BATTERIES AND CHARGING

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.

Figure 11. Battery Condition LED

READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE

The battery condition LED on the tiller console indicates the approximate

strength of your batteries. To ensure the highest accuracy, the battery

condition LED should be checked while operating your scooter at full

speed on a dry, level surface.

See figures 11 and 12

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 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

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 authorized 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 authorized

Pride Provider.

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.
