V . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G
Your Legend Classic requires two sealed, maintenance free, 12-volt, deep cycle batteries.
n Charge the batteries prior to using your scooter for the first time.
n Keeping the batteries fully charged will keep your scooter running smoothly.
READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE
The battery condition meter on the tiller console indicates the approximate strength of your batteries using a colour
code. See figure 7. Green indicates fully charged batteries, yellow indicates a draining charge, and red indicates
that an immediate recharge is necessary. To check the charge, you must first unplug the charger power lead and
power up your scooter.
You can also check the charge using the ammeter located on the rear of the scooter. The charger power lead must
be plugged into a standard wall outlet in order to obtain a reading. When the amperage reading is at or near zero
(0) amps, the battery charging is complete. See figure 8.
