ENGLISH
• The battery capacity is displayed when charging is complete.
• Only disconnect the battery charger cable from the wall socket when the batteries are
completely charged.
Only charge the batteries with the key in the OFF position (switched off).
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Continuous cycle GEL or AGM and SLA batteries are used for the scooters.
• These batteries do not require maintenance;
•
There is no risk of leakage or spills, so these batteries can be transported safely on aircraft,
buses, trains, etc.;
• The battery lifetime should be prolonged if you follow the procedures indicated in this manual.
Note: Do not use car batteries on this scooter, as they are not designed to be totally discharged
and are not safe for use on a scooter. A battery’s lifetime often depends on its care.
IF THE BATTERY TERMINALS ARE CORRODED
• Corrosion can cause a poor electrical connection or operating problems;
• Clean corroded batteries with a stiff brush and a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and water.
16.6 Charging the battery
The battery charger functions at the normal voltage of a socket (alternating current) and
converts it into V DC (direct current). The batteries use direct current to operate the scooter.
When the batteries are completely charged, the amperage of the battery charger is almost at
zero. This allows the battery charger to maintain the charge but not overcharge the battery.
Notes:
• The batteries cannot be charged if they have discharged almost to zero voltage.
• Always charge the batteries in a well-ventilated place.
• The battery charger is only for internal use. Protect it against humidity.
•
To obtain maximum performance, it is recommended to replace both batteries
simultaneously when they are discharged.
• If the vehicle is not used for a lengthy period of time, it is advisable to charge the batteries
at least once a month to avoid deterioration.
16.7 If the scooter does not work
• Check that the wheel unlocking lever is in the locked position;
• Check the automatic main switch. Reset the automatic switch if necessary;
• Check that the speed selector is set to the desired mode;
• Check that the ignition is in the “On” position.
If none of the above procedures solves the problem, contact an authorised retailer.
AUTOMATIC MAIN SWITCH
WARNING!
Do not attempt to carry out do-it-yourself electrical repairs. Consult your local retailer.
If the scooter should stop working, for no apparent reason, it could be that the automatic main
switch has tripped.
