Batteries And Charging; Reading Your Battery Voltage; Charging Your Batteries - Pride Mobility Revo Owner's Manual

I V . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G
Your scooter is equipped with two sealed, maintenance free batteries.
! Charge the batteries prior to using your scooter 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 uses a color code to
indicate the approximate strength of your batteries. From right to left,
green indicates fully charged batteries, yellow indicates a draining charge,
and red indicates that an immediate recharge is necessary. See figure 6.
To check the battery strength during charging, you must first unplug the
charger power cord and power up your scooter by inserting the key into
the key switch and turning it to the on position.
NOTE: To ensure the highest accuracy, the battery condition meter should be checked while operating
your scooter at full speed on a level surface.

CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES

PROHIBITED! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the
charger directly into a properly wired standard electrical outlet.
PROHIBITED! Removal of the grounding prong can create an electrical hazard. If
necessary, properly install an approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet having
2-pronged plug access.
PROHIBITED! Do not allow unsupervised children to play near the scooter while the
batteries are charging. Pride recommends that you do not charge the batteries while the
scooter is occupied.
MANDATORY! Read the battery charging instructions in this manual and in the manual
supplied with the battery charger before charging the batteries.
WARNING! Explosive gases may be generated while charging the batteries. Keep the
scooter and the battery charger away from sources of ignition such as flames or sparks
and provide adequate ventilation when charging the batteries.
WARNING! Ensure that both ends of the charger power cord are clean and dry before
plugging the charger power cord into the charger power cord receptacle or the electrical
outlet.
WARNING! You must recharge your scooter's batteries with the supplied off-board charger.
Do not use an automotive-type battery charger.
WARNING! Inspect the battery charger, wiring, and connectors for damage before each
use. Contact your authorized Pride Provider if damage is found.
WARNING! Do not attempt to open the battery charger case. If the battery charger does
not appear to be working correctly, contact your authorized Pride Provider.
WARNING! If the battery charger is equipped with cooling slots, then do not attempt to
insert objects through these slots.
