Note:
Do not use car batteries on this scooter, as they are not designed to be totally discharged
and are not safe for use on a scooter. A battery's lifetime often depends on its care.
IF THE BATTERY TERMINALS ARE CORRODED
• Corrosion can cause a poor electrical connection or operating problems;
• Clean corroded batteries with a stiff brush and a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and water.
17.6 Charging the battery
The battery charger functions at the normal voltage of a socket (alternating current) and
converts it into V DC (direct current). The batteries use direct current to operate the scooter.
When the batteries are completely charged, the amperage of the battery charger is almost at
zero. This allows the battery charger to maintain the charge but not overcharge the battery.
Notes:
• The batteries cannot be charged if they have discharged almost to zero voltage.
• Always charge the batteries in a well-ventilated place.
• The battery charger is only for internal use. Protect it against humidity.
• To obtain maximum performance, it is recommended to replace both batteries
simultaneously when they are discharged.
• If the vehicle is not used for a lengthy period of time, it is advisable to charge the
batteries at least once a month to avoid deterioration.
• All batteries slowly lose their energy charge if they are not used for long periods.
After 3 months of non-use, a loss of charge of approximately 10% can occur.
Therefore, in the case of an expected long period of non-use, it is recommended to fully
recharge the batteries for at least 10 hours once a month and immediately afterwards
disconnect them, so that they are not connected to the motor/control unit.
17.7 If the scooter does not work
• Check that the wheel unlocking lever is in the locked position;
• Check the automatic main switch. Reset the automatic switch if necessary;
• Check that the speed selector is set to the desired mode;
• Check that the ignition is in the "On" position.
If none of the above procedures solves the problem, contact an authorised retailer.
AUTOMATIC MAIN SWITCH
WARNING!
Do not attempt to carry out do-it-yourself electrical repairs. Consult your local retailer.
If the scooter should stop working, for no apparent reason, it could be that the automatic main
switch has tripped.
POSSIBLE REASONS FOR THE AUTOMATIC MAIN SWITCH TRIPPING
• Driving on a steep incline;
• Overtaking on a pavement;
• Depleted batteries;
• Exceeding the maximum weight capacity.
When you switch on the scooter, the battery voltage decreases and the battery current
increases to satisfy the needs of the engine or the other electrical devices on the scooter. This
could result in heavy absorption of electric current that causes the automatic main switch to
trip.
