WARNING! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the charger
directly into a properly wired standard wall outlet.
WARNING! Removal of the grounding prong can
create an electrical hazard. If necessary
properly install an approved 3-prong adaptor to
an electrical outlet having 2-pronged plug
access. Failure to heed could result in personal
injury and or property damage.
NOTE: There is a charger inhibit on your scooter. The scooter
will not run and the battery condition meter will not operate while
the batteries are charging.
4. It is recommended that you charge your batteries for 8 to 14
hours. You can check this periodically by the battery condition
meter on the control console assembly. However, you must first
unplug the battery charger and then insert the key. The battery
condition meter on the control console assembly indicates the
approximate strength of your batteries. When fully charged, the
meter reads 24 volts. You can also check the charge by the
ammeter which is located on the utility tray under the rear
shroud. The battery charger must be plugged into a wall outlet
to obtain a reading. When the amperage reading is at or near
zero (0) amps, the battery charging is complete. See figure 11.
5. When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the charger power
cord from the wall outlet, then coil the cord and store it under
the utility try lid.
