Batteries And Charging - Pride Celebrity Deluxe Owner's Manual

V . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G
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. From right to left,
green indicates fully charged batteries, yellow a draining charge and red
indicates that an immediate recharge is necessary. See figure 11. To en-
sure 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 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. Failure to heed could result in personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING! Ensure that both ends of the charger power lead are clean and dry before
plugging the charger power lead into the off-board charger port or the electrical outlet.
