Torque specifications for common parts: 

Nuts and bolts for your bicycle are set to standard torque settings 

at the factory. Over time of use and shipping, settings may change and nut or bolt could become loose. Below is a chart on the

Chapter 8: Battery Management 

This section describes your battery and similar to Chapter 3, 

section o. “Charging your battery” but goes into further detail. 

 

a)

 

About your battery

 

The Li-ion battery system of the Mariner 500 is the latest technology with a LiFEPO4 chemistry. This battery is maintenance 
free with no serviceable parts. You must never open the battery as this will void the warranty. Each battery has a specific serial 
number and barcode which can be found on the underside of the battery. Please read the warning labels on your battery. 

 

b)

 

Removing the battery 

The Mariner 500 battery removes easily for charging or storing. The battery base utilizes an ignition key to lock the battery in place 
and to avoid theft. The battery will not power the bicycle unless locked in place. There are 3 points on the ignition for the key. 

There is the “UNLOCK” position which allows the battery to be removed and the key can slide in and out. There is the “OFF” 

position which locks the battery in place, the key can be slid out but the bicycle is not powered. The last position is the “ON” 
position. The bicycle is now powered ON, the battery is locked and the key is in and cannot slide out.
