BATTERY CHARGE
9.1. HOW TO CHARGE THE BATTERY
To charge, place the BATTERY in a safe place away from people and flammable objects and proceed as described
below.
USE ONLY THE APPROPRIATE BATTERY CHARGER
CHARGE PROCEDURE
CAREFULLY READ THE BATTERY CHARGER INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL.
Charge the battery before each use, allowing it to cool before inserting it into the Scooter; during this phase the
battery could release hydrogen which would inevitably accumulate inside the airtight scooter.
The accumulation of hydrogen (in special conditions) could cause accidents, with injuries to people and things.
Extreme temperatures can affect the battery's charging capacity.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold climates, such as a closed car in mid-summer or mid-winter, reduces battery
capacity and life. Always try to keep the batteries between 15 ° C (59 ° F) and 25 ° C (77 ° F). Battery performance
is significantly reduced in temperatures below 0 ° C (32 ° F).
Charging must take place in an appropriate place: covered and ventilated, away from flammable objects or liquids,
away from crowded rooms:
1. Remove the battery from the Scooter. When the battery is removed, disconnect the red connector;
2. The battery must be connected to the charger by means of the appropriate connector (26).
THE BATTERY SHOULD BE CHARGED ONLY THROUGH THE CONNECTOR (26),
IT IS FORBIDDEN TO USE THE CONNECTION (RED) CONNECTOR TO THE
MOTOR: DANGER OF FIRE, EXPLOSION, SERIOUS DAMAGE OR DEATH.
Unscrew the plug of the charging connector (24) (fig.1);
Connect the charging connector (26) to the charger (see charger instructions);
Connect the power supply socket of the battery charger to the mains;
Do not connect any other device to the battery while charging;
During charging, the battery should be kept outside the Scooter (the battery must, in fact, be inserted and
connected to the motor only immediately before use and removed from the Scooter immediately after use);
If, however, the battery should be recharged from inside the Scooter it must first be disconnected from the motor
(by disconnecting the red connector) and it must be taken into account that the charging phase naturally
determines a certain development of heat: it must be taken care of perform the operation to make sure that the
temperature and ventilation conditions are such as to effectively dispose of the heat produced and avoid the
abnormal overheating of the battery;
Once charging is complete, disconnect (in order) the charger from its main power source and battery;
Once charging is complete, NEVER leave the charger connected to the BATTERY;
After charging, allow the battery to cool down before inserting it into the Scooter.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS DURING THE CHARGING PHASE
NEVER stop charging the battery: partial charges damage the battery and reduce
the autonomy of the battery itself!
WARNING!
At the end of the charge and before each dive, make sure that the cap (6A - Fig.1)
is closed correctly (HAND TIGHTEN WITHOUT FORCE).
Before screwing the cap (6A), check that the O-Ring and its seat are clean and
adequately lubricated with petroleum jelly.
