CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES

If you use your SHOPRIDER™ during
the day, charge up your batteries as soon
as you get home.
Your charger is fully automatic, so you
cannot overcharge your batteries.Your
SHOPRIDER™ will be ready each
morning to give you a full day's service.
It is good practice to have your shoprid-
er charger plugged in and charging at all
times while the scooter is not in use.
Make sure that you put your scooter on
charge the night before you are going to
operate it, if you have not used your
SHOPRIDER™ for more than 3 days.
If not using your SHOPRIDER™ for
extended periods of time, make sure the
batteries are fully charged.This can be
achieved simply by charging your batter-
ies overnight, once every two weeks.
The batteries for your scooter should be
kept at room temperature.
BATTERIES
Your SHOPRIDER™ scooter uses GEL-
sealed lead acid or sealed lead acid deep
cell batteries.They are maintenance free
and transportable on airplanes, trains,
automobiles etc., as there is no danger
or spillage or leaking.
Some aeroplanes may require docu-
mentation regarding transporting the
batteries.
Please check with your airline before
travelling and have your local dealer
contact us.
BATTERY CHARGING

Plug the charger into wall socket making
sure the switch is in the OFF position.

(the three prong plug) into the intercon-
nect socket on the right side of the tiller
as shown in figure 14.

on the charger will light up, and the
amber light will come on to indicate that
the batteries are now being charged.
Leave the scooter charging for at least
12 to 16 hours to bring the scooter to

charged this light will change to green).

with stand-by mode which ensures that
you cannot overcharge your batteries.
