If your Jazzy is equipped with an off-board charger, follow these instructions:
1. Position your Jazzy next to a standard wall outlet.
2. Be certain the controller power is turned off.
3. Remove the run plug located on the utility tray. This activates the inhibit function.
4. Plug the 3-pin extension cable into the charger, then into the utility tray connector.
5. Plug the charger into the wall outlet.
6. The ammeter indicates how much charge is needed to fully charge the batteries. Wait about a minute for
the charger to warm up. The ammeter should move all the way up to 5 amps, then gradually move back
down to 0 amps.
7. We recommend you charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours. As the batteries charge, the ammeter needle
slowly drops to zero. When the batteries are fully charged, the needle vibrates on or near zero on the
ammeter scale.
8. When your Jazzy 1105s batteries are fully charged, disconnect the charger cord from the wall outlet.
9. Disconnect the charger from the rear utility tray.
10. Reconnect the run plug into its connector.
Note: If the run plug is not reconnected, your Jazzy will not run.
11. Replace the rear cover.

BATTERY BREAK-IN
To break in new batteries for maximum efficiency:
1. Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This
brings the battery up to about 90% of its peak performance
level.
2. Operate your Jazzy 1105 about the house and yard. Move
slowly at first, and dont stray too far until you become
accustomed to the controls and break in the batteries.
3. Give the batteries another full charge of 8 to 14 hours and
operate your Jazzy 1105 again. The batteries should now
perform at over 90% of their potential.
4. After four or five charging cycles, the batteries top off at
100% charge and last for an extended period.
