Battery Charger
The battery charger is a 4-amp switch type off board. The battery charging port is located on the
battery pack. This special feature allows the batteries to be charged independently of the main
scooter.
Before using our scooter for the first time be sure to fully charge the batteries, this may take up to
12 hours.
To charge the batteries connect the 3-pin male charger plug into the charging socket on the
battery pack. Plug the 3-pin mains plug into a wall socket and switch on. The battery charger has
two lights. A constant red light will show when the battery charger is connected (this will flash if
there is a break in the connection). The flashing green light indicates that the batteries are
receiving charge, this will change to solid green when the charging cycle is complete.
Caution! Do not charge the batteries for longer than 12 hours. Always charge the batteries in a
well-ventilated indoor area. You must still maintain charging the batteries even if the scooter
is not to be used for a prolonged period of time (2 to 3 weeks). Failure to do so could result in
permanent damage and render the batteries unusable. Wherever possible do not interrupt
the charge cycle until the batteries are fully charged. Continual interruption can permanently
damage the batteries. If the charging lead should get damaged discontinue use immediately
and seek a replacement from your dealer. ONLY USE THE CHARGER SUPPLIED WITH YOUR
SCOOTER. Do not leave the charger plugged into to the charger port after the charge is
complete. Mains power must be switched off before unplugging the lead to the battery pack.
ALWAYS remove the keys from the scooter when charging.
Disposing and recycling of used batteries
Batteries must always be recycled correctly. Do not dispose of them with your domestic refuge.
For further information regarding your nearest recycling facility please contact your local
authority.
Maintenance
Product Life Expectancy
Your scooter has been designed to provide the user with a long, reliable life provided it is correctly
maintained and regularly serviced by an authorised dealer. However, due to inevitable wear and
tear and technological improvements it is recommended that the average useable life of this
scooter is five years.
Cleaning
The shrouds and seat of the scooter should be cleaned using a damp cloth and gentle detergent.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as this will damage the plastic components. Do not spray
water (hose or pressure washer) onto the scooter as this may cause damage to the electronics.
