NOTE: The battery indicator will tell you if power is applied. The indicator only works when the key is switched ON and all battery connections are made. Your scooter is equipped with a battery saver circuit. It will shut off the controller after 20 minutes of non-use (even with your key "ON").

(See FIGURE 2). NOTICE: The battery charger provided is specially designed for use with PaceSaver brand equipment. In the unlikely event of failure it should be replaced only with a PaceSaver approved charger to assure proper performance ot the charger and scooter.
WARNING PaceSaver Titan and Atlas models are high performance vehicles. As with Sport Utility Vehicles they require more caution when operating. Because of the extra power and speed they are more susceptible to tipping in rough terrain and tight turns at high speed.
3. Posi-Lock Electric Braking Disk is activated with delay when all power is stopped to the motor. This electric brake has a short delay and ultimately holds the PaceSaver at a complete stop. The scooter cannot be moved when this brake is activated. Dynamic Braking works in conjunction with Posi-Lock Electric Braking to bring you to a gradual and complete stop.

500 lb capacity scooters include separate dis- connect plugs for the motor power and the motor brakes. To prevent pos- sible damage of the plugs, it is important that you disconnect the smaller (2-pin) brake connector plug fi rst. Locate the plugs above and slightly in front of the drive motor.
Disassembly and Assembly of the PaceSaver Scooter The PaceSaver’s patented separation makes it easy to disassemble and assemble. Complete disassembly can be accomplished in seconds WITHOUT tools. 1. Remove the key from the switch. (It should already be in the OFF position since it was placed there when you last got off the scooter).
Page 25
The following is the procedure for assembling the PaceSaver Scooter. With practice this will become easier and easier. 1. Align the silver tongue of the rear section with the square tube on the front section. Check that there are no cables caught between the two sections.
1. Never smoke or allow open fl ame or sparks around a charging battery. 2. Never charge a frozen battery. 3. Use a PaceSaver charger designed for charging deep-cycle gelcell and AGM batteries. 4. The user is instructed to NOT use the charger with a battery confi guration not matching the output voltage rating of the charger.

5. An extension cord is not recommended for use with this equipment. Use of an improperly rated extension cord could result in risk of fi re or electrical shock. Should it be required to use an extension cord, make certain that it is of 3-wire construction and has a wire size of at least 16-gage, and the cord must be in good electrical condition.

A TEMPORARY AC ADAPTER may be used to connect the plug provided with this charger to a two-pole receptacle if a properly grounded receptacle is not available. The temporary adapter should only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualifi ed electrician.

Useful Battery Information 1. The battery meter in the tiller's Control Console indicates the charge condition of the batteries while you are driving. The meter will not indicate the “true condition” while sitting still. The green area corresponds to a good charge. The red area corresponds to a low charge or to a deep cycle discharge condition.
Page 30
• Periodically check that all electrical connections are secure. Tips for maximizing the battery life and reducing total recharge time: • Always use the PaceSaver battery charger that is provided with the scooter. • Park the scooter in the shade whenever possible.
Page 31
In the unlikely event of failure we recommend replacement only with a PaceSaver brand charger. The charger is intended for use with AGM or gelcell sealed lead-acid deep cycle discharge type batteries only. This is a 24 volt DC charger for use only with batteries connected for 24 volt DC service.

fi xed time limit. Note: The PaceSaver Battery Charger used must used according to the instructions. Failure to do so may damage or destroy the batteries, give poor range, or be potentially dangerous. Batteries should not be abused (for example by regularly deep discharging) and must be operated and maintained according to the instructions.
The PaceSaver Onboard battery charger is recommended for use with deep cycle AGM or gel sealed lead acid batteries, and can be left "on charge" indefi nitely without harm to the batteries.

2. Check that the wall outlet has power to it. The outlet may be on a switch and will not function if not switched on. 3. If all connections are properly made and the unit is connected to a working outlet, check the fuse in the charger (see Fuse section).
- Check the tire pressure for proper infl ation. See the proper specifi cations for your scooter. - Clean the PaceSaver using a damp cloth with a mild soap. Use a minimal amount of water. Do not allow electrical components to get wet. Wipe dry.
In the same way a car would not last forever without service, a scooter should be maintained regularly. AND REMEMBER! If you ever notice any part of your PaceSaver scooter working in an improper or unsafe manner, stop riding it immediately and contact your dealer to arrange repairs.
Page 37
The recommended pressure for the tires is listed below. MAKE SURE that you are using the specifi cation for the STYLE PaceSaver that you own. Be careful not to overin- fl ate. Properly infl ated tires aid in the PaceSaver’s effi ciency. Under-infl ated tires require more energy to oll, thus decreasing scooter performance.
Troubleshooting 1. Turn the keyswitch off, and then back on again. 2. Some styles have a visible circuit breaker. It is located on the black controller housing near the chrome seat post (See FIGURE 14). You will not see any white on the button when it is switched in the correct operating position.

DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION Leisure Lift products are known for excellent reliability and service. To further enhance this capability, your PaceSaver is equipped with a state of the art diagnostic system. While the system does indicate basic areas the user can check, it's primary purpose is to help your dealer identify the problem to get your scooter repaired as quickly as possible.
3. Under-infl ated tires. Check for proper infl ation (check the specifi cations for your particular scooter). 4. Excessive weight on the cart. Remember that the PaceSaver takes a maximum of 300 Lbs. - Plus III Premier & Espree Premier 350 Lbs.
