charge remaining in your batteries
and will give its best indication while
the scooter is moving.
Note: Batteries recommended by
RMA MUST be used if they need to be replaced. An authorised RMA
dealer must carry out battery replacement.
Battery Charger
The battery charger is a 2-amp transformer type off board. The battery
charging port is located on the battery pack (Fig. 9). This special feature
allows the batteries to be charged independently of the main scooter.
Before using our scooter for the first time be sure to fully charge the batteries,
this may take up to 12 hours.
To charge the batteries connect the 3-pin male charger plug into the charging
socket on the battery pack. Plug the 3-pin mains plug into a wall socket and
switch on. A red light will illuminate on the charger. This light will change to
green once the charge cycle is complete. Turn off the mains power and press
the button on the battery pack to remove the plug when charging is complete
Caution! Do not charge the batteries for longer than 12 hours. Always
charge the batteries in a well-ventilated indoor area. You must still
maintain charging the batteries even if the scooter is not to be used for
a prolonged period of time (2 to 3 weeks). Failure to do so could result in
permanent damage and render the batteries unusable. Wherever
possible do not interrupt the charge cycle until the batteries are fully
charged. Continual interruption can permanently damage the batteries.
If the charging lead should get damaged discontinue use immediately
and seek a replacement from your dealer. ONLY USE THE CHARGER
SUPPLIED WITH YOUR SCOOTER. Do not leave the charger plugged
into to the charger port after the charge is complete. ALWAYS turn off
the scooter's power when charging. Turn off mains power before
unplugging the lead from the battery pack.
