1. Turn the key to OFF and take it out.
2. Open the protecting flap of the charging socket.
3. Insert the plug of the charger into the charging socket of the scooter.
4. Insert the mains plug of the charger into the power socket. Switch the charger to ON (a few
models have no ON/OFF switch; with these the loading device starts operating automatically
when you insert the mains cable).
5. The charger now starts to charge and the LED (orange) will be lit, which indicates that it is
busy charging.
6. Once the charging process is complete, the LED (orange) turns green, thereby indicating that
loading is complete.
7. First switch off the charger (if there is no ON/OFF switch, pull out the mains plug).
8. Pull out the charger plug from the charging socket of the scooter. Your scooter is again ready
for use.

Charge your scooter’s batteries strictly in accordance with the description above. If you charge
the batteries too early, they will gradually lose capacity, thus cutting your scooter’s traveling
range.

The manufacturer shall decline all liability for damage caused by incorrect charging.

Use only genuine original batteries. We do not accept any liability for damage caused by using
batteries not supplied by us.

Do not expose the batteries to temperatures below 5° Celsius or above 50° Celsius.

If the batteries are opened, all liability of the manufacturer is voided as well as any claim.
If you decide not to use your scooter for a prolonged period, you must nevertheless recharge it
regularly to keep it in a running condition ready for immediate use.

If the batteries are not being used for a prolonged period, they will discharge slowly by
themselves (in-depth discharging). Then it becomes impossible to recharge them with the
supplied battery charger. When batteries are not in use, they must be recharged at least every
4 to 8 weeks (depending on the charge indicator).

Note that if you recharge the batteries too frequently, they will eventually lose their capacity
irretrievably.

Use only the supplied battery charger and no other charging equipment.

The manufacturer shall decline all liability for damage caused by improper charging.

In every case the charging cycle must not be interrupted. The battery charger has an indicator
showing you when the charging cycle has been completed.
