VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
Your Legend uses two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. They are
recharged by an onboard 3-amp charging system designed for ease of use and convenience.
n Charge your Legends batteries prior to using it for the first time.
n Keep your batteries fully charged to keep your Legend running trouble free.
Follow these easy steps to charge your batteries safely:
1. Position your scooter close to a standard wall outlet.
2. Remove the key from the control console assembly.
3. Make certain that the manual freewheel lever is in the down (drive) position. See figure 8.
4. Plug the charger cord into the charger power cord receptacle on the scooter.
5. Extend the charger power cord and plug it into the wall outlet.
NOTE: There is a charger inhibit on your scooter. The scooter will not run and the battery condition meter
will not operate while the batteries are charging.
6. It is recommended that you charge your batteries for 8 to 14 hours. You can check this periodically by the
battery condition meter on the control console assembly. However, you must first unplug the battery charger
and then insert the key. The battery condition meter on the control console assembly indicates the approximate
strength of your batteries. See figure 11. You can also check the charge by the ammeter which is visible on the
rear electronics module. The battery charger must be plugged into a wall outlet to obtain a reading. When the
amperage reading is at or near zero (0) amps, the battery charging is complete. See figure 12.
7. When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the charger power cord from the wall outlet and then from the
charger power cord receptacle.
