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
.

If you plan on riding again the next day or the power
pack’s state of charge is less than 30%, plug your
motorcycle into an AC power source to recharge it.
Always use the supplied charging cable as it has been
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 the motorcycle has been unused for
more than 30 days, turn the key switch to the ON
position and back to OFF to exit long term storage
mode and then allow it to charge for 24 hours to ensure
optimal battery balance is restored.
CAUTION: Only 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. Leaving a power pack in a discharged
state will cause damage. See
“When To Charge Your
Z-Force® Power Pack™”, on page 1-3 .

Failure to follow power pack storage and charging
instructions as described in this 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.
