Your scooter requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. They
are recharged by an off-board charging system.
Charge your scooter’s batteries prior to using it for the first time.
Keep the batteries fully charged to keep your scooter running smoothly.
CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES
PROHIBITED! Never use an extension lead to plug in your battery charger. Plug the charger
directly into a properly wired standard electrical outlet.
PROHIBITED! Removal of the grounding prong can create an electrical hazard. If necessary,
properly install an approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet having 2-pronged
plug access. Failure to heed could result in personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING! Ensure that both ends of the charger power lead are clean and dry before
plugging the charger power lead into the off-board charger port or the electrical outlet.
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Read the battery charging instructions
in this manual and in the manual supplied with the battery charger before charging the
batteries.
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Do no expose the off-board battery
charger to rain or other sources of moisture unless it has been tested for outdoor use.
Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for more information.
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Explosive gases may be generated
while charging the batteries. Keep the scooter and the battery charger away from sources
of ignition such as flames or sparks and provide adequate ventilation when charging the
batteries.
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Inspect the battery charger, wiring,
and connectors for damage before each use. Contact your authorised Pride Provider if
damage is found.
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Do not attempt to open the battery
charger case. If the battery charger does not appear to be working correctly, contact your
authorised Pride Provider.
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! If the off-board battery charger is
equipped with cooling slots, then do not attempt to insert objects through these slots.
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Do not allow unsupervised children
to play near the scooter while the batteries are charging.
READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE
The battery condition meter on the tiller console indicates the approxi-
mate strength of your batteries using a colour code. From right to left,
green indicates fully charged batteries, yellow a draining charge and red
indicates that an immediate recharge is necessary. See figure 11. To en-
sure the highest accuracy, the battery condition meter should be checked
while operating your scooter at full speed on a dry, level surface.
