BATTERIES AND CHARGING

Your scooter requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that
are sealed and maintenance free. They are recharged by an off -board
charging system.
 Charge your scooter's batteries for at least 8 to 14 hours prior to using
it for the fi rst time.
 Keep the batteries fully charged to keep your scooter running smoothly.
READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE
The battery condition meter on the tiller console indicates the approximate
strength of your batteries using a color code. From right to left, green
indicates fully charged batteries, yellow indicates a draining charge, and red
indicates that an immediate recharge is necessary. See fi gure 12. To ensure
the highest accuracy, the battery condition meter should be checked while
operating your scooter at full speed on a dry, level surface. For models with
the LCD screen, please refer to the "Battery Condition Indicator" section on
page 14.

CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES

electrical hazard. If necessary, properly install an
approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet having
2-pronged plug access.

battery charger. Plug the charger directly into a properly
wired standard electrical outlet.

near the scooter while the batteries are charging. We
recommend that you do not charge the batteries while
the scooter is occupied.

charger before charging the batteries.
WARNING! Explosive gases may be generated while charging the batteries. Keep the scooter and
battery charger away from sources of ignition such as fl ames or sparks and provide adequate
ventilation when charging the batteries.
WARNING! You must recharge your scooter's batteries with the supplied off-board charger. Do
not use an automotive-type battery charger.
