Battery Storage; Tip Protectors - Vermeiren L3-Carpo 3 Mode D'emploi

BATTERY STORAGE

If you no longer use your scooter, you could leave it connected to the battery charger. Charging is
automatically controlled by the battery charger. If you remove and store the batteries, kindly note the
following:
Remove the cable clamps from the poles of the battery.
•
The positive pole must at least be covered by a pole cap.
•
Make sure that no objects can make contact with both poles during the time of storage (danger of
•
short circuits!).
Batteries should only be stored in dry, well-ventilated spaces at a temperature between 5°C and
•
+40°C. +20°C).
Protect the plugs and sockets against corrosion.
•
Protect the batteries against deep discharging (see the chapter on battery charging).
•
If you have further questions, consult your specialist dealer who will gladly help you in regard to
storage and servicing of your batteries.
L
If batteries are not used, they can discharge fully.
THERMAL SAFETY MECHANISM
To protect the motor against overload, your scooter comes with a thermal safety mechanism that will
automatically cut the motor to prevent overheating and thus rapid wear and tear or breakdowns. You
can access the thermal safety device through a gap in back of the synthetic cover. For those models
that have no synthetic cover, the thermal safety mechanism will be located on the battery boxes.
The thermal safety device can go loose if you go up or down slopes that exceed the maximum
gradient indicated. Nominal loads that exceed the maximum permitted could also cause the device to
jump out. Likewise, if you keep on driving with the engine brake on, it could result in overload. The
maximum values not to exceed are indicated in the chapter on "Technical Details" of the
corresponding manual.
To be able to use the scooter again, remove the overload and wait till the motor has cooled off. Then
gently press the thermal safety mechanism back in. Your scooter is now ready for use again.
TIP PROTECTOR
A tip protector fixed to the frame is part of the standard equipment of some of the models. It is thus not
possible to remove it. The tip protector is there for your safety. It prevents the scooter from tipping
over backward when you drive over small obstacles that do NOT exceed the maximum height
specified.
With other models, the tip protector can be removed.
Pull out the safety pins of the tip protector.
•
Then pull out the tip protector.
•
Insert the safety pins into the holes of the frame again to avoid losing them.
