THE SCOOTER BATTERIES
Charging the batteries is the most important part of operating and maintaining your scooter.
Be sure to do it properly!
IMPORTANT:
Only AGM or gelcell sealed lead-acid deep
cycle discharge type batteries should be used with this scooter. Do not use regular car
starter batteries. AGM and gelcell batteries do not require water and they have no danger
of spillage. Some are approved by the Federal Aviation Administration for air travel.
Important Safety Information:
Always use caution when lead-acid batteries are being charged. Batteries can generate explo-
sive gasses during charging. Observe the follow guidelines to reduce risk of battery explosion.
1. Never smoke or allow open fl ame or sparks around a charging battery.
2. Never charge a frozen battery.
3. Use a PaceSaver charger designed for charging deep-cycle gelcell and AGM batteries.
4. The user is instructed to NOT use the charger with a battery confi guration not
matching the output voltage rating of the charger. The batteries in this scooter are
connected for 24 volts.
5.The charger is rated at 24 volts DC and includes a special safety circuit to prevent
operation of the scooter while charging. This is to prevent accidently driving away
with the AC cord connected, causing damage to the cord and to the receptacle in the
user's
residence.
6. Do not operate the charger in closed area or restrict ventilation around the charger
in any way.
7. Do not disconnect the DC portion of the charger circuit while the AC cord is still
connected to the electrical outlet.Unplug the AC cord fi rst.
8. It is normal for the charger to operate at a high temperature. Do not touch the hot
charger until after it cools.

wash, etc.). When storing the scooter, keep it inside a building or under a protective covering.
2. Use of the charger in a manner not recommended by the manufacturer may result in the
risk of fi re, electrical shock or personal injury.
3. To reduce the possibility of damage to the AC cord or the connector, disconnect the AC
line cord by grasping the plug and not the cord, when disconnecting from either the cart or
the wall receptacle.
4. Locate cord so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or subjected to the possibility
of damage.
