The off-board charger supplied with your scooter is equipped with a 115/230 voltage switch. Confirm
that this switch is in the proper position for your locality. If you are not sure what the voltage is in your
country, contact your local electricity provider before inserting the charger power lead plug into your
electrical outlet. If the setting is incorrect, the charger will not function properly. Slide the voltage switch
to the appropriate position.
See figure 10.
The LED lights on the charger indicate different charger conditions at various times: charger power on,
charging in progress, charging complete. Refer to the label on the charger for a complete explanation
of these indicators.

battery condition meter will not operate while the batteries are charging.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does the charger work?
When your scooter’s battery voltage is low, the charger works harder, sending more electrical current
to the batteries to bring up their charge. As the batteries approach a full charge, the charger sends
less and less electrical current. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent from the charger
is at nearly zero amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on
your scooter’s batteries, but does not overcharge them. We do not recommend that you charge your
scooter’s batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
