CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES

PROHIBITED!The removal of grounding prong can lead to electrical hazard. If 

necessary, properly install an approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet 

having 2-pronged plug access.

PROHIBITED! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the 

charger directly into a properly wired standard electrical outlet.

PROHIBITED! Do not allow unsupervised children to play near the scooter while the 

batteries are charging. 

MANDATORY! Read the battery charging instructions in this manual and in the 

manual supplied with the battery charger before charging the batteries.

WARNING! Explosive gases may be generated while charging the batteries. Provide 

adequate ventilation while charging the batteries. Keep the scooter and battery 

charger away from sources of ignition, such as flames or sparks.

WARNING! You must recharge your scooter batteries with the supplied off-board 

charger. Do not use an automotive-type battery charger.
WARNING! Inspect the battery charger, wiring, and connectors for damage before 

each use. Contact your authorised provider if any damage is found.
WARNING! Do not attempt to open the battery charger case. If the battery charger 

does not appear to be working correctly, contact your authorized Provider.
WARNING! Be aware that the battery charger case may become hot during 

charging. Avoid skin contact and do not place on surfaces that may be affected by 

heat.

WARNING! If the battery charger is exposed to adverse or extreme weather 

conditions, then it must be allowed to adjust to the difference in environmental 

conditions before use indoors. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery 

charger for more information.

The battery charger is designed especially for your scooter. 

It is not suitable for any other powered mobility product.
