IMPORTANT! READ AND UNDERSTAND THE WARNINGS ABOUT THE 6-VOLT
BATTERY ON PAGE 4.
•
ADULTS ONLY:
After each use, or once a month minimum, charge the battery for a
“full” 16 hours. DO NOT leave the battery on the charger for more than 30 hours. See
pages 4-5 for recharging instructions.
•
Low battery signal will sound when the battery is running low on power. A “beeping”
sound will interrupt the “engine running” sound until the battery is recharged. See
pages 4-5 for recharging instructions.
•
The 6-volt battery will eventually lose the ability to hold a charge. Depending on the
amount of use, and varying conditions, the battery should operate for one to three
years.
•
DO NOT
leave the battery in the Scooter for long periods of time unused. Battery
may drain completely, causing permanent damage. Disconnect the engine connector
from the battery.
•
ADULTS ONLY: Handle the battery with care. DO NOT
drop the battery.
Permanent damage to the battery could occur.
•
If the battery is removed from the Scooter and stored,
DO NOT
store the battery
where temperatures are over 75ºF (24ºC) or under -10ºF (-24ºC).
•
P
lease store the battery on a wood surface to avoid cement floor surface discharge.
Always wipe the battery clean with a dry cloth prior to storage. You will still need
to charge your battery once each month (16 hours) during long storage periods to
ensure battery life.
•
If the battery leaks or has completely discharged, it is no longer usable.
Remove
the battery according to the instructions on page 13 and place it in a plastic bag.
See page 14 for disposal directions. Replace the battery with a 6-volt battery
ONLY.
See page 17 to reorder parts.
•
If the battery leaks,
DO NOT
allow acid from the battery to contact skin or eyes. If
this happens, call your physician immediately. Flush with cool water for 15 minutes.
•
If the battery leaks,
DO NOT
ingest acid. If this happens, call your physician
immediately. Give water, milk of magnesia or egg whites.
DO NOT
induce vomiting.
•
The 6-volt battery features a thermal fuse with a reset fuse in the engine connector
that will automatically trip and cut all power to the Scooter if the motor, electrical
system or battery is overloaded. The fuse will reset and power will be restored after
approximately 15 seconds. To avoid losing power, follow these guidelines:
- DO NOT
overload the Scooter. Maximum weight allowed: 50 lbs. (22.7 kg).
- DO NOT
tow anything behind the Scooter.
- DO NOT
drive up steep slopes.
- DO NOT
drive into fixed objects, which may cause the wheels to spin, causing
the motor to overheat.
- DO NOT
drive in very hot weather; components may overheat.
- DO NOT
allow water or other liquids to come in contact with the battery or
other electrical components.
- DO NOT
tamper with the electrical system. Doing so may create a short,
causing the fuse to trip.
If the thermal fuse trips repeatedly during normal use, your Scooter may need repair.
