Batteries
For maintenance see the following documentation:
Regulations concerning the batteries
User manual for the battery charger, or the instructions on
the battery charger
The scooter must be equipped with gel batteries. These batteries are entirely
sealed and maintenance free.
A sticker shows the connection diagram of the batteries. This sticker is placed
on the inside of the cover of the battery compartment.
Make sure that the batteries are always well charged.
Do not use the scooter if the batteries are almost depleted. This
may damage the batteries and you run the risk of coming to an
unintended stop. The use of 'wet/lead acid' batteries is not
permitted. If the batteries need to be replaced, gel batteries must be
used.
6.1.2
Replacing the batteries
If the capacity of the batteries is reduced to the
extent that the scooter can only make very
short trips or even none at all, the batteries are
at the end of their life span. Replace them as
soon as possible.
Contact your dealer: he knows
exactly which batteries are most
suitable for your scooter.
We also recommend battery
replacement should be carried out
by your dealer.
Replace the batteries as follows:
•
Switch off the scooter (remove the jack key
from the jack key receptacle).
•
Remove the seat. See 'Removing the seat’.
•
Remove the lock (A) from the front of the
battery cover (in top diagram).
•
Disconnect the red and the black battery
connectors from the battery (A) (in lower
diagram).
•
Loosen the straps, which hold the batteries
by squeezing in the clasps (B).
