Battery Charging
The charging socket is located on the upper left-hand side of the tiller.
Rotate the protective cover and push in the plug. When the vehicle is
charged remove the plug, and reposition the protective cover to keep the
water out (Fig.22).
The battery charger has coloured charge status indicating LEDs / lamps
(Fig.23). When the charger is connected and switched on the first lamp
will illuminate red. If no mains power is present, no lamps will be lit. When
the battery is being charged the second check function lamp will illuminate
yellow and when this lamp changes to green, the batteries are fully
charged. Always ensure that the lamp shows green before switching off
and disconnecting the charger at the mains.

Rascal Ventura Scooter Owner's Manual and Service Record
Warning!
When charging batteries NEVER smoke or charge batteries in a place where there are naked
flames such as gas-fired heaters as, under exceptional circumstances, batteries may give off gases that
could ignite and explode. If the scooter has been damaged, it is possible that the batteries have been
affected. In this case do not charge the scooter and refer to your dealer for assistance. Never charge the
scooter outside as the charger is not designed to get wet. If the charger appears damaged in
any way do not use it and contact your dealer for a replacement.
Warning!
Always charge in a dry, well ventilated area.
Warning!
It is strongly recommended that the mains socket used for charging the scooter is protected
by a 30 m/A RCD (residual current device). Many buildings have sockets protected by a system based
RCD. If you are in doubt as to the level of protection in your charging location then either purchase a plug in
RCD or consult a qualified electrician to verify that your charging location mains sockets are protected.
Warning!
If batteries are damaged or frozen they could heat up during charging and in an extreme case,
explode.
Warning!
Do not attempt to open the battery box/enclosure, there are no user serviceable parts inside. It
may be necessary for some carriers such as airlines to physically disconnect the batteries for transit. If this
is the case the battery cover can be removed without the use of tools once the seat has been removed.
This should only be done by appropriately skilled/qualified personnel.
Warning!
Never use a different battery charger to that supplied by your dealer. Damage or injury may
occur if you do!
Warning!
When charging batteries NEVER connect or disconnect the charger from the scooter while it is
still connected to the mains. - Remove the charger mains plug from the wall socket having first switched
the mains socket off if a switch is provided.
