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 inserting the charger power cord plug into your electrical outlet. If the setting is
incorrect, the charger will not function properly. Slide the voltage switch to the appropriate position. See figure 12.
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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does the charger work?
When your 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. There-
fore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on your scooter's batteries, but does not overcharge
them. We do not recommend that you charge your scooter's batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
