Your scooter requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. They
are recharged by an onboard 3-amp charging system designed for ease of use and convenience.
n Charge your scooters batteries prior to using it for the first time.
n Keep your batteries fully charged to keep your scooter running trouble free.
You have the option to use either 32 AH or 17 AH batteries for your scooter.
Your scooter was preset to use 32 AH batteries. If you decide to use 17 AH
batteries, you must install the two provided battery spacer brackets.
Follow these easy steps to install the battery spacer brackets:
1. Position the spacer bracket in the battery well. See figure 8.
2. Align the holes in the spacer bracket with the holes in the battery well.
3. Install the Christmas tree clips. See figure 8A.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the second spacer bracket.
READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE
The battery condition meter on the control console assembly indi-
cates the approximate strength of your batteries using a color code. Green
indicates fully charged batteries, yellow a draining charge, and red indi-
cates that an immediate recharge is necessary. See figure 9. To ensure
the highest accuracy, the battery condition meter should be checked
while operating your scooter at full speed on a dry, l evel surface.
CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES
Follow these easy steps to charge your batteries safely:
1. Position your scooter close to a standard wall outlet.
2. Remove the key from the key switch.
3. Make certain that the manual freewheel lever is in the drive (down) position.
4. Plug the charger power cord into the charger power cord receptacle.
5. Plug the charger power cord into a standard wall outlet.
6. When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the charger power cord from the wall outlet and then from the
charger power cord receptacle.
NOTE: There is a charger inhibit function on your scooter. The scooter will not run and the battery
condition meter will not operate while the batteries are charging.
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.
