Indicator switch
•
This switch flashes the right hand side or left hand side indicators intermittently.
•
To use the indicators, push the switch in the required direction of travel (i.e. left or right) and
release the switch. To switch the indicators off, push the switch in and release.
•
Horn button
•
Press the horn button to sound the horn. Release the button to stop the horn from sounding.
•
Head light switch
•
Push the head light button to switch on the front and rear head lights. Push the button again to turn
the lights off.
•
Battery Indicator
•
When the ignition is switched on the battery gauge will illuminate to indicate the remaining
battery power by the number of segments lit on the battery gauge. The remaining power indicated
by the gauge will vary by the way you drive. Driving up inclines and repeated stopping and
starting will consume power more quickly.
•
If the battery gauge flashes but the scooter will still drive, then this indicates low battery power
and the batteries should be recharged immediately. If the battery gauge flashes and the scooter
will not drive, this indicates that a fault has been detected with the scooter. In this case seek advise
from your dealer.

Suggestion
1. You should recharge the batteries each time the vehicle is used to ensure maximum range and
optimal battery performance. If the scooter is stood idle, the batteries should still be charged once
a week to maintain battery performance.
2. After charging or replacing a new battery, drive the vehicle for 2 to 3 minutes to ensure the battery
capacity is sufficient. Then charge the battery immediately if not recently charged.
3. In wintertime, the battery may respond more slowly and battery range may be reduced. Cold
temperatures temporarily reduce battery performance.
4. When driving on a gradient, the battery gauge reading might fluctuate. This is a normal
phenomenon and there is no cause for concern.
5. Even if a battery is used properly, it is natural for the battery’s capacity to reduce with time, which
results in reduced battery range. The batteries should be replaced when you find the batteries
range is about only half of the range of when the batteries were performing optimally. Please see
your dealer about replacement batteries and the safe disposal of your old batteries. If you continue
to use the batteries, it is likely you will see a rapid decline in performance.
6. The battery range is reduced when driving frequently up gradients or on rough terrain, as this
causes greater power consumption.
