IX. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
6. We recommend you charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours. As the batteries charge, the ammeter needle slowly
drops to zero. When the batteries are fully charged, the needle vibrates on or near the zero mark on the
ammeter scale.
7. When your Jazzy 1400’s batteries are fully charged, you can unplug the power lead from the wall outlet,
wind the lead by using the hook and loop strap, and place the lead back into the rear tray.
8. Secure the rear utility tray cover.
OFF-BOARD CHARGER
If your Jazzy is equipped with an off-board charger, follow these instructions.
1. Position your Jazzy next to a standard wall outlet.
2. Be certain that the controller power is turned off and that the freewheel levers are in the engaged
position. See IV. “The Jazzy 1400” in this manual.
3. Remove the run plug located on the utility tray. This activates the inhibit function.
4. Plug the 3-pin connector on the charger into the utility tray connector.
5. Plug the charger into the wall outlet.
6. The ammeter indicates how much charge is needed to fully charge the batteries. Wait about a minute for
the charger to warm up. The ammeter should move all the way up to five amps, then gradually move
back down to zero amps.
7. We recommend you charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours. As the batteries charge, the ammeter needle
slowly drops to zero. When the batteries are fully charged, the needle vibrates on or near zero on the
ammeter scale.
8. When your Jazzy 1400’s batteries are fully charged, disconnect the charger lead from the wall outlet.
9. Disconnect the charger from the rear utility tray.
10. Reconnect the run plug into its connector.
NOTE
:
If the run plug is not reconnected, your Jazzy will not run.
11. Replace the rear cover.
BATTERY BREAK-IN
To break in new batteries for maximum efficiency:
1. Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This brings the battery up to about 90% of its peak
performance level.
2. Operate your Jazzy 1400 about the house and grounds. Move slowly at first and don’t travel too far
until you become accustomed to the controls and break in the batteries.
3. Give the batteries another full charge of 8 to 14 hours and operate your Jazzy 1400 again. The batteries
should now perform at over 90% of their potential. After four or five charging cycles, the batteries top off at
100% charge and last for an extended period.
