BATTERIES AND BATTERY CHARGING
The Shoprider® GolfRider™ scooter must be equipped with two maintenance-free, sealed
lead acid or gel batteries. The batteries are installed underneath the seat and rear chassis
cover. Battery life and performance may be affected by temperature, terrain, condition of
battery, the weight of the user, and care of batteries. The battery level indicator is only a
guide and is most effective when the scooter is moving, only then is the true discharge level
displayed.
• When the scooter stops the battery level indicator may indicate full.
• An active user can use up to 30% of battery capacity or more per day.
• Inactive users may only use 50% of battery capacity in a week.
• In both these instances the battery should be put on charge over night.
Keeping the batteries charged will extend the life of the batteries
Battery Charger (Fig 7)
1) The battery charger is an off-board 8-amp
transformer type.
2) Charger A/C power cord.
First Time Use
Prior to using your Shoprider® GolfRider™ scooter for
the first time, you must charge the batteries fully (refer to
Battery Charging Procedures). Complete charging may
take up to 12 hours. Charging the batteries completely
prior to first time use will benefit battery efficiency and
extend battery life. Failure to do so may cause damage.
Charging
The Shoprider® GolfRider™ scooter has a built in 3-pin charger port located on the right
side of the tiller next to the key switch. To charge the batteries connect the 3-pin male plug
lead into the 3-pin female battery-charging socket on the tiller. Plug the charger A/C cord
plug into the wall socket. The battery charger has two indicator lights. The red light shows
the power is on. The second light shows yellow/gold while charging, and when the light
turns green the batteries are fully charged. Once the batteries are completely charged,
unplug the A/C cord from the wall then unplug the 3-pin lead from the charger port.
WARNING: Only use the original Shoprider approved charger!
This charger is for indoor use only. DO NOT expose it to rain or water spray.
Do not leave the charger plugged into the charger port if the charger is not charging.
