FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why do my batteries require recharging?

Batteries are the fuel tank for your Scooter. They provide the

vital energy to power your vehicle. When you ride your

Scooter, the drive motor consumes the energy stored in the

batteries. The battery's energy is gradually reduced over the

period of driving time and will need to be replaced before

you can use your Scooter again. Similar to the situation with

a motor car, in that you need to replenish the petrol as it is

used up as energy, likewise with your Scooter, you need to

replace the used battery energy by re-charging the discharged

battery cells.

How does my Charger work?

Your battery Charger is an intelligent automatic charging

instrument. Your Charger's robust framework contains a

number of quality components; namely a transformer,

rectifier and complex control circuitry.

The Charger receives the 230 volts domestic electricity

supply via a standard 3-pin wall plug and reduces this voltage

down to 24volts via a transformer. At the same time it

rectifies the A.C., alternating domestic current into D.C.,

direct current. This matches exactly, the voltage characteristics

stored by your Scooter's batteries. Your Charger automatically

controls the re-charge cycle from the moment that you switch

it on to the moment the green Charge Complete' light on the

face of your Charger illuminates.

When your battery's voltage is very low, the Charger will work

extremely hard to replenish the spent energy.

This is called the 'Bulk Charging' stage. As the battery voltage

approaches 90% of the full charge capacity, the Charger

reduces its output for the final stage of the re-charge cycle.

The time taken from switch-on to the end of the bulk charging

will vary, depending on the amount that the batteries have

been used, or in time their age. At this point a timer is

automatically started, to regulate the final stage of the

charging cycle, this set time ensures maximum capacity and

battery life.The length of time to re-charge your batteries will

vary from 4 up to 6 hours. This variation in time is due to

the following

factors:

1. Depth of discharge - The amount of energy you have

removed from your batteries when driving your Scooter.

2. Battery age - This is due to the changes in their

internal electrical resistance. Note very old batteries

may take longer to fully recharge.

Where can I re-charge my batteries?

In most safe domestic environments, i.e. your house,

garage or shed. Do not expose to rain or spray - for

indoor use only. Later on in this information, there is

reference to the way temperature variations can affect

the performance of your vehicle. When charging your

batteries where reasonably practicable, ensure that the

battery Charger is close to the vehicle being charged so

that the temperature of the battery charger and

batteries are almost compatible. For example, a vehicle

may be outside whilst the battery charger is inside. It is

possible in this situation that the battery Charger will

sense the inside temperature, whereas the batteries on

the vehicle will be at the outside temperature, resulting

in an undercharged situation. This situation must be

avoided.

How often must I re-charge my batteries?

Many factors come into play when deciding how often to

charge your batteries. You may use your vehicle all day

on a daily basis or you may not use it for weeks at a time.

Other factors such as driver and baggage weight, smooth

or rough terrain, flat areas or inclines and speed must all

be considered.

With these variables you should concern yourself with

two questions: HOW OFTEN should I charge and for

HOW LONG? The Charger is designed so that it is

impossible to overcharge your batteries. If you follow

the guidelines below, your batteries will provide safe and

reliable operation.

1. If you use your vehicle during the day. put it on charge

as soon as you have finished using it. The Charger is

fully automatic so it will not overcharge your batteries.

Your vehicle will be ready each morning to give you

several hours use. It is recommended that you charge

your batteries after daily use until the green 'Charge

Complete' light illuminates.

2. If you use your vehicle infrequently (once a week or

less) you should charge it at least once per week

until the green light illuminates. Remember: Keep

your batteries fully charged and avoid deeply

discharging them.

3. Storing batteries : Batteries should always be stored

fully charged. Check once a month and recharge fully

if needed. Sealed batteries can hold their charge for

approx. 6 months. If they are left connected on the

Scooter, remember key switches, meters and electronic

circuits can drain the batteries rapidly. It is advisable

to disconnect the batteries for prolonged storage.

Store in a warm, dry room.

How can I ensure maximum battery life?

Simply put, a fully charged battery is a happy battery! A

fully charged battery will provide reliable performance

and extended battery life, so keep your batteries fully

charged whenever possible.

Handling your batteries Extra care must be taken when

handling batteries, if you decide to dismantle your

vehicle for transportation etc. Dropped batteries, even

from a very small height, can lead to damage of

the internal components, causing premature cell failure.

Your batteries are sealed and do not require

maintenance. Do not force open the valves in the battery

top.

Disposal

caution:

Used batteries must not be disposed of by means

of a domestic refuse disposal unit (dustbin) etc. Please

Contact your Dealer to dispose of used batteries. Please

note, he may charge for this service.

BATTERY WARRANTIES

The batteries fitted to your vehicle are guaranteed

against a manufacturing or material defect for 12 months.

Any battery faults due to a defect in manufacture or materials

will be obvious within a few weeks of use. Your batteries are

not guaranteed to perform to full capacity for 6 months. This

will, of course be dependent on the actual use of the vehicle

and how often the batteries are cycled i.e. discharged and

charged. Gradual deterioration in performance and reduction

in range is normal and associated with fair wear-and-tear,

misuse or accidental damage. Under these circumstances,

the warranty will not apply. It is a fact that some users due to

their hectic lifestyle, weight or operating conditions, may

wear their batteries out during the original battery

manufacturer's guarantee period due to extensive use of their

Scooter. This is termed 'Cycle Life'. Batteries have a defined

number of discharge cycles they can make i.e. the more

times you use your Scooter the more cycles your battery will

make- the shorter their life span.If you take time to run-

in your batteries properly, it will be worth it. Remember:

how long your batteries will provide service is quite often a

reflection of the care they receive. This is how to run-in your

new batteries:

1. Fully recharge any new batteries prior to your initial

use.This will bring your battery up to about 88%

performance.

2. Ride your vehicle around the house or garden. Do

notventure too far away until you become accustomed

to the controls and feel of the vehicle. This will gently

run-in your batteries.

3. Give your batteries another full charge and run the

vehicle again. The batteries will now perform to over

90% of their full potential.

4. After ten to fifteen charging cycles, the batteries will

top off at 100% charge and last for an extended period

due to your patience and care in the first few days of

operation.

How can I get the maximum operating time per charge?

Rarely do we have an ideal driving situation such as a

smooth, flat, hard terrain with no wind or curves and

warm temperatures. More often, we are presented with

hills, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, wind,

cold and heavy loads. All of these factors will affect the

distance or running time per battery charge.

Here are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum

range per charge:

1. Always charge your batteries fully prior to your trip.

It is a good idea to keep your

Charger connected

when the Charge Complete' (green) light is illuminated

in the 'Top-Up' maintance mode.

2. Plan your trip in advance to avoid inclines, kerbs and

soft surfaces.

3. Limit your baggage weight to essential items.

4. Try to maintain an even speed to avoid stop and start

driving.

5. Ensure recommended routine servicing of the

vehicle's components, i.e. motors, brakes, electrical

connections etc., is carried out as instructed in this

Users Instruction Manual.

Warning:

When working or disposing of your batteries

1. Do not allow metal objects to short out the terminals,

your battery could explode causing you injury.

2. Do not allow your batteries to freeze. If frozen allow

them to naturally thaw out before charging, failure to

observe this warning may damage the batteries.

3. If you need to replace your batteries, contact your

Days

Agent. Only batteries supplied as original

equipment on your machine will give you the best

performance. When charging batteries make certain

the positive and negative terminals are correctly

assembled. Failure to observe this warning may cause

an explosion, short circuit or fire.

4. Always handle batteries carefully, they are heavy.

Wear protective gloves and glasses when handling.

5. Dispose of worn out batteries carefully, contact your

local waste disposal authorit
