INSTRUCTION MANUAL
1. Most Important points to read prior to using your buggy
- Charge the battery [see below]
- Assemble the buggy placing the rear wheels on their correct side [see page 8]
2. Charging and care of the battery
The Ryder R75 is designed to take either the standard SLA 21/28 amp/hr battery OR
MGI’s Lithium Ion 12 volt battery. The charger should be matched with its respective
battery by ensuring the same coloured connector is on the battery. For example the 12v
SLA charger with the Red and Black connector and grey outer casing is to be connected
to a 12v SLA battery also with a Red and Black connectors. Connect Red to Red and
Black to Black. For 12v lithium chargers, connect the blue connecter with blue outer
casing to blue connector on the 12 v lithium battery.
Do NOT connect unmatched batteries or chargers otherwise the warranty on each
item will be void.
-Plug the charger into a powerpoint and attach the battery lead to the charger, matching
the connections properly.
-Always recharge the battery as soon as possible after use, no matter how short the
period of use. Your battery will charge best, lying flat, in a warm and air flowing location.
Note: In winter, it is best charged off any concrete floor and preferably in a warm location
within the house.
-During play, minimise the drain on the battery by avoiding taking your buggy into the
rough whenever possible.
-Avoid as much as possible using the buggy to pull you up the hills
-In between use, always leave the charger connected to the battery with power on.
-The battery is a sealed battery. If you are intending to take your buggy and battery on air
travel, we advise that you make contact with your airline prior to travel.
-Be very careful not to drop your battery. The battery casing is easily cracked and the
battery’s subsequent life will be severely compromised.
