Charging the Batteries

Your scooter is equipped with two sealed, maintenance free 12V. 12Ah. rechargeable batteries and one 2A
On-board charger. Batteries must be charged before using scooter for first time and should be recharged
after each day's use. Be sure power switch is in OFF position and free-wheeling lever is not in freewheel
mode. For safety reasons, only sealed non-spillable batteries that meet DOT CFR 173.159(d), IATA Packing
Instructions, and IATA Provision A67 shall be installed in the scooters. If you need new batteries, contact
your dealer. Only 12V. 12Ah Valve-regulated Lead Acid batteries should be used.
1. Insert battery charger cord into charging socket (P) on battery pack.
2. Plug the other end of Power Cable (Q) into a standard electrical
wall outlet.
3. The charging indicator will normally be red or yellow at this point.
4. Allow batteries to charge until charging indicator turns green.
5. After indicator turns green, unplug battery charger from scooter
and wall outlet.
6. Do not charge simultaneously with battery box socket and
optional charging socket, this can be dangerous.
7. If at any time the battery charger light flashes green over 40
minutes, this indicates that abnormal charging has occurred.
You should check the following:
• That the charger plug is correctly positioned.
• The scooter is turned off.
• If none of these are the problems, contact your local authorized dealer.
!
Always ensure that the scooter is switched off before getting on or off and before dismantling the scooter.
Keep in mind:
• Fully charge batteries at least once a month, or more if you use scooter regularly.
• Charge after each trip exceeding 3 kilometres.
• If storing your scooter for some time (1 month or more), make sure that batteries are fully charged, and
on returning, charge them again before using scooter.
• Batteries will only give maximum performance after scooter has been used, and batteries have been
recharged up to 10 times, a bit like breaking in a new car.
Please be aware that the travelling range of your mobility scooter is impacted by how fast the batteries
are discharged. This will depend on many circumstances, such as ambient temperature, condition of the
surface of the road, tyre pressure, weight of the driver, driving environment (inclines etc.) and utilisation of
your lighting system if fitted. We recommend that you test your local ride with a family member to ensure
a safe journey.

Turning the scooter OFF whilst driving will bring it to an abrupt stop.
