Battery Charger 

The battery charger is a 3-amp switch type off board. The battery charging 
port is located on the battery pack (

Fig. 11

). This special feature allows the 

batteries to be charged independently of the main scooter. 
Before using our scooter for the first time be sure to fully charge the batteries, 
this may take up to 12 hours. 
To charge the batteries connect the 3-pin male charger plug into the charging 
socket on the battery pack. Plug the 3-pin mains plug into a wall socket and 
switch on. The battery charger has two lights. A constant red light will show 
when the battery charger is connected (this will flash if there is a break in the 
connection). The flashing green light indicates that the batteries are receiving 
charge, this will change to solid green when the charging cycle is complete. 
Turn off the mains power before unplugging the charger from the battery 
pack. 
 

Caution! Do not charge the batteries for longer than 12 hours. Always 
charge the batteries in a well-ventilated indoor area. You must still 
maintain charging the batteries even if the scooter is not to be used for 
a prolonged period of time (2 to 3 weeks). Failure to do so could result in 
permanent damage and render the batteries unusable. Wherever 
possible do not interrupt the charge cycle until the batteries are fully 
charged. Continual interruption can permanently damage the batteries. 
If the charging lead should get damaged discontinue use immediately 
and seek a replacement from your dealer. ONLY USE THE CHARGER 
SUPPLIED WITH YOUR SCOOTER. Do not leave the charger plugged 
into to the charger port after the charge is complete. ALWAYS remove 
the keys from the scooter when charging. 

 

Disposing and recycling of used batteries 

Batteries must always be recycled correctly. Do not dispose of them with your 
domestic refuge. 
For further information regarding your nearest recycling facility please contact 
your local authority.  
 

Maintenance 

Product Life Expectancy 

Your scooter has been designed to provide the user with a long, reliable life 
provided it is correctly maintained and regularly serviced by an authorised 
dealer. However, due to inevitable wear and tear and technological 
improvements it is recommended that the average useable life of this scooter 
is five years. 
 

Cleaning 

The shrouds and seat of the scooter should be cleaned using a damp cloth 
and gentle detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as this will 
damage the plastic components. Do not spray water (

hose or pressure 

washer) 

onto the scooter as this may cause damage to the electronics.
