Follow the procedure below step by step:
1. Turn the power switch to (OFF).
2. Lift out the battery pack using the handle
on the pack.
3. Plug the charger's power cord into the
mains.
4. Plug the charger's round plug into the
charging socket of the battery pack
5. Switch on the plug socket.
6. The charger's LED will illuminate orange to
indicate the batteries are charging. The char-
ging duration is about 8 hours. To ensure op-
timum performance a 12-hour charge is
recommended.
7. The orange LED will turn green when char-
ging is complete.
8. Turn off the charger, disconnect the power
cord and the round plug from the battery
pack.
Suggestions
1. Do not disconnect the charger cord if
charging Is not completed. The battery life will
be seriously shortened or decayed if the bat-
tery is repeatedly used without being fully
charged. Therefore be sure to charge the bat-
tery fully every time.
2. Always complete the charging until the LED
light turns green. NEVER stop charging before
it is complete.
3. When fully charged, the battery charger
will still trickle charge the battery to ensure op-
timum range.
4. If you do not use your powerpack for a
long time, it should be charged at least every
week to keep the battery in a fully usable con-
dition.
5. The ambient temperature will affect char-
ging time. Charging time will be longer in the
winter.
6. After charging, do not leave the charger
socket plugged in to the scooter, as this will
cause a power drain on the powerpack and
temporarily reduce its range.
ND C RE 7. The batteries carry an six month manufac-
turer's warranty. This warranty only covers is-
sues relating to manufacturing faults, and not
faults relating to failure to recharge the batte-
ries as instructed above.
ttention: Please follow the rules below to

Charger
The charger supplied has an LED which
changes colour depending on its status:
If the LED is lit ORANGE then the charger is
switched on and charging
If the LED is lit GREEN then the charger is
switched on and has finished the bulk of its
charging and the batteries can be used. How-
ever, we recommend that you leave the
charger charging for a couple of hours after
the green LED has lit. This will maintain and
increase the capacity of your batteries.
