VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
Your scooter requires two sealed, maintenance free, 12-volt, 32 AH bat-
teries.
CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES
Follow these easy steps to charge your batteries safely:
PROHIBITED! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the charger
directly into a properly wired standard wall outlet.
PROHIBITED! Removal of the grounding prong can create an electrical hazard. If necessary
properly install an approved 3-pronged adaptor to an electrical outlet having 2-pronged
plug access. Failure to heed could result in personal injury and or property damage.
WARNING! Ensure that both ends of the charger power cord are clean and dry before
plugging it into the charger power cord receptacle or a wall socket.
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 (up) position.
4. Plug the charger power cord into the charger power cord receptacle.
5. Extend the charger power cord and plug it into the wall outlet. It is recommended that you charge your
batteries for 8 to 14 hours.
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.
n Charge the batteries prior to using your scooter for the first time.
n Keep the batteries fully charged to keep your scooter running
smoothly.
READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE
The battery condition meter on the tiller console indicates the approximate
strength of your batteries using a color code. See figure 7. Green indicates
fully charged batteries, yellow indicates a draining charge, and red indi-
cates that an immediate recharge is necessary. To check the charge, you
must first unplug the charger power cord and power up your scooter. To
ensure the highest accuracy, the battery condition meter should be checked
while operating your scooter at full speed on a dry, level surface.
You can also check the charge using the ammeter located on the rear of the
scooter. The charger power cord must be plugged into a standard wall
outlet in order to obtain a reading. When the amperage reading is at or near
zero amps, the battery charging is complete. See figure 8.
