immediate recharge is necessary.

your scooter at full speed on a dry, level surface.

The off-board charger supplied with your scooter is equipped with a 115/230 voltage switch. Confirm that this
switch is in the proper position for your locality. If you are not sure what the voltage is in your country, contact your
local electricity provider before connecting the charger power lead to an electrical outlet. If the setting is incorrect,
the charger will not function properly. Slide the voltage switch to the appropriate position. See figure 8.
The LED lights on the charger indicate different charger conditions at various times: charger power on, charging in
progress, charging complete. Refer to the label on the charger for a complete explanation of these indicators.
