3. Remove the charger from the SEAT POCKET. See figure 24.  

4. Insert the matching charger plug into the joystick’s charging socket that is located at 

the front of the joystick. See figure 25. 

 

NOTE: MAKE SURE THE STANDARD ELECTRICAL OUTLET YOU ARE USING IS NOT 
CONTROLLED BY A LIGHT SWITCH CAUSING THE CHARGER TO SHUT OFF WHEN 

IT IS ACTIVATED. 

 
5. Insert the plug at the other end of the charger power cord into a standard electrical 

wall outlet.  

6. Disconnect the charger power cord from the wall outlet and from the joystick charging 

socket when the batteries are fully charged.
