the battery to its full capacity every time.  
You  may  damage  the  battery  and  scooter  if  you  use  a  charger  which  is  not  to  the  correct 
specification. 

1.

 

Never disassemble or modify the charger.    

2.

 

Please charge in a well-ventilated space where it is not directly exposed to the sunlight. Do 
not charge in humid or wet surroundings. 

3.

 

Do not charge in temperatures less than -10°C or higher than +50°C as the charger may 
not work well and the batteries may become damaged. 

 

 Warning 

1.

 

Keep  away  from  flammable  objects  while  charging  due  to  danger  of  fire  or  explosion  of 
batteries. 

2.

 

Do  not  smoke  while  charging  the  batteries.  Always  charge  your  batteries  in  a 
well-ventilated area. 

3.

 

Never  connect  or  disconnect  the  plug  or  cord  with  wet  hands  whilst  charging.    Do  not 
connect or disconnect the plug or cord when wet as this may cause an electric shock
