6.7 Frame
The frame of the Excel Roadster DX8 is fitted with impact resistant covers and bumpers on the front and back. The
advantage of the impact resistant covers is that these do not damage or break as soon as you hit something with
your scooter.
6.8
Battery
The Excel Roadster DX8 is equiped with two closed, maintenance free batteries. Van Os Medical recommends to
charge the batteries fully before first use. We advise you to do charge them for at least 12 continuous hours. The
charger inlet is located on the tiller (see photo 12). The batteries of the Excel Roadster DX8 can not be removed for
the purpose of charging.
6.8.1 Charging the batteries
To increase battery life, you should charge the batteries as follows;
•
Turn off the scooter;
•
Flip charger inlet cover up and plug the charger into the inlet on the back side of the tiller;
•
Plug the charger into the power outlet;
•
Do not turn on the charger before all plugs are plugged in correctly;
•
The LED light will be a amber yellow colour during charging;
•
When the batteries are fully charged, the LED light will turn green;
•
If you do not use the scooter for a week or longer, fully charge the batteries and disconnect them from
the scooter;
•
When the scooter is not used, keep the batteries in a frost free environment of at least +6 degrees Celsius.

Warning
Never put the scooter in freewheel setting when it is on an incline. This way you prevent the scooter from rolling
downwards unexpectedly.
