charge your batteries. You may use your vehicle all day on a
Daily basis or you may not use it for weeks at a time. Other
factors such as driver and baggage weight, smooth or rough
terrain, flat areas or inclines and speed must all be
considered.
With these variables you should concern yourself with two
questions: HOW OFTEN should I charge and for HOW
LONG? The Charger is designed so that it is impossible to
overcharge your batteries. If you follow the guidelines below,
your batteries will provide safe and reliable operation.
1. Put it on charge
as soon as you have finished using it. The Charger is fully
automatic so it will not overcharge your batteries. Your
vehicle will be ready each morning to give you several hours
use. It is recommended that you charge your batteries after
daily use until the green 'Charge Complete' light illuminates.
2. (once a week or less)
you should charge it at least once per week until the green
' Charge Complete' light illuminates. Remember: Keep your
batteries fully charged and avoid deeply discharging them.
3. Batteries should always be stored fully
charged. Check once a month and recharge fully if
needed. Sealed batteries can hold their charge for approx. 6
months. If they are left connected on the Scooter, remember
key switches, meters and electronic circuits can drain the
batteries rapidly. It is advisable to disconnect the batteries for
prolonged storage. Store in a warm, dry room.
Simply put, a fully charged battery is a happy battery! A
fully charged battery will provide reliable performance
and extended battery life, so keep your batteries fully
charged whenever possible.
Extra care must be taken when handling batteries, if you
decide to dismantle your vehicle for transportation etc.
Dropped batteries, even from a very small height, can
lead to damage of the internal components, causing
premature cell failure. Your batteries are sealed and do
not require maintenance. Do not force open the valves
in the battery top.
The batteries fitted to your vehicle are guaranteed
against a manufacturing or material defect for 6
months. Any battery faults due to a defect in
manufacture or materials will be obvious within a few
weeks of use. Your batteries are not guaranteed to
If you use your vehicle during the day.
If you use your vehicle infrequently
Storing batteries:
Used batteries must not be disposed of by
means of a domestic refuse disposal unit (dustbin) etc.
Please contact your Dealer to dispose of used batteries.
Please note, he may charge for this service.

perform to full capacity for 12 months. This will, of course
be dependent on the actual use of the vehicle and how of
ten the batteries are cycled i.e. discharged and charged.
Gradual deterioration in performance and reduction in
range is normal and associated with fair wear-and-tear,
misuse or accidental damage. Under these
circumstances, the warranty will not apply.
This is
termed 'Cycle Life'. Batteries have a defined number of
discharge cycles they can make i.e. the more times you use
your Scooter the more cycles your battery will make - the
shorter their life span.
If you take time to run-in your batteries properly, it will be
worth it. Remember: how long your batteries will provide
service is quite often a reflection of the care they receive.
This is how to run-in your new batteries:
1. Fully recharge any new batteries prior to your initial use.
This will bring your battery up to about 88% performance.
2. Ride your vehicle around the house or garden. Do not
venture too far away until you become accustomed to
the controls and feel of the vehicle. This will gently run-
in your batteries.
3. Give your batteries another full charge and run the
vehicle again. The batteries will now perform to over 90%
of their full potential.
4. After ten to fifteen charging cycles, the batteries will top
off at 100% charge and last for an extended period due
to your patience and care in the first few days of operation.
Rarely do we have an ideal driving situation such as a smooth,
flat, hard terrain with no wind or curves and warm
temperatures. More often, we are presented with hills,
uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, wind, cold and
heavy loads. All of these factors will affect the distance or
running time per battery charge.
1. Always charge your batteries fully prior to your trip. It
is a good idea to keep your Charger connected when the
'Charge Complete' (green) light is illuminated in the 'Top-Up'
maintains mode.
2. Maintain relevant tyre-pressures as stated in the Technical
Specifications of this Users Instruction Manual.
3. Plan your trip in advance to avoid inclines, kerbs and
soft surfaces.
4. Limit your baggage weight to essential items.
5. Try to maintain an even speed to avoid stop and start
driving.
6. Ensure recommended routine servicing of the vehicle's
components, i.e. motors, brakes, electrical connections
etc., is carried out as instructed in this Users Instruction
Manual.
Here are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range
per charge:
It is a fact
that some users due to their hectic lifestyle, weight or
operating conditions, may wear their batteries out
during the original battery manufacturer's guarantee
period due to extensive use of their Scooter.
