NOTE: There is a charger inhibit function on your scooter. The scooter will not run and the battery condition meter will not operate while the batteries are charging.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does the charger work?
When your scooter’s battery voltage is low, the charger works harder, sending more electrical current to the batteries to bring up their charge. As the batteries approach a full charge, the charger sends less and less electrical current. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent from the charger is at nearly zero amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on your scooter’s batteries but does not overcharge them. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for charging instructions.

Can I use a diﬀ erent charger?
Chargers are selected precisely for particular applications and are specially matched to the type, size and chemical formulation of speciﬁ c batteries. For the safest and most eﬃ cient charging of your scooter’s batteries, we recommend only use of the charger supplied as original equipment with your product. Any charging method resulting in batteries being charged individually is especially prohibited.

BATTERIES AND CHARGING

What if my scooter’s batteries won’t charge?

Ensure the red (+) and black (-) battery cables are connected properly to the battery terminals.
Ensure both battery harnesses that extend from the batteries are plugged into their mating harness leading to the charger.
Ensure both ends of the charger power lead are inserted fully.
Ensure the charger fuse on the tiller is not blown. See ﬁ gure 21.

How often must I charge the batteries?
Two major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your scooter’s batteries:

All day scooter use on a daily basis.
Infrequent or sporadic scooter use.
With these considerations in mind, you can determine how often and for how long you should charge your scooter’s batteries. The battery charger was designed so that it will not overcharge your scooter’s batteries. However, you may encounter some problems if you do not charge your batteries often enough and if you do not charge them on a regular basis. Following the guidelines below will provide safe and reliable battery operation and charging.
If you use your scooter daily, charge its batteries as soon as you ﬁ nish using it for the day. Your scooter will be ready each morning. We recommend that you charge your scooter’s batteries for at least 8 to 14 hours after daily use. We recommend that you charge the batteries for an additional 4 hours after the battery charger indicates that charging is complete.
If you use your scooter once a week or less, charge its batteries at least once a week for at least 24 hours. NOTE: Keep your batteries fully charged and avoid deeply discharging your batteries. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for charging instructions. We recommend charging your batteries for at least 48 continuous hours once per month to improve battery performance and battery life.
How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?
Rarely will you have ideal driving conditions—smooth, ﬂ at, hard-driving surfaces with no wind or curves. Often, you will face hills, pavement cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves and wind, all of which aﬀ ect the distance or running time per battery charge. Below are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range per battery charge.
Always fully charge your scooter’s batteries prior to daily use.
Maintain but do not exceed the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tire.
Plan your route ahead to avoid as many hills, cracked, broken or soft surfaces as possible.
Limit your baggage weight to essential items.
Try to maintain an even speed while your scooter is in motion.
Avoid stop-and-go driving.
We recommend charging your batteries for at least 24 continuous hours once per month to improve battery performance and battery life.
Make sure all harness connections are secured properly.

How can I ensure maximum battery life?
Fully charged deep-cycle batteries provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your scooter’s batteries fully charged whenever possible. Protect your scooter and batteries from extreme heat or cold. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life. NOTE: To extend battery life, always turn oﬀ the scooter and remove the key when not in use.

What type and size of battery should I use?
We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance-free. Both AGM and Gel-Cell are deep-cycle batteries that are similar in performance. Do not use wet-cell batteries, which have removable caps. Refer to the speciﬁ cations table for size as batteries diﬀ er depending on the manufacturer.

WARNING! Corrosive chemicals are contained in batteries. Use only AGM or Gel-Cell batteries to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions.
NOTE: Sealed batteries are not serviceable. Do not remove the caps.

Why do my new batteries seem weak?
Deep-cycle batteries employ a diﬀ erent chemical technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries (nicads) and other common battery types. Deep-cycle batteries are speciﬁ cally designed to provide power, drain down their charge and then accept a relatively quick recharge.
We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide batteries that best suit your scooter’s speciﬁ c electrical demands. Fresh batteries are shipped fully charged to our customers. During shipping, the batteries may encounter temperature extremes that can inﬂ uence their initial performance. Heat diminishes the charge on the battery; cold slows the available power and extends the time needed to recharge the battery.
It may take a few days for the temperature of your scooter’s batteries to stabilize and adjust to their new room or ambient temperature. More importantly, it takes a few charging cycles (partial draining followed by full recharging) to establish the critical chemical balance that is essential to a deep-cycle battery’s peak performance and long life.

Follow these steps to properly break in your scooter’s new batteries for maximum e ﬃciency and service life:

Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This charging cycle brings the battery up to about 88%of its peak performance level.
Operate your new scooter in familiar and safe areas. Drive slowly at ﬁ rst and do not travel too far from your home or familiar surroundings until you have become accustomed to your scooter’s controls and have properly broken in your scooter’s batteries.
Fully recharge the batteries. They should be at over 90% of their peak performance level.
Operate your scooter again, and fully recharge the batteries again.
After four or ﬁ ve charging cycles, the batteries are able to receive a charge of 100% of their peak performance level and are able to last for an extended period of time.

What about public transportation?
AGM and Gel-Cell batteries are designed for application in scooters and other mobility vehicles. These batteries are Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved (the United States only), allowing safe transportation on aircraft, buses, and trains, as there is no danger of spillage or leakage. We suggest you contact the carrier’s ticket counter in advance to determine the carrier’s speciﬁ c requirements.

How do I change the battery in my scooter?

MANDATORY! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash hands after handling.
PROHIBITED! Always use two batteries of the exact same type, chemistry and amp-hour (Ah) capacity. Refer to the speciﬁ cations table with this manual and in the manual supplied with the battery charger for recommended type and capacities.
WARNING! Do not mix old and new batteries. Always replace both batteries at the same time.
WARNING! Contact your authorized provider if you have any questions regarding the batteries in your scooter.
WARNING! Do not replace the batteries while the scooter is occupied.
WARNING! The batteries on your scooter should only be serviced or replaced by an authorized provider or a qualiﬁ ed technician.
PROHIBITED! Keep tools and other metal objects away from battery terminals. Contact with tools can cause electrical shock.

You may need the following to change your batteries:

Metric/standard socket set and ratchet
Adjustable wrench

WARNING! Do not lift beyond your physical capability. Ask for assistance when necessary while disassembling or assembling your scooter.
WARNING! Do not pull on electrical harness wires directly to detach them from the scooter. Always grasp the connector itself when disconnecting the harness to prevent wire damage.

Power Seat Adjustment (if available)
Your scooter may be equipped with a power seat. The power seat actuator is designed to raise or lower the seat with minimal eﬀ ort on the part of the operator. The power seat switch is located on the tiller console.

WARNING! The power seat is intended for operation only while your scooter is stationary and on a level surface. Its purpose is to aid you in reaching objects. Drive your scooter only with the power seat in the lowest position. Driving the scooter with the power seat elevated could cause instability in the scooter, resulting in a tip or a fall.
Strict adherence to the following safety rules is vital to your safety:

Operate the power seat only while completely stationary on level ground.
Do not press the throttle control lever and the power seat switch at the same time.
Do not operate your scooter with the power seat elevated. Operate the scooter only with the power seat fully retracted (in the lowest position).
Never place your scooter in freewheel mode with the power seat elevated.
Use extreme caution when reaching for objects with your power seat elevated. Do not overextend or attempt to pick up objects that might affect your balance.
Do not attempt to raise or lower the seat while in motion.

Before operating the power seat, ensure your scooter is level and stationary and the speed adjustment dial is set to the slowest setting.

To operate the power seat:

Press and hold the upper part of the power seat switch (see ﬁ gure 1) to raise the seat. Release the switch when you have attained your desired height or upon reaching the highest position.
Press and hold the lower part of the power seat switch to lower the seat. Release the switch when you have attained your desired height or upon reaching the lowest position.

WARNING!
Be sure to listen for any audible performance changes when operating the power seat. If the operational sound of power seat actuator changes at any time, lower the seat immediately to the lowest position and contact your authorized provider. Failure to stop operating the power seat when an audible performance change is encountered may result in personal injury and/or property damage.

NOTE:
The scooter must be stopped in order for the power seat to be operated. If the power seat switch is pressed while the scooter is in motion, the scooter will slow and come to a stop. The scooter may also produce a fault code. If a fault code occurs, you will need to turn the scooter’s power oﬀ , then back on again before proceeding.
Instances may occur when the power seat is raised to reach something or get a better vantage point and not returned to its lowest position before operating the scooter again. Depending on how high the power seat is raised, your scooter’s speed will be reduced when operating the scooter.

Elevating the power seat to approximately one-half of its maximum height limits your scooter’s speed to half that set with the speed adjustment dial. If the power seat is elevated to approximately three-quarters of its maximum height, the scooter will not move if the throttle control lever is pressed. The power seat must be lowered to slightly under three-quarters of its maximum height in order to drive the scooter again. The scooter cannot be driven at full speed until the scooter’s seat is lowered to approximately one-half of its maximum height.
It is strongly recommended that the scooter not be operated with the power seat elevated.

Accessory Bracket
The rear-mounted accessory bracket allows you to attach a personal accessory such as a basket, walker holder, or oxygen tank to the back of your scooter. Use the detent pin to securely mount your item to the accessory bracket. See ﬁ gure 15. See your authorized provider for details.

MIRROR POSITION
To install the mirror (see ﬁ gure 1):

Determine on which side to install the mirror and remove the rubber plug from the top of the tiller handle.
Insert the threaded end of the mirror holder into the opening and rotate it clockwise until snug.
If necessary, rotate the nut clockwise to secure the mirror in place.

To adjust the mirror:

Position yourself in a seated driving position facing forward.
Adjust the mirror left, right, up or down until you have a good line of sight behind you.

POSITIONING BELT (OPTIONAL)
Your scooter seat may be equipped with a positioning belt that can be adjusted for operator comfort. See ﬁ gure 17. The positioning belt is designed to help support the operator so that he or she does not slide down or forward in the seat. The positioning belt is not designed for use as a restraining device.

WARNING! The positioning belt is not designed for use as a seat belt in a motor vehicle. Nor is your scooter suitable for use as a seat in any vehicle. Anyone traveling in a vehicle should be properly belted into seats approved by the vehicle manufacturer.
WARNING! The positioning belt should be secured at all times. Never allow the positioning belt to hang or drag on the ﬂ oor as it may become entangled.

To install the positioning belt (if required):

Remove the seat from your scooter.
Place the seat upside down so that you can see the bottom of the seat base. See ﬁ gure 17.
Use a wrench to remove the two rear bolts that attach the seat frame to the seat base.
Insert the bolt through the appropriate ends of the positioning belt and then reinstall the bolts back into the seat frame.
Tighten the bolts.

Replacement nylon insert lock nuts are available at local hardware stores or through your authorized provider.

STORING YOUR SCOOTER
If you plan on not using your scooter for an extended period of time, it is best to:

Fully charge its batteries prior to storage.
Disconnect the batteries from the scooter.
Store your scooter in a warm, dry environment.
Avoid storing your scooter where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.
Although your scooter can withstand short-term storage temperatures between -40°F (-40°C) to 149°F (65°C), it is recommended that long-term storage temperatures be between -13°F (-25°C) and 122°F (50°C). Ideal storage conditions are 68°F (20°C) to 70°F (21°C) wherever possible, but we realize that is not always feasible due to diﬀ erent climates and environments.
WARNING! Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a frozen battery. Charging a frozen battery can result in damage to the battery.

Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life. It is recommended that you charge the scooter batteries periodically throughout periods of prolonged storage to ensure proper performance.
You may wish to place several boards under the frame of your scooter to raise it oﬀ of the ground during periods of prolonged storage. This takes the weight oﬀ the tires and reduces the possibility of ﬂ at spots developing on the areas of the tires contacting the ground.

DISPOSAL OF YOUR SCOOTER
Your scooter must be disposed of according to applicable local and national statutory regulations. Contact your local waste disposal agency or authorized provider for information on the proper disposal of packaging, metal frame components, plastic components, electronics, batteries, neoprene, silicone and polyurethane materials.
WARNING! Plastic bags are a suffocation hazard. Dispose of plastic bags properly and do not allow children to play with them.
