VI. BATTERIES & CHARGING
CHARGING YOUR SCOOTER
To charge your scooter, position the front of the unit next to a standard electrical outlet. Be certain the
power is turned off. Plug the charger into the scooter, and then into the electrical outlet. When the
batteries are fully charged remove the charger from the scooter.
SUGGESTION
–
The lights on your charger indicate different charge statuses. The light indicators can be
found on the charger itself, or the manual provided with the charger. In most cases your charger will
show a red light when charging, and a green light when fully charged.
INITIAL BATTERY CHARGE
To ensure maximum use from your new batteries fully charge the scooter prior to initial use for 8 to 12
hours. Operate your scooter until the battery gauge shows half capacity, and then give your scooter
another full charge for 8 to 12 hours.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE & CHARGING HABITS
To ensure maximum life from your batteries, and continued use of your scooter please follow these
charging guidelines based on your usage:
SUGGESTION
–
If you use your scooter on a daily basis, charge the batteries as soon as you are finished
with the
day’s activities, and leave it
on the charge until you are ready to use the following day.
SUGGESTION
–
If you use your scooter infrequently, charge the batteries once a week up to 12 hours.
BATTERY RANGE
There are many factors that affect the range of your batteries, including the surfaces, inclines, curves, or
wind you encounter when operating your scooter. If not ideal conditions, all of these factors will reduce
the travel time or distance between charges. Follow these suggestions for maximum range:
SUGGESTION
–
Fully charge the batteries prior to any trip, and plan your trip in advance to avoid
inclines.
SUGGESTION
–
Limit baggage and accessory weight to essential items, and maintain an even speed
avoiding stop-and-go driving.
