XI. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Charger and Batteries
The Batteries are under the rear
shroud. The charger is located in the
pocket on the back of the scooter seat.
To charge the batteries, plug the charger
into the tiller and the other end into a
standard wall outlet.
IMPORTANT! New batteries MUST be fully charged prior to the initial use of your scooter.
Charge new batteries for 12 hours even if the battery gauge already shows a full charge.
This is to condition your new batteries for maximum performance.
WARNING! Corrosive chemicals contained inside the battery.
Explosive battery conditions exist.
WARNING! Charger surface can become HOT.
Electrical hazard!
BATTERIES AND CHARGING
Battery maintenance is the most important part of maintaining your scooter. Keeping the batteries
fully charged helps to extend battery life. Use the following guidelines to help keep your batteries in
optimum condition.
• For daily use, keep batteries fully charged. We recommend that you plug in the off-board charger
after each use and charge 6-8 hours.
“For best results please charge your batteries overnight after every use.”
• If you are not going to use the scooter for more than a week, fully charge the batteries and then
disconnect them from the scooter. See “Disassembly”, page 24.
