Ramps have specified percentage of inclination, designed for easy and safe access. Some ramps may have turning switchbacks (180 degree turns) that require you to have good cornering skills on your Scooter. Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline, sit right back in your seat, brace your arms on the handlebars and your feet on the floorboard. Take a wide arc with your front wheel around tight corners, your rear wheels will follow preventing you from cutting the corner short and bumping or getting hung up on raised kerbs. When descending an incline keep your speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a safely controlled descent and driving in a forward direction only. If your Scooter descent is quicker than you anticipated allow the Scooter to completely stop, then progress at a slower speed setting. When climbing an incline, try to keep your Scooter moving, if you must stop, start up again slowly and then accelerate smoothly with caution. Avoid sudden stop starts, lean forward towards your handlebars to increase stability and prevent rearward tipping. When climbing an incline, do not zig-zag or drive at an angle up the face of the incline. Drive your Scooter smoothly up the incline without stopping, this greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. You should not travel over a potentially hazardous incline i.e. areas covered with ice or snow, cut grass or wet leaves or any unstable surface.

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. 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. 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 battery fully charged Many factors come into play when deciding how often to charge your battery. 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 battery. If you follow the guidelines below, your battery 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 battery fully charged and avoid deeply discharging them. 3. Storing battery : Battery 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 battery rapidly. It is advisable to disconnect the batteries for prolonged storage. Store in a warm, dry room. Where can I re-charge my battery? How often must I re-charge my battery?

Battery carry a limited guarantee from the original manufacturer which is subject to a stringent wear and tear clause. Any battery faults due to a defect in the original manufacture will normally become obvious within the first two months. Any gradual deterioration in performance after this period is normally associated with fair wear and tear, mis-use or accidental damage and, as such, is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty (This does not affect your statutory rights). Note: If one battery becomes faulty during the guarantee period only that battery from the pair will be replaced. In circumstances when your Scooter is stowed in your car etc., your battery can be recharged away from your Scooter with charging cable. The cable links together your battery pack and Charger. Simply connect the 3-pin plug on your battery pack ,Connect your Charger to a convenient wall socket, switch on, your battery are now being recharged away from your Scooter. Battery is 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. 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 CHARGING YOUR BATTERY AWAY FROM YOUR SCOOTER FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Why do my battery require recharging?

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 battery to freeze. If frozen allow them to naturally thaw out before charging, failure to observe this warning may damage the battery. 3. If you need to replace your battery, contact your Agent. Only battery supplied as original equipment on your machine will give you the best performance. When charging battery 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 battery carefully, they are heavy. Wear protective gloves and glasses when handling. 5. Dispose of worn out battery carefully, contact your local waste disposal authority. 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 battery fully prior to your trip. It is a good idea to keep your again. The battery will now perform to over 90% of their full potential. 4. After ten to fifteen charging cycles, the battery 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.

The battery 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 battery 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 battery is 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 battery out during the original battery manufacturer's guarantee period due to extensive use of their Scooter. This is termed 'Cycle Life'. Battery has 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 battery properly, it will be worth it. Remember: how long your battery will provide service is quite often a reflection of the care they receive. This is how to run-in your new battery: 1. Fully recharge any new battery 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 not venture too far away until you become accustomed to the controls and feel of the vehicle. This will gently run-in your battery. 3.

IMPORTANT SPEED CONTROLLER INFORMATION GENERAL DESCRIPTION SAFETY CONDITIONS MONITORED INCLUDE FAULT DIAGNOSIS CHARGING CIRCUIT FUSE Speed control system integrity. Internal voltages and circuits. Motor voltages and circuits. Freewheel speed limiting downhill. Battery voltage. When the battery voltage is low, the 'status' indicator light situated on the control console (a light positioned on the power switch) will flash slowly as a warning to recharge your batteries. If the 'speed controller' detects a fault the light will flash rapidly, with the number of flashes indicating the nature of the fault. For example, the controller will not operate if the speed thumb lever (wig-wag) is not in the zero speed position with the Scooter switched 'on'. Return the speed lever (Wig-Wag) to the zero speed position, when the scooter will be allowed to operate normally once again. If your Scooter is switch 'on' but not operated for a set period of time (15 minutes approx) the speed controller system will automatically turn itself 'off' to conserve valuable battery energy. It can be turned on again by turning the on/off switch to 'off', and then to 'on' again. Faults with the main speed controller are rare. Most faults on powered vehicles are associated with wiring or misconnections due to poor maintenance or incorrect installation of connectors when assembling the Scooter after transportation in a car. If your Scooter should fail to operate you will be assisted in diagnosis and locating the area of the fault by observing the number of flashes emitted from the 'green' status light on your control console. If your Scooter fails to operate and the status light is not illuminated, first check the points abore mentioned under 'FAULT FINDING'. If your green status indicator light is flashing, first switch your Scooter to 'off' and back to 'on' again to see if the problem will clear. If the 'status' light continues to flash and your Scooter will not drive, refer to the 'STATUSFAULTS CODE' and take the appropriate remedial action as advised in the 'comments' column.
