The SHOPRIDER Deluxe is now separated into components for easy
transportation or storage.
Assembly is the reverse of the procedure.
Batteries and Battery Chargers
Batteries
The Deluxe is supplied with two maintenance free, sealed lead acid AGM
batteries. These are fitted under the seat on the scooter.
Low temperatures, rough terrain and the weight of the user can affect Battery
performance. Your battery gauge is a guide only on the level of charge
remaining in the batteries.
An active user can use 30% of the battery capacity or more per day.
An inactive user may only use 50% of the battery capacity in a week.
Note: Batteries recommended by RMA MUST be used if they need to be
replaced. An authorised RMA dealer must carry out battery replacement.
Battery Charger
Charge the batteries completely (8-12 hours) prior to first use.
Batteries supplied with your scooter are specially designed for use on
powerchairs and scooters and require an automatic battery charger. These
chargers have an electronic switch that terminates the charge when the
batteries are full.
The battery charger is a 3-amp automatic type off board. To charge the
batteries connect the plug lead into the charging socket (Fig. 5) on the tiller
and the 3-pin plug into the wall socket and switch on.
The battery charger has two lights. A constant red light will show when the
battery charger is connected (this will flash if there is a break in the
connection). The flashing green light indicates that the batteries are receiving
charge, this will change to solid green when the charging cycle is complete.
Caution: Always charge the batteries in a well-ventilated indoor area.
You must still maintain charging the batteries even if the scooter is not
to be used for a prolonged period of time (2 to 3 weeks). Failure to do so
could result in permanent damage and render the batteries unusable.
Wherever possible do not interrupt the charge cycle until the batteries
are fully charged. Continual interruption can permanently damage the
batteries. If the charging lead should become damaged discontinue use
immediately and seek a replacement from your dealer.
ONLY USE THE CHARGER SUPPLIED WITH YOUR SCOOTER. Do not
leave the charger plugged into to the charger port after the charge is
complete. ALWAYS remove the keys from the scooter when charging.
