VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING

Your Sport Scooter requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free.

They are recharged by an onboard 3-amp charging system.

n Charge your Sport Scooters batteries prior to using it for the first time.

n Keep the batteries fully charged to keep your Sport Scooter running smoothly.

READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE

The battery condition LED on the control console assembly indicates the approximate strength of your batteries

using a color coded LED. See figure 11. Green indicates fully charged batteries, yellow a draining charge, and red

indicates that an immediate recharge is necessary. To check the charge, you must first unplug the charger power

cord and power up your Sport Scooter. To ensure the highest accuracy, the battery condition meter should be

checked while operating your Sport Scooter at full speed on a dry, level surface.

You can also check the charge by the ammeter, located on the electronics module. The charger power cord must

be plugged into a standard wall outlet in order to obtain a reading. When the amperage reading is at or near zero

amps, charging is complete. See figure 12.

CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES

Follow these easy steps to charge your batteries safely:

1. Position your Sport Scooter close to a standard wall outlet.

2. Remove the key from the key switch.

3. Make certain that the freewheel lever is in the drive (down) position.

4. Plug the charger power cord into the charger power cord receptacle on your Sport Scooter.

5. Extend the charger power cord and plug it into the wall outlet. It is recommended that you charge your

batteries for 8 to 14 hours.

6. When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the charger power cord from the wall outlet and then from the

charger power cord receptacle.

NOTE: There is a charger inhibit function on your Sport Scooter. The Sport Scooter will not run and the

battery condition meter will not operate while the batteries are charging.

WARNING! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the charger

directly into a properly wired standard wall outlet.

WARNING! Removal of the grounding prong can create an electrical hazard. If necessary

properly install an approved 3-prong adaptor to an electrical outlet having 2-pronged plug

access. Failure to heed could result in personal injury and or property damage.
