BATTERIES AND CHARGING
Your scooter requires one long lasting, 36 volt Lithium-Ion battery that is sealed and maintenance-free.
„
Charge your scooter’s battery for at least 8 to 14 hours prior to using it for the first time.
„
Keep the battery fully charged to keep your scooter running smoothly.
READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE
The battery condition meter on the throttle console indicates the
approximate strength of your battery using a battery icon. At full charge,
the icon will display five (5) bars indicating a fully charged battery.
With continued use, the bars will begin to disappear as your charge
drains. Once the icon is down to displaying only one bar, an immediate
recharge is necessary. See figure 16. To ensure the highest accuracy, the
battery condition meter should be checked while operating your scooter
at full speed on a dry, level surface.
CHARGING YOUR BATTERY
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
battery is charging. We recommend that you do not charge the battery while the scooter
is occupied.
MANDATORY! Read the battery charging instructions in this manual and in the manual
supplied with the battery charger before charging the battery.
WARNING! Explosive gases may be generated while charging the battery. Keep the scooter
and battery charger away from sources of ignition such as flames or sparks and provide
adequate ventilation when charging the battery.
WARNING! You must recharge your scooter’s battery 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 authorized Dealer if 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 Dealer.
WARNING! If the battery charger is equipped with cooling slots, then do not attempt to
insert objects through these slots.
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! Your battery charger has not been tested and approved for outdoor use. Do not
expose it to adverse or extreme weather conditions. 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. Your scooter should only be charged in an area
where the room temperature is between 32°F/0°C and 113°F/45°C.
