1. Loosen the tiller thumb-wheel 

and raise the 

tiller to the desired position - now re-tighten the
thumb-wheel to lock the tiller in position. (Fig.22)

2. Pull and twist the tiller transit lock to allow 
for normal steering,

 unlocked, it will allow steering 

to fully move. (Fig.23)

3. Re-connect the front and rear chassis  
sections 

by reversing the procedure in the previous 

section. (Fig.24)

 so it will 

not foul the battery.

5. Lift the battery packs into position. 

(Fig.25)

6. Replace the seat by squeezing the seat 
swivel lever and lifting the seat into position on 
the seat post,

 (Fig.26) the seat should drop into 

position. Release the swivel lever and rotate the seat 
until it locks in position. The seat should now only 
swivel if the lever is compressed / squeezed. Repeat 
this procedure if the seat fails to lock on the first 
attempt. - Never drive the scooter unless the seat is 
properly installed and locked against swivelling!

Battery Charging

17

Warning! 

When charging batteries 

NEVER

 

smoke or charge batteries in a place where 
there are naked flames such as gas-fired  
heaters as, under exceptional circumstances, 
batteries may give off gases that could ignite 
and explode. Always make sure that the battery 
pack is not damaged. Never charge the
scooter battery pack outside as the charger is 
not designed to get wet. If the charger appears 
damaged in any way do not use it and contact 
your dealer for a replacement.

Warning!

 Always charge in a dry, well  

ventilated area.

Warning!

 It is strongly recommended that the 

mains socket used for charging the scooter is 
protected by a 30 m/A RCD (residual current 
device). Many buildings have sockets protected 
by a system based RCD. If you are in doubt 
as to the level of protection in your charging 
location then either purchase a plug in RCD or 
consult a qualified electrician to verify that your 
charging location mains sockets are protected.

Warning!

 If batteries are damaged or frozen 

they could heat up during charging and in an 
extreme case, explode.

Warning!

 Do not attempt to open the battery 

box/enclosures, there are no user serviceable 
parts inside. It may be necessary for some  
carriers such as airlines to physically disconnect 
the batteries for transit. If this is the case the 
battery pack can simply be removed from the 
scooter.

Warning!

 Never use a different battery  

charger to that supplied by your dealer.  
Damage or injury may occur if you do!

Warning!

 When charging batteries 

NEVER

 

connect or disconnect the charger from the 
scooter while it is still connected to the mains. 
- Remove the charger mains plug from the wall 
socket having first switched the mains socket 
off if a switch is provided.
