The off-board charger supplied with your scooter is equipped with a 115/230 voltage switch. Confirm 

that this switch is in the proper position for your locality. If you are not sure what the voltage is in your 

country, contact your local electricity provider before inserting the charger power lead plug into your 

electrical outlet. If the setting is incorrect, the charger will not function properly. Slide the voltage switch 

to the appropriate position.

 See figure 10.

The LED lights on the charger indicate different charger conditions at various times: charger power on, 

charging in progress, charging complete. Refer to the label on the charger for a complete explanation 

of these indicators.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS  

How does the charger work?

When your scooter’s battery voltage is low, the charger works harder, sending more electrical current 

to the batteries to bring up their charge. As the batteries approach a full charge, the charger sends 

less and less electrical current. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent from the charger 

is at nearly zero amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on 

your scooter’s batteries, but does not overcharge them. We do not recommend that you charge your 

scooter’s batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
