Your scooter is equipped with two sealed, maintenance free 12 AH batteries.
n Charge the batteries prior to using your scooter for the first time.
n Keep the batteries fully charged to keep your scooter running smoothly.
READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE
The battery condition meter on the tiller console uses a color code to indicate
the approximate strength of your batteries. Green indicates fully charged bat-
teries, yellow a draining charge, and red indicates that an immediate recharge
is necessary. See figure 8.
To check the battery strength during charging, you must first unplug the charger
power cord and power up your scooter by inserting the key into the key switch.
NOTE: To ensure the highest accuracy, the battery condition meter should
be checked while operating your scooter at full speed on a level surface.
CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES
WARNING! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the charger
directly into a properly wired standard wall outlet.
WARNING! Removal of the grounding prong can create an electrical hazard. If necessary
properly install an approved 3-prong adaptor to an electrical outlet having 2-progned plug
access. Failure to heed could result in personal injury and or property damage.
The scooters battery pack can be charged on or off the scooter.
Follow these easy steps to charge your batteries safely:
1. Position your scooter close to a standard wall outlet.
2. Remove the key from the key switch.
3. Make certain that the manual freewheel lever is in the drive (pushed back) position.
4. Remove the charger power cord receptacle cover from the charger power cord receptacle and plug the 3-pin
off-board charger power cord into the receptacle.
5. Extend the charger power cord from the off-board battery charger and plug it into the wall outlet. It is
recommended that you charge your batteries for 8 to 14 hours.
6. When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the off-board charger power cord from the wall outlet and then
from the charger power cord receptacle.
7. Replace the charger power cord receptacle cover.

condition meter will not operate if the charger cord is not disconnected from the battery pack.
