This product has an
Average Useful
Life
of seven (7) years, or 270 hours of
operation. At the end of the
Average
Useful Life
have the rider inspected
annually by an authorized service dealer
to ensure that all mechanical and safety
systems are working properly and not
worn excessively. Failure to do so can
result in accidents, injuries or death.
18.
Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire.
The cell may explode. Check with local
codes for proper disposal instructions.
19.
Do not touch the motor(s). These parts can
get hot from operation, even after the rider
is turned off.
20.
Exercise care in handling batteries in
order not to short the battery with
conductive materials such as rings,
bracelets, and keys. The battery or
conductor may be hot and cause burns.
21.
For continued protection against risk of
injury or electric shock, do not replace
blown fuses. Please call authorized
service personnel.
General Electric Safety
1.
Do not expose the rider to rain or wet
conditions.
2.
Do not handle the rider with wet hands.
3.
Do not operate the rider in the rain, in
wet conditions or on wet surfaces.
4.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, avoid
body contact with grounded conductors,
such as metal pipes or wire fences.
5.
Do not operate the rider in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Battery Charger Safety
WARNING
Only use a Delta-Q battery charger (model # ICC650-
048-CAN/part # 940-0029) to charge batteries. DO NOT
attempt to charge any other batteries with a Delta-Q
battery charger. Other types of batteries may burst,
causing fire, personal injury or property damage.
1.
A nameplate on the charger indicates the
voltage used. Never connect the charger to
an AC voltage that differs from this voltage.
2.
An extension cord should not be used
unless absolutely necessary. Use of
an improper extension cord could
result in a risk of fire, electric shock or
electrocution.
3.
Do not use multiple extension cords
4.
Make sure the extension cord is heavy
enough to carry the current drawn by
the charger. An undersized extension
cord will cause a drop in line voltage,
resulting in a loss of power and
overheating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge cord. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Make sure the cords are in good condition.
Inspect the power cord and extension cord
periodically. Look closely for deterioration,
cuts or cracks in the insulation. If a cord is
damaged in any manner while plugged in,
disconnect the cord from both the outlet
and the charger. Do not use a damaged
cord. Damaged cords should be repaired
or replaced.
6.
Do not abuse cords. Never pull or carry
the charger by a cord. Keep cords away
from heat, oil, water, sharp edges, and
moving objects. Always grasp the plug
when disconnecting a cord.
7.
Never modify a plug, cord or outlet in
any way.
8.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the
circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used with this
charger. For an extra measure of safety, use
receptacles with built-in GFCI protection.
9.
Do not place the battery charger where
cords might be stepped on, tripped over
or subjected to damage.
10.
Do not charge batteries in the rain or in
wet conditions. Keep the battery charger
in a cool and dry area.
11.
Keep the battery charger away from all
liquids.
12.
Do not allow small metal items or material
such as steel wool, aluminum foil or other
foreign particles into the charger port.
13.
Do not probe the charger with
conductive material. There is a risk of
electric shock.
14.
Do not cover the battery charger. The
battery charger may overheat.
15.
Do not allow the battery or battery
charger to overheat. If they are warm,
allow them to cool down. Only charge
batteries in temperatures between 32°
and 104° F (0° and 40° C).
16.
Always unplug the battery charger when
it is not in use.
Battery Safety
1.
Do not expose the battery to fire or to
temperatures over 176º F (80º C). Doing
so could cause an explosion.
2.
Handle batteries with care. Do not short
the battery with conductive materials,
such as rings, bracelets, keys, etc.
Shorting the battery may cause personal
injury, damage to the battery or a fire.
3.
Do not attempt to charge a cracked or
damaged battery.
4.
Do not use or charge a wet battery or
a battery that shows any evidence of
corrosion.
5.
Do not use a damaged or modified
battery. Doing so could result in a fire,
explosion or personal injury.
WARNING
The battery may present a risk of fire or chemical burn
if misused. Do not disassemble, overheat or incinerate
the battery.
WARNING
Leakage from the Power Cell may occur under extreme
usage, charging or temperature conditions or if the
Power Cell is damaged, crushed or punctured. This
leakage indicates a failure of the Power Cell and the
Power Cell should be properly disposed of per local
hazardous material regulations.
IF the Power Cell leakage gets on your skin
or eyes, follow these steps:
•
Immediately wash the area with soap
and water.
•
Immediately flush the eyes with clean
water for a minimum of 20 minutes and
seek immediate medical attention.
If the leakage gets on your clothing or shoes,
remove, isolate and wash the contaminated
clothing thoroughly.
WARNING
Only use a Delta-Q battery charger (model # ICC650-
048-CAN/part # 940-0029) to charge batteries. DO NOT
attempt to charge any other batteries with a Delta-Q
battery charger. Other types of batteries may burst,
causing fire, personal injury or property damage.
