Batteries and Battery Charger
Batteries
Charge the batteries completely (8-12 hours) prior to first use.
The FOXTR 2 uses two 38 Amp, 12 Volt sealed lead acid batteries. The batteries are located in a battery pack
under the front of the seat. They can be easily removed by simply lifting by the handle on the top. Always make
sure the batteries are correctly relocated before use.
Low temperatures, rough terrain and the weight of the user can affect battery performance. Your battery gauge is
a guide only to the level of charge remaining in your batteries and will give its best indication while the scooter is
moving.
Note:
Batteries recommended by FOXTR MUST be used if they need to be replaced. An authorized FOXTR
dealer must carry out battery replacement.
Battery Charger
The battery charger is a 3-amp switch mode type off board. The battery charging port is located on the front of the
battery box (see image below). Before using your 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 front of the battery
pack. Plug the 3-pin mains plug into a wall socket and switch on. A constant red light will show when the battery
charger is connected and charging is underway.
The red light indicates that the charger is switched on and connected to the batteries. The green LED will light
when the charging cycle is complete. Always turn off main power to the charger before disconnecting the plug from
the battery box.
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. ALVW^YS remove the keys from the scooter when charging.
