Your Sundancer requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Recharge
the batteries with the convenient onboard 3.5-amp charging system.
Two important points to remember are:
n Charge your Sundancer’s batteries with the supplied onboard battery charger prior to using it for the first time.
n Keep your batteries fully charged to keep your Sundancer running smoothly.
NOTE: Use only the onboard battery charger supplied with your Sundancer.
READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE
The battery condition meter on the control console indicates the approximate strength of your batteries. (The meter
reads 24 volts when your batteries are fully charged.) To check the charge, you must first unplug the battery charger
and then insert the key into the key switch.
You can also use the ammeter to check your batteries’ charge. The ammeter is located on the utility tray under the
rear shroud. (The amperage reading should be at or near zero (0) when the batteries are fully charged.) The battery
charger must be plugged into a wall outlet to obtain an ammeter reading.
CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES
You can charge your Sundancer’s batteries with your Scooter completely assembled or with your Scooter disassembled,
as described in VIII. “Disassembly and Assembly.” We strongly recommend you charge your batteries while your
Scooter is fully assembled. However, if you are traveling and you disassemble your Scooter to transport it, you may
find it necessary to charge your batteries. In such instances, it is easier to take out the utility tray and batteries to
perform the charging.
Follow these steps to safely charge your batteries while your Sooter is fully assembled.
1. Position your Scooter close to a standard wall outlet.
2. Remove the key from the control console.
3. Extend the charger power cord and plug it into the wall outlet. We recommend you charge your Sundancer’s
batteries for 8 to 14 hours.
4. When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the charger power
cord from the wall outlet, recoil the cord, and place it neatly
inside the utility tray.
NOTE: There is a charger inhibit on your Sundancer. Your
Scooter will not run and the battery condition meter will not
operate while the batteries are charging.
Follow these steps to safely charge your batteries with the utillity
tray and batteries removed.
1. Disassemble your Scooter as described in VIII. “Disassembly
and Assembly.”
2. Place your utility tray and batteries close to a standard wall
outlet.
WARNING! Never use an extension lead to plug in your battery charger. Plug the charger directly
into a properly wired standard wall outlet.
