How do I change a battery in my scooter?
MANDATORY! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and
lead compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash
hands after handling.
PROHIBITED! Always use two batteries of the exact same type, chemistry, and
amp-hour (Ah) capacity. Refer to the specifications table in this manual and in the
manual supplied with the battery charger for recommended type and capacities.
WARNING! Do not mix old and new batteries. Always replace both batteries at the
same time.
WARNING! Contact your authorized Provider if you have any questions regarding
the batteries in your scooter.
WARNING! Do not replace the batteries while the scooter is occupied.
WARNING! The batteries on your scooter should only be serviced or replaced by
an authorized Provider or a qualified technician.
PROHIBITED! Keep tools and other metal objects away from battery terminals.
Contact with tools can cause electrical shock.
You may need the following to change your
batteries:
 Metric/standard socket set and ratchet
 Adjustable wrench
WARNING! Do not lift beyond your
physical capability. Ask for assistance
when necessary while disassembling
or assembling your scooter.
To change batteries in your scooter:
1. Remove the seat and battery shroud. See figure 13.

by removing the two (2) thumbscrews that
secure it to the scooter frame, and then lifting
the shroud straight up and off of the scooter. See
figure 13.
b.) For models 614 and 714, remove the battery
shroud by removing the four (4) thumbscrews

mating plug. See figure 14.
WARNING! Do not pull on electrical harness wires directly to detach them from the
