Connection Instructions
When you receive your vehicle the batteries are only
partially charged – always fully charge them before
use, preferably over-night.
1. Place your machine in an area that is dry and
well ventilated.
Make sure a power point is nearby.
2. Check the vehicle is switched off and the
key removed.
3. Check the mains switch is off.
Never connect
or disconnect the charger from the scooter with the
mains on.
4. Connect the charger to the charging point
on the tiller of the scooter as above.
5. Connect the mains plug and switch on.
6. The lamp illuminates red when the charger
is powered up and charging has started (this
lamp will flash red if there is a battery fault or
the charging plug has not been properly pushed
into the charging socket).
The LED will show
green when the scooter batteries are fully charged.
7. Switch off the mains and remove the
charging plug from the scooter charging
socket when fully charged.
Do not leave the
charger plugged in with the power off. This may
gradually discharge your batteries.
The batteries are the lifeblood of your vehicle. Their
characteristics can change depending on charging,
temperature, usage and other factors. Listed below
are guidelines to prolong battery life.
1. After using your vehicle always charge it at
the end of the day
even after a short journey.
2. If you do not use your vehicle for a
prolonged period, place it on charge once a
week, overnight.
3. Always use the correct charger as supplied
with your scooter.
4. If the batteries have been flat for a long time
(about 2 months) it is recommended you contact
your dealer before charging.
5. Do not charge the vehicle in the open / out
of doors
– it may rain and the battery charger is
not waterproof.
6. Keep the vehicle in a well-ventilated area
and away from any naked flame.
7. Do not part charge the batteries.
Allow the
charger to complete its cycle.
