General Safety Precautions
2.2
Important Operating Information
Several operating considerations are listed below:
•
Always turn the key switch and motor stop switch to the
OFF position when not actively riding. It is very easy to
forget that the motorcycle is powered up because it is
silent. An accident can occur if the motorcycle is left
powered up while getting on or off the motorcycle.
•
Turn the motor stop switch OFF when backing up or
pushing the motorcycle while dismounted.
•
Use the rear brake when you are stopped on an incline.
Do not hold the motorcycle using partial throttle or
damage to the motor may occur
.
•
Plug your motorcycle into an AC power source to
recharge it after each use. Once recharged, disconnect
from the AC power source. Leaving your motorcycle
unplugged between charges will maximize the
long-term health of the power pack. You should also
use the supplied cable as it is designed for use with
your motorcycle’s electrical components.
•
While unplugged with the key in the OFF position, the
motorcycle’s electronics will consume a very small
amount of power and the power pack will drain
extremely slowly. If you don’t ride for an extended
period of time (30 days or more), you may want to plug
the motorcycle into an AC power source to charge it for
a few hours prior to your next ride.
CAUTION: Charge the Zero power pack with the
motorcycle’s on-board charger or the approved Zero
accessory charger.
•
The power pack does not require nor benefit from deep
discharging. To get the most power pack life, recharge
each power pack immediately after each ride. Leaving
a power pack in a discharged state will cause damage.
•
Failure to follow power pack storage and charging
instructions as described in this Zero Motorcycles
Owner’s Manual may void the warranty of your Zero
motorcycle. These guidelines have been rigorously
tested to ensure maximum power pack efficiency and
service.
