Simply take your time and you will soon become confident and in control as you manoeuvre through doorways, on and off elevators, up and down ramps and over moderate terrain. Below are some tips, precautions and other safety measures that will help you to become accustomed to the safe operation of your scooter.
SAFETY CHECK
●
●
●
●
Get to know the feel of your scooter and it's capabilities. The dealer recommends that you perform a safety check before each use to make certain your scooter operates smoothly and safely. For details on how to perform these necessary inspections, see the
"Care and Maintenance" section of this manual. Perform the following inspection prior to using your scooter.
● Check tyre inflation, Rear tyres maintained at 35 p.s.i.(2.5 bar); Front tyres maintained at 30 p.s.i.(2.1bar).
Check all battery connections, making certain they are tight and not corroded.
Check batteries have been fully charged.
Check operation of brakes.
Check operation of all lights.
！
Warning: It is critical that the pressure in the pneumatic tyres is maintained at all times.
Failure to observe this warning may result in a serious failure of the tyre or wheel, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to your scooter
16
SOLID TYRE INSERTS (PUNCTURE PROOFING)
Your scooter is fitted with pneumatic tyres(air) as standard equipment, the pneumatic quality and feel of these tyres greatly enhances the ride quality of your scooter. We DO NOT recommend the fitting of solid inserts to replace the air pressure in your wheels, these products add unnecessary weight and place more stress on the suspension components of your scooter. If puncture resisting security is desired then use an appropriate liquid sealer, your local dealer can advise you on these systems.
！
Warning: DO NOT carry passengers on your scooter. Your Scooter is designed for a single occupant which complies with legal requirements for pavement vehicles. Carrying passengers on your scooter may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
WEIGHT LIMIT
Your scooter is rated for a maximum 155kg (342lbs) weight limit.
！
Warning: Exceeding the weight limit will void your warranty and may result in personal injury and damage to your scooter.
The dealer will not be held responsible for injuries and/or property damage resulting from failure to observe these weight limitations. Please also remember when carrying heavy objects that this will increase your weight and may make your scooter unstable.
CORNERING
Excessively high cornering speeds can create the possibility of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility of tipping include, but are not limited to, cornering speed, steering angle (how sharply you are turning), uneven surfaces, inclined surfaces (such as heavily cambered pavements), riding from an area of low traction to an area of high traction (such as passing from grass areas to a paved area - especially at high speed while turning), and abrupt directional changes. DO NOT corner at high speed! If you feel that you may tip over in a corner, reduce your speed and steering angle to prevent your scooter from tipping.
！
Warning: When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. When using your at higher speeds, anticipate changes in the road surface. This will greatly reduce the possibility of a tip or fall. To avoid personal injury or property damage, ALWAYS exercise common sense when cornering.
It is ALWAYS advisable when cornering to lean towards the corner, just as you would on a bicycle, this will enhance the sideways stability of your scooter.
BRAKING
17
Your scooter is equipped with two powerful electronic brake systems, and an emergency manual system:
1.
2.
Regenerative: Uses the electricity generated in your scooter drive motor to rapidly slow your scooter when the speed direction lever is returned to the centre (neutral drive) stop position.
Disc Park Brake: Located on the end of your drive motor, it activates mechanically after the regenerative brake slows your scooter to a near stop, or when power is removed from the drive system for any reasons, as in the case of switching your machine off.
3.
Mechanical (Emergency) Brake: Two drum brakes positioned on the front wheels can be activated by the lever positioned to the left hand side of the handlebars. The brakes are operated by squeezing the lever for emergency braking, as in the unlikely event of transmission failure.
Brake engagement is far more abrupt at higher speeds. It is important that you anticipate when the brakes will engage and that you are braced for the resulting deceleration. Practice braking on level ground to understand your braking distance time.

Warning: Your scooter can decelerate very quickly. DO NOT decelerate or turn abruptly when travelling at high speed unless absolutely necessary. If it is necessary to decelerate or turn abruptly when driving at high speed, brace yourself by gripping the steering handlebar tightly and positioning your feet firmly on the floorboard. Users who cannot grip the handlebar tightly and/or place their feet firmly against the footboard should avoid deceleration from or turning abruptly at high speed, and therefore should avoid travelling at high speed. Failure to observe this warning could result in serious personal injury and property damage. ALWAYS brace yourself firmly when decelerating your scooter.
Never drive down slopes at full speed, ALWAYS adjust your speed to the driving condition and allow for gradual descents on inclines.
Note: when descending a slope it is good practice to switch your scooter into the Lo (4mph) speed range, this can be activated while you are driving.
OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES
●
●
●
Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions i.e. dry, level surfaces composed of concrete or asphalt. However, the dealer recognizes that there will be times when you will encounter other surfaces such as packed soil, grass and gravel. These surfaces may not be sound and fail to give good traction, caution should be considered before driving on this type of surface to prevent stability problems resulting in injury or damage to your scooter.
●
●
Reduce your scooters speed to the "Lo" switch position when driving on uneven terrain or soft surfaces.
Avoid long and unsafe grass that can become tangles in the running gear or may hide debris and holes.
Avoid loosely packed sand and gravel.
If you feel unsure about a driving surface, please anticipate and avoid that surface.
ALWAYS avoid kerbs if possible use "cut-outs" in pavements.
STREET AND ROADWAY DRIVING
！
Warning: Your scooter has not been designed for operation on public streets and roads.
It is designed for operation on pedestrian pavements and traffic free shopping areas.
Your scooter must be driven with due care and compliance with the Road Traffic Acts and conditions of the Highway Code. ALWAYS obey all local pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed with extreme caution.
18
19
Note: ALWAYS wear light or illuminating clothing when driving your scooter.
Be aware that it may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your scooter. Only drive your scooter on the pavement at the "Lo" 4mph (6km) speed range, it is illegal to drive your over 4mph in areas where pedestrians walk, i.e. shopping areas, crossings, under passes, parks etc.
WARNING BEACON
A warning beacon must be fitted and illuminated if you drive on an unrestricted dual carriageway i.e.a carriageway that allows speeds of over 50mph. We DO NOT recommend that you drive on these roads and advise you to choose an alternative route, avoid fast moving traffic at all times.
INSURANCE
Although it is not a legal requirement for accident insurance cover (third party), it is a sensible precaution. Your local dealer will be able to give you details of specialist insurance companies or you own insurance company will be able to advise you.
WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
！
Warning: The dealer recommends that you DO NOT operate your scooter in icy or slippery conditions or on salted surfaces i.e. roads and pavements etc. Such use may result in accident, personal injury or adversely affect the performance and safety of your scooter.
！
Warning: The dealer recommends that you DO NOT expose your scooter to any type of heavy moisture at any time i.e. rain, snow or power washer. Such exposure can damage your scooter. Never drive through deep water or expose your scooter to sea water.
Note: salt is very corrosive to metal and electronic components. Following use in winter or exposure to sea sand and water, your scooter should be washed with a mild soap and water to remove all ingress of salts. DO NOT use a power hose. DO NOT operate your scooter if it has been exposed to moisture until has been thoroughly dried out.
！
Warning: If your scooter is fitted with a canopy (cab) avoid gale force winds i.e. winds above 61km/h (38mph), avoid exposed areas near to water.
FREEWHEEL YOUR WESTMINSTER
Your scooter is equipped with a manual freewheel device for convenience when you need to push it.
！
Warning: DO NOT use your scooter in the freewheel mode without an attendant present. Personal injury may result.
！
Warning: DO NOT attempt to personally place your scooter in freewheel mode while seated on it. Personal injury may result. Ask an attendant for assistance if necessary.
！
Warning: DO NOT place your scooter in freewheel mode while on an incline. The scooter could roll uncontrollably on its own, causing personal injury.
TYRE INFLATION
If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tyres, you should check their condition on a daily basis. Have the tyre pressure checked and if necessary inflated to the recommended pressure at least once a week. Properly inflated tyres will help ensure a smooth, stable ride with minimum rolling resistance for your motor, it will also prolong the tyre's life and resistance to punctures.
！
Warning: ALWAYS inflate your tyres from a regulated air source. Over inflation from an unregulated air source could over inflate your tyres resulting in "blow out" or personal injury. DO NOT over inflate your tyres to the maximum inflation pressure indicated on the tyre cover, failure to observe this warning could damage your scooter wheels. Your tyres are designed for low speed use on pavements and roads. They are not for high speeds, such as in vehicles designed to travel at speeds in excess of 15 mph.
MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORTATION
Currently there are no standards approved for "tie down" systems in a moving vehicle of any tyre to transport a person while seated in a scooter. Although your scooter may be equipped with a positioning belt, this is not designed to provide proper restraint during motor vehicle movements.
Anyone travelling in a motor vehicle should be properly secured in the motor vehicle seat with a safety belt fastened securely.
！
Warning: DO NOT sit on your scooter while it is in a moving vehicle. Personal injury may result.
！
Warning: ALWAYS make certain that your scooter is properly secured when being transported. Failure to comply may result in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.
POSITIONING SAFETY BELT
Your scooter is fitted as standard with a positioning safety "lap" belt. It is a legal requirement for
Class 3 vehicle riders to wear this belt.
！
Warning: Wear your seat belt at all times, and make certain it is adjusted and fastened securely. Serious personal injury may result if you fall from your scooter.

INCLINES
More and more modern buildings are designed with disability access in mind. 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 scooter's front wheels 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.
Warning: Never drive down an incline at full speed.
！
！
Warning: 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.
！
Warning: 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.
！
Warning: DO NOT overload your scooter at the rear when climbing an incline.
ALWAYS lean forward to provide the best stability and prevent rearward tipping.
！
Warning: Any attempt to climb or descend an incline steeper than shown in the scooter
Specification at the rear of this manual may put your scooter in an unstable position and cause it to tip, resulting in personal injury.
10 degrees maximum incline 6 degrees maximum incline
STAIRS AND ESCALATORS
！
Warning: Scooters are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. ALWAYS use an elevator. Failure to observe this warning may result in injury to yourself and others and damage your scooter.
PREVENTING UNINTENDED MOVEMENT
！
Warning: If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period of time turn off the power key switch, this will prevent unexpected motion due to inadvertent movement of the direction control lever. Failure to observe this warning may result in personal injury.
Note: Your scooter electronics incorporate a "sleep" time mode following fifteen minutes of inactivity your scooter will automatically switch itself off. To start again simply switch your scooter off, then on again.
DISPOSAL OF ELECTRO-MOBILE SCOOTER
In time when your scooter becomes unusable it must be disposed of in accordance with the laws implemented at that time. For further information regarding the recycling arrangements for this type of vehicle and its batteries, contact your local authority or government department, details of this can be found in your telephone directory.
ALWAYS TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE.

SAFETY WARNING & INSTRUCTION LABELS
The following labels are positioned on your scooter; they communicate important warnings or instructions regarding the safe operation of your scooter. Please familiarize yourself with their location.
23
LEARNING TO GET ABOUT
1. Basic Driving:
Make certain you are comfortably seated on your scooter and both armrests are down. Ensure that the "Speed Adjustment Dial" is turned to minimum for your first drive. When you have become more confident you can increase the setting to a higher speed. Push the right "Thumb Lever
Control" as described earlier. You will very gently move forwards. Release the lever, and you will gently stop. Practice these two basic functions until you get used to them. Steering the Scooter is easy and logical by turning the handlebars in the direction you wish to maneuver.
2. Incline Control:
When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. This moves the center of gravity of your scooter towards the front of the scooter for improved stability. When going down an incline, keep your speed slow. This will keep you in a safely controlled descent. It is best to lean backwards; this moves the center of gravity of your Scooter towards the rear of the scooter for improved stability. If you wish to stop completely, release the control lever, and you will come to a gentle stop, avoid sudden stop or starts.
Normal driving position Increased Stability driving position
3. Control Over Stationary Obstacles
Stationery obstacle (steps, curbs etc.) must be avoided where possible. Proceed with extreme caution when driving near raise surfaces, unprotected ledges and / or drop offs such as curbs, porches, stairs etc.
Most new pavements have wheelchair access ramps at intersections, use these at all times. Plan your route where possible to avoid poor and uneven surfaces. DO NOT attempt to ride up or down curbs as you may ground your scooter and damage it’s construction.
Correct Incorrect

25
4. Control Over Grass & Gravel ETC.
Care must be taken when attempting to drive over soft surfaces such as those found in parks etc. The surface may look level, but this can be deceiving and hidden dangers may make your scooter become unstable or grounded. Avoid unkempt grass, loose deep gravel or sand;
DO NOT exceed the capabilities of your scooter. ALWAYS have an attendant to assist you in circumstances where you are not certain of the terrain. ALWAYS anticipate and think safety.
Caution: Because of the power of your scooter, you will be able to climb inclines. But the maximum safe gradient limit is 6 degrees. The reason for this is to ensure good stability.
ALWAYS have the anti-tipping wheels fitted to your scooter. They are an important part of your scooters design and reduce the likely hood of backward tipping.
ALWAYS avoid where possible turning on slopes or climbing curbstones. ALWAYS make certain that your scooter is in full working order and your batteries are fully charged before attempting to drive. Never attempt to drive beyond the design capability of your scooter. Observe weather conditions. Tires can slip on wet or icy surfaces.
DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH DEEP WATER OR LEAVE YOUR SCOOTER EXPOSED
TO HEAVY RAIN
i.e. During or after a thunderstorm.
DO NOT attempt to turn when negotiating an incline, only turn when all wheels are fully on or off the incline; failure to observe this warning could result in the machine becoming unstable and toppling over. ALWAYS lean forward when ascending an incline and backwards when descending an incline. This will enable you to maintain good stability and will eliminate any chance of a rear or forward upset.
PLEASE Note: The rear stability of your scooter is dependent on a number of factors which you should consider before attempting to climb an incline or other obstacle:
(a) Your height;
(b) The height of your seat;
(c) Your weight;
(d) The angle of the incline you are attempting to climb.
All of these factors can affect the rear stability of your scooter. If you are unsure of your capability to climb an obstacle, then try another route.
Always think "safety first".
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Your scooter, like any other electro-mechanical machine, will benefit from regular servicing by your dealer. You too, can help keep your scooter in good condition by following a simple guide to home maintenance.
Note: Only competent people should carry out service work.
SEAT UPHOLSTERY
A damp cloth and a little soapy water will keep your seat, backrest and arms looking smart.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners as this will damage the coating. Upholstery can be damaged by chemical cleaners.
The coating material can also degrade over a period of time due to contamination by natural oils in the hair and skin or from medicated power products. Ultra-violet light can also reduce the life of the upholstery coating material. This is a normal ageing process and cannot be guaranteed.
BODYWORK
The painted bodywork on your scooter can be lightly washed with clean soapy water. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or strong detergents. This could fade the color; shampoo for automobile works well. Remove salt contact as this is very corrosive to bright metal parts.
Caution: DO NOT hose down your scooter with a powerful cleaner. Water could be forced into the electronics and cause permanent damage.
On the painted finish, be cautious not to wash with a dirty cloth as this could scratch the paint finish. Auto polish can be used to keep the paintwork and bright chrome parts in pristine condition.
The metal framework of your scooter should be cleaned twice a year and any paintwork damaged should be treated to prevent further attack from the elements. Wash regularly if contact is made with road or sea salt, this is very corrosive.
DO NOT store your scooter in damp conditions. This may affect the electronics if left for very long periods of time. Moisture, if left unattended can cause deterioration on metal work, protect with proprietary cleaners.
ELECTRONICS
Servicing of the drive electronics and charger should only be carried out by your local service dealer. These units are sealed and should not be opened.
BROKEN SEALS WILL INVALIDATE YOUR GUARANTEE.
DO NOT operate your scooter in exceptional weather conditions, ie. very heavy rain or wind.
Cover your machine up if it is to be left unattended and outside for a long period of time.
DO NOT drive through deep water with your scooter. This could damage the electronic speed controller. Sea and road salts are very corrosive and should be neutralized quickly.
MOTOR
The motor on your scooter is fitted with four long-life brushes. The brushes should be inspected for wear every 12 months or more frequently if you use you scooter daily for long periods. The brushes should be changed when they have worn down to approximately 8 mm in length.

BATTERIES
Keep your batteries well charged. Keep batteries clean and in a dry frost-proof place. Keep battery terminals tight. Your local dealer will be able to test your batteries for their state of service.
Caution: It is not possible to predict the life expectancy of your batteries. This is mainly due to the different workloads a battery can be subjected to.
Some users will use their scooter every day and for long periods of time. Their batteries will receive a near total discharge, and the life of the batteries will be short (12 months or less some cases). Other users will use their machines less frequently, putting their batteries through a less demanding discharge lifestyle. These batteries will probably have a longer life in excess of
12months. This can only be a general guide and one cannot be more specific, due to other factors such as; motor loads, tyre pressures, general service factors, working conditions, periods of nonuse and abuse etc.
When you need to purchase batteries, ALWAYS insist on the model fitted as original equipment to your scooter. DO NOT use less expensive car starter batteries. If in doubt, consult your local dealer.
Warning: Correct disposal of exhausted batteries is advised.

BATTERY CHARGING
Your has a lot of power for a scooter. Keeping it working to its maximum potential means that its two batteries must be maintained with full power. Nightly recharging, after use, will help you to give them a longer life and will ensure your is always ready to go when you are.
BATTERIES
Your scooter is fitted with two sealed maintenance-free Batteries, especially designed for motive traction use. This means that you do not have to worry about topping upthe cells.
！
Warning: DO NOT attempt to remove the safety valves situated in the top of the battery. Failure to observe this warning will invalidate your battery guarantee.
Your batteries are virtually maintenance-free because the electrolyte is immobilized in a special form and therefore will not leak out, even if the battery is accidentally overturned.
Because your batteries are sealed they are more likely to be accepted for carriage on aircraft.
Please consult your carrier prior to departure, as they will need advance warning that you wish them to carry batteries.
Please note: Each carrier reserves the right not to carry what may be termed "HAZARDOUS
CARGO". The dealer cannot be held responsible for their final decision.
BATTERY CHARGER
The battery charger supplied, is special to your scooter and it may not be suitable for any other powered mobility product. ONLY use the charger supplied with your scooter; other makes of charger may permanently damage your batteries and would invalidate the guarantee.
CHARGING THE BATTERIES
Please refer to the battery charger instruction attached along with the battery charger.

5.
For longest life, your batteries should always be re-charged after use. Preferably over night.
If your scooter is not used for a period of time, a refreshing charge should be given every month. Never leave your batteries in a discharged condition. This is particularly important with sealed batteries as fitted to your scooter. If your batteries fall below a total terminal voltage of 12 volts, the charger supplied with your scooter will not operate. Please consult your local dealer.
If your scooter has been stored away for some time, re-charge your batteries before re-using it.
Every month, check the connections on the batteries, making sure they are tight and clean.
Batteries 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 that battery from the pair will be replaced.
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 fuel 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 100~240V domestic electricity supply via a standard
3-pin wall plug and reduces this voltage down to 24 volts 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 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. As the battery voltage approaches 90% of the full charge capacity, the charger reduces its output for the final stage of the recharge 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 6 up to 12 hours. This variation in time is due to the following factors:
1.
2.
Depth of discharge-The amount of energy you have removed from your batteries when driving your scooter.
Battery age-This is due to the changes in their internal electrical resistance.
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 scooter may be outside whilst the battery charger is inside. It is possible in this situation that the battery charger will sense the inside temperature, where as the batteries on the scooter will be at the outside temperature, resulting in an undercharged situation. This situation must be avoided.
How often must one re-charge my batteries?
Many factors come into play when deciding how often to charge your batteries. You may use your scooter 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 a full days service. It is recommended that you charge your batteries after daily use until the green 'Charge Complete' light illuminates.
2.
3.
If you use your vehicle infrequently (once a week or less) you should charge it at least once per week until the green "Charge Complete" light illuminates. Remember: Keep your batteries fully charged and avoid deeply discharging them.
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.
ALWAYS disconnect battery leads. 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. DO NOT allow to freeze, if frozen, fully thaw in a warm room prior to recharging or you may damage your batteries.
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. Remember batteries are expensive to replace, good maintenance will save you an unnecessary expense!
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.
Warning: Batteries are heavy, you may need assistance when lifting.
！
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 scooter 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 12 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.
2.
Fully recharge any new batteries prior to your initial use. This will bring your battery up to about 88% performance.
Ride your scooter around the local area. DO NOT venture too far away until you become accustomed to the controls and feel of the scooter. This will gently run-in your batteries.
3.
4.
Give your batteries another full charge and run the vehicle again. The batteries will now perform to over 90% of their full potential.
After 15 to 20 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" mode.
2.
5.
6.
3.
4.
Maintain relevant tyre-pressures as stated in the "Technical Specifications" of this User's
Instruction Manual.
Plan your trip in advance to avoid inclines, kerbs and soft surfaces.
Limit your baggage weight to essential items.
Try to maintain an even speed to avoid stop and start driving.
Ensure recommended routine servicing of the vehicle's components, i.e. motors, brakes, electrical connections etc., is carried out as instructed in this User's Instruction Manual.
Warning: When working or disposing of your batteries.
！
1.
2.
3.
ALWAYS make certain the terminals of your batteries are covered with the red/black terminal protectors. DO NOT allow metal objects to short out the terminals, your battery could explode causing you injury.
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.
If you need to replace your batteries, contact your local dealer. 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
4.
observe this warning may cause an explosion, short circuit or fire.
ALWAYS handle batteries carefully, they are heavy, it may require two people for lifting.
Wear protective gloves and glasses when handling.
Dispose of worn out batteries carefully, contact your local waste disposal authority.
5.
CHARGER MAINS PLUG
Your charger's main input cord is already fitted with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an
ASTA approved BS1362 fuse must be used of the same rating. If the plug supplied is not suitable for your socket outlet, it should be cut off and destroyed .The end of the flexible cord should be suitably prepared and the correct plug fitted. If any other type of plug is used a 5amp fuse must be fitted either in the plug, adaptor or at the distribution board.
Warning: A plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged in a live socket outlet.
！
PLUG WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Important: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blueneutral, Brown-live As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter N or coloured Blue or Black.
The wire coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured Brown or Red.
！
Warning: DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal which is marked with the letter E, by the earth symbol or coloured green or green/yellow.
Caution: Fittings marked are double insulated and do not need to be earthed. If in doubt or difficulty is experienced, consult a qualified electrician.
BASIC FAULT FINDING
If your scooter will not start:
(1) Check that the power key switch is turned "on". If it is, the battery condition
indicator meter will be operating. If the green status light on your console is
flashing once per second, charge your batteries.
If the battery condition meter and the green status light fail to operate when the key switch is in the "on" position, check the following:
(2) Make sure the battery charger is not plugged into the tiller charge socket, this will
prevent the scooter from driving.
(3) Check both battery connectors. Check battery terminal condition.
(4) Check the circuit breaker.
If your scooter stops for no apparent reason, it is probably due to the circuit breaker disconnecting from the speed control electronic box.
On rare occasions, a temporary overload on the electric circuit can occur – for instance when climbing a steep incline. If this happens, reset the circuit breaker, wait for two minutes to allow the temperature activated switch to cool down. Locate the plunger on the circuit breaker through the access hole. Place a finger onto the circuit breaker and press down on the plunger until it remains down. You are now ready to drive again. If the circuit breaker trips up again wait for 5 minutes and try again.
1.Fault Diagnosis:
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.
2.Charging Circuit Fuse:
One fuse protects your scooter charging circuit from receiving an overload of electrical current.
The fuse used in the scooter is the same type which is found on automobiles. In the unlikely event that a fuse should "blow" and needs replacing.
Use only a fuse of a 10 amp rating. Please note this size of fuse has been selected to give your scooter the best protection without premature fusing.
！
Warning: DO NOT use fuses with a higher rating than 10 amps as this may cause permanent failure to the wiring and wiring connectors or personal injury. For access to a fuse remove the four screws located in the rear body cover, and then lift the cover.
Locate and lift the fuse block on its wire, lift up the fuse lid and withdraw the "red" fuse. Replace the blown fuse with recommended 10 amp (pink) fuse, close fuse lid and replace fuse block.
The scooter only uses a fuse of a 10 amp rating. Please note this size of fuse has been selected to give your scooter the best protection without premature fusing.
3.Status Fault Codes:
Flash Description Meaning
1 Battery Low
The batteries are running low.
Recharge the batteries.
The batteries have run out of charge.
Recharge the batteries.
2 Low Battery Fault
Check the battery and associated connections and
wiring.
Note: The low battery fault flash code,described above, is a requirement of various safety standards. The scooter will output a visible and audible low battery warning if the battery voltage drops below 90% of its cut-off voltage.
The warning will be two short flashes, and will take priority over all other flash codes in the system.
3 High Battery Fault
Battery voltage is too high. This may occur if overcharged &/or travelling down a long slope.
If travelling down a slope, reduce your speed to
minimise the amount of regenerative charging.
