V. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
Your scooter requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries
that are sealed and maintenance free. They are recharged by an off-
board charging system.
! Charge your scooter’s batteries prior to using it for the first time.
! 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 approxi-
mate strength of your batteries using a colour code. See figure 11. Green
indicates fully charged batteries, yellow a draining charge, and red indicates
that an immediate recharge is necessary.
NOTE: To ensure the highest accuracy, the battery condition
meter should be checked while operating your scooter at full speed
on a dry, level surface.
CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES
PROHIBITED! Never use an extension lead to plug
in your battery charger. Plug the charger directly
into a properly wired standard wall outlet.
PROHIBITED! Removal of grounding prong can
create electrical hazard. If necessary, properly
install an approved 3-pronged adapter to an
electrical outlet having 2-pronged plug access.
Failure to heed could result in personal injury and/
or property damage.

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 position.
4. Plug the 3-pin charger lead from the off-board charger into the off-board charger power lead receptacle on the
scooter and the other end of the lead into a standard wall outlet. See figure 12.
NOTE: We recommend that you charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours.
5. When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the charger power lead from the wall outlet and then from the off-
board charger power lead 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.
