5. Do not switch off, unplug or interrupt the recharge cycle until the charging cycle has
completed. Make sure that the charger indicator light is green before you unplug your
charger.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS INSTRUCTION CAN RESULT IN OVERCHARGING THE
BATTERIES .
DO NOT operate your scooter in extreme weather conditions, i.e. very heavy rain or snow.
DO NOT drive through deep water. This could damage the main electronic controller.
MOTOR BRAKES – If the motor brakes are functioning correctly, you will not be able to push your
machine when it is switched off or switched on with the speed control throttle in the neutral
position.
If your scooter can be pushed as described above, the motor brake(s) may be faulty. Please do
not use the scooter and contact your Shoprider dealer immediately.
SAFETY NOTE : For your own safety, we recommend that you check the function of your scooter
brakes prior to a journey.
DRIVING BRAKE – When you drive your scooter and let go of the speed control throttle, your
scooter should reduce speed very quickly. If you notice a change in the normal driving/slowing
condition and your scooter does not slow down quickly, please do not use your scooter and contact
your Shoprider dealer.
TIRES – Your scooter comes with air filled tires. Check air pressure condition of your tires
regularly. Look for signs of wear, cuts and foreign objects lodged in the tread. Correct tire pressure
is 20-35 psi, depending on user.
CAUTION: Your scooter has split wheel rims. DO NOT remove wheel bolts.
BATTERIES – Keep your batteries well charged (see Battery Charging section). Keep batteries
clean and in a dry frost-proof place. Keep battery terminals tight.
IMPORTANT: It is not possible to predict the life expectancy of your batteries. This is mainly due to
different workloads to which a battery may be subjected.
Some scooter users will use their scooter every day, and for long periods of time. Their batteries
will receive a near total discharge, and the life of their batteries will be short (12 months or less in
some cases). Other scooter users will use their vehicles less frequently, putting their batteries
through a less demanding discharge lifestyle. These batteries will probably have a longer life (12 to
24 months or longer).
When you need to replace the batteries, always insist on the model fitted as standard equipment to
your scooter. If in doubt, consult your local Shoprider authorized dealer.
