Battery Charging & Maintenance
BATTERY CHARGING: Your scooter has a lot of power, so keeping it working to
its maximum potential means that its two batteries must be maintained with full
power. Nightly recharging, after use, will help you give them a longer life and will
ensure your scooter is always ready to go when you are.
BATTERIES: Your scooter batteries are virtually maintenance-free, because the
electrolyte is immobilized in a special form and will not leak out, even if the
battery is accidentally overturned.
Because your scooter batteries are sealed, they are most likely to be accepted
for transport on all aircraft. Please consult your carrier prior to departure, as they
will need advance warning that you wish them to carry batteries.
PLEASE NOTE: Each carrier reserves the right to carry what may be termed
"HAZARDOUS CARGO" Shoprider cannot be responsible for their final decision.
BATTERY CHARGER: The battery charger supplied is special to your scooter,
and may not be suitable for any other power mobility product. Use only the
charger supplied with your scooter; other makes of chargers may permanently
damage your scooter batteries, and would void the warranty.
CHARGING THE BATTERIES: Your scooter batteries will need to be recharged
when the battery state indicator located on the tiller console is reading in the far
left position. NOTE: The batteries will have a longer life if you do not use up all of
the battery's power, and recharge as soon as the battery gauge reaches two
bars. Two bars represents time to recharge, rather than letting it go right over the
far left on the scale.
Charging Your Scooter's Batteries
1. Switch off your scooter and remove the key.
2. Take your off board charger that came with your scooter, and plug it into
any standard wall socket.
3. Plug the round tip into the scooter's charging receptacle. The receptacle is
located on the inside of the tiller, facing the seat. Flip up the safety cap and
carefully plug in the charger. Remember to make sure you line up the pins
when inserting.
