• The battery should be used at the temperature of -10°C to 45°C.
• Do not expose to water, beverages or corrosive liquids.
• Keep away from heat source, open fire, inflammable and explosive gases and liquids.
• Please keep metal parts away from the battery compartment.

In case of undesirable odor, overheat or deformation of the battery, please disuse the battery immediately, keep away from the battery and contact your dealer.

The battery is not a repairable part by the user. In case of battery fault, please contact your dealer. Users dismantling the battery may lead to leakage, overheat, smoking, fire or explosion. This will invalidate product warranty.

Charging Environment

The battery should be charged at the temperature of 0°C to 35°C. The charging time should not exceed 24 hours, or it will shorten the battery life. Do not charge the battery outdoors.

Battery charging instructions

NQi GTS provides you with two modes of vehicle charging and external charging.

Vehicle charging mode

You can connect the charger to the vehicle charging interface at the rear of the saddle box to charge two NQi GTS batteries at the same time. Also the charger can be connected to the single battery of the vehicle to charge; Then the charging indicator of the NQi GTS meter will light up and the charging progress will be displayed.

External charging mode

Take out the NQi GTS batteries, connect the charger separately and charge them externally; or use the double-battery charging adapter box to charge two NQi GTS batteries at the same time. The battery indicator will light up during the charging and the charging process will be displayed.

When only one battery powers the vehicle, the maximum speed of the vehicle is the speed at the second gear.

Battery indicator light instructions

• In the charging state, the current battery power will be displayed. After the battery is fully charged, all the indicators are always on and no longer flash.
• When in the non-charging state, press the power show button and the indicator will show the battery power in the normal state.
  • If the battery is less than 20%, an indicator will flash threes to remind you to charge.
  • If all the indicators flash, it means that the battery is being in fault.
  • Please call the official customer service hotline 400-6388-666 for consultation.

• All operation should be strictly conform to the user manual. If not, result will be assumed by user.
• Must use original charger.
• Pay attention to the type of battery and applied voltage. Mixture use is forbidden.
• Charging should be in ventilated environment. DO NOT charge in closed space or under high temperature. DO NOT put charger into trunk or tail box while charging.
• While charging, connect battery with charger before connect with electric supply. After fully charged, disconnect the electric supply before unplug the battery plug.
• When the green light turns on, disconnect the power in time.
• Avoid long time connection between charger and AC power supply while not charging.
• While charging, if the signal light is abnormal, has odor, or the charger is over temperature, please stop charging immediately and check or change the charger in time.
• When using and storing the charger, please avoid foreign matter, especially water or other liquid in case of internal short circuit.
• DO NOT bring charger within scooter, if have to, please make sure of damping.
• DO NOT disassemble or change the parts in charger by yourself.

ATTENTION

• If the battery can not be fully charged after 12 hours, please stop charging and contact your dealer.
• To maximize the battery life, please keep the battery percentage within 20% to 80%.
• The battery will lose more capacity in lower temperature conditions. To be more specific, the usable capacity at -10°C is 70%, 85% at 0°C, and 100% at 25°C.
• The best battery capacity performance for storage is 50%. Storing battery with less than 10% or more than 90% over a long period of time will cause irreversible capacity loss to the battery.
• The battery needs to take out from the scooter for storage longer than one week. In this condition, please keep the battery at the temperature of 0°C to 20°C with capacity of 30%-70%. It's advised to have at least one cycle of charge and discharge every 2 months to minimize battery capacity loss during storage.
• If the battery failure is due to misuse or lack of proper maintenance as instructed, its warranty will be invalidated.
• Falling may cause uncontrollable internal damage to the battery and may cause leakage, overheat, smoking, fire or explosion.

DOs and DON'Ts while Riding

Before Riding

Please check the following details before riding.

Braking Precautions

Adjust the scooter upright before applying brakes. If the tyres are locked and the scooter loses steering ability resulting from excessive braking force, loosen the grip on the braking lever and the tyres will be working again and the scooter will be stabilized. Try to maintain a 1:1 ratio of front and rear braking force on slippery roads.

For your safety, do not exceed the speed limit, use the brakes gently to maintain at safe speed while riding downhill.

ATTENTION: Inexperienced riders tend to use the rear brake only, which will accelerate the wear of the brake and result in a longer braking distance.

Using the front brake or rear brake only is dangerous because of possible grip or control loss. Pay extra attention and use the brakes gently when riding on damp, slippery roads, and around corners. Otherwise, riders will be exposed to great danger.

Maintenance and Repair

Users are advised to have the scooter checked and maintained on a regular basis, even for the scooters that are not used for a long time.

Regular Maintenance

Users are advised to have their scooters checked 2 months after purchased or with 500 km travelled distance. Overall check and maintenance is advised to be conducted every 6 months or 3000 km thereafter.

Daily Maintenance

If any problem occurs during checks, please look through the Home Repair Instructions or send the scooter to the dealer's for checks and maintenance.

Device Washing

Please always take out the battery before washing the scooter. Please use neutral detergent and water to wash the scooter. Use soft cloth to wipe the scooter after washing to prevent scratching.

ATTENTION
If the scooter is frequently used in overload, high-speed, bumpy or up/downhill riding conditions, the maintenance cycle should be shortened.
For more guaranteed quality and longer service life, please use original parts, which are under normal warranty.

If incapable of repair or adjustment on his/her own, the scooter owner is advised to send the scooter to the dealer's for maintenance and adjustment for the sake of safety. Always choose a smooth surface road for repair and adjustment and unfold the central stand before repair and adjustment. If it's necessary to repair the scooter during a ride, mind the traffic.

Do not use pressure washer to wash the scooter, especially around the battery compartment. Do not flush the rear inner mudguard, where the charger, controller and other parts are installed behind. If the charging port on the scooter is wetted, please do not charge before the charger dries off. Contacting your dealer is recommended.

Short-term Storage

• Keep the scooter in flat, steady, well-ventilated and dry area.
• Charge the battery to 50% full before storage to maximize battery life.
• Avoid exposure under sunlight and rain to reduce damage or aging.

Long-term Storage

• Remember to have a charge and a discharge at least every 2 months and charge the battery to 50% full before storage to maximize battery life.
• Charge the battery to 100% full after long-term storage.
• Check all the parts carefully to make sure that there is no problem before riding it. If there's any problem, take the scooter to your dealer for maintenance or repair.

Please disconnect the battery with the scooter during storage.
