Follow these easy steps to charge your batteries
safely:
1. Position your Travel Scooter or battery
pack close to a standard electrical outlet.
See figure 14.
2. Remove the key from the key switch.
3. Make certain that the manual freewheel lever
is in the drive (rearward) position.
4. Plug the charger power cord into the charger
power cord receptacle on your Travel Scooter,
then into the electrical outlet. We recommend
that you charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours.
NOTE: The LED lights on the charger indicate
different charger conditions at various times.
Refer to the operating instructions supplied with
the charger for a complete explanation of these
indicators.
5. When the batteries are fully charged, unplug
the charger power cord from the electrical out-
let and then from the charger power cord
receptacle.
NOTE: There is a charger inhibit function on
your Travel Scooter. The Travel Scooter will not
run and the battery condition meter will not
operate while the batteries are charging (when
pack is being charged on the Travel Scooter).
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does the charger work?
When your Travel Scooter's battery voltage is low, the charger works harder, sending more electrical
current to the batteries to bring up their charge. As the batteries approach a full charge, the charger sends
less and less electrical current. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent from the charger is at
nearly zero amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on your Travel
Scooter's batteries, but does not overcharge them. We do not recommend that you charge your Travel
Scooter's batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
What if my Travel Scooter's batteries will not charge?
Ensure that the fuse on the battery pack is in working condition.
Ensure both ends of the charger power cord are inserted fully.
Can I use a different charger?
Chargers are selected precisely for particular applications and are especially matched to the type, size,
and chemical formulation of specific batteries. For the safest and most efficient charging of your
Travel Scooter's batteries, we recommend use of the charger supplied as original equipment with your
Pride product only. Any charging method resulting in batteries being charged individually is espe-
cially prohibited.
