Your scooter requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. They
are recharged by an off-board charging system.
!
Charge your scooter’s batteries prior to using it for the first time.
!
Keep the batteries fully charged to keep your scooter running smoothly.
CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES
PROHIBITED! Removal of grounding prong can create electrical hazard. If necessary,
properly install an approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet having 2-pronged
plug access.
PROHIBITED! Never use an extension lead 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 batteries
are charging. Pride recommends that you do not charge the batteries 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 batteries.
WARNING! Explosive gases may be generated while charging the batteries. Keep the scooter
and battery charger away from sources of ignition such as flames or sparks and provide
adequate ventilation when charging the batteries.
WARNING! You must recharge your scooter’s batteries 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 authorised Pride Provider 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 authorised Pride Provider.
WARNING! If the battery charger is equipped with cooling slots, then do not attempt to
insert objects through these slots.
WARNING! If your battery charger has not been tested and approved for outdoor use, then
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.
READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE
The battery condition meter on the tiller console indicates the approxi-
mate strength of your batteries using a colour code. From right to left,
green indicates fully charged batteries, yellow a draining charge, and red
indicates that an immediate recharge is necessary. See figure 11. To en-
sure the highest accuracy, the battery condition meter should be checked
while operating your scooter at full speed on a dry, level surface.
