WARNING!
Use of a non-grounded receptacle could result in an electrical shock.
Use the following to charge batteries of your Rascal
scooter.
1.
Park the vehicle near a 3-Prong Grounded Electrical
Receptacle.
2.
Lift the trunk lid and remove the power cord from the
trunk area. Plug power cord into a 3-Prong Grounded
Electrical Receptacle.
3.
Check that the needle of the ammeter in the trunk
area registers greater than 1 to ensure that vehicle is
in charge mode. If batteries are fully charged and
have not discharged sufficiently (approx. 2.5% to
5%), the needle on the ammeter will remain at 0, as
shown in Illustration 3 and the needle on the Battery
Level Indicator on the dash will be located to the
extreme right of the green area indicating a full
charge on the battery (and no charging is required).
4.
Normal charging time is generally 8-10 hours for fully
discharged batteries. The batteries are fully charged
when the needle of the ammeter is at 0. We do not
recommend that you leave your vehicle in charge
mode. There is no added benefit after batteries have
been fully charged.
5.
Disconnect the power plug of the charger from the
wall outlet and return it to the trunk area. Close trunk
lid before proceeding.
Note:
Vehicle will not operate while in charge mode.
