Battery Charging & Maintenance - Shoprider GK10 Instruction Manual

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 represent 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.
