3. Storing batteries : Batteries should always be stored fully

charged. Check once a month and recharge fully if needed.

Sealed batteries can hold their charge for approx. 6

months. If they are left connected on the Scooter,

remember key switches, meters and electronic circuits can

drain the batteries rapidly. It is advisable to disconnect the

batteries for prolonged storage. Store in a warm, dry room.

How can I ensure maximum battery life?

Simply put, a fully charged battery is a happy battery! A fully

charged battery will provide reliable performance and extended

battery life, so keep your batteries fully charged whenever

possible.

Handling your batteries

Extra care must be taken when handling batteries, if you decide

to dismantle your vehicle for transportation etc. Dropped

batteries, even from a very small height, can lead to damage of

the internal components, causing premature cell failure. Your

batteries are sealed and do not require maintenance. Do not

force open the valves in the battery top.

Disposal

Caution: Used batteries must not be disposed of by means

of a domestic refuse disposal unit (dustbin) etc. Please

contact your Dealer to dispose of used batteries. Please

note, he may charge for this service.

BATTERY WARRANTIES

The batteries fitted to your vehicle are guaranteed against a

manufacturing or material defect for 12 months. Any battery

faults due to a defect in manufacture or materials will be

obvious within a few weeks of use. Your batteries are not

guaranteed to perform to full capacity for 12 months. This

will, of course be dependent on the actual use of the vehicle

and how often the batteries are cycled i.e. discharged and

charged.

Gradual deterioration in performance and reduction in

range is normal and associated with fair wear-and-tear,

misuse or accidental damage. Under these circumstances,

the warranty will not apply. It is a fact that some users due

to their hectic lifestyle, weight or operating conditions, may

wear their batteries out during the original battery

manufacturer’s guarantee period due to extensive use of their

Scooter. This is termed ‘Cycle Life’. Batteries have a defined

number of discharge cycles they can make i.e. the more times

you use your Scooter the more cycles your battery will make

- the shorter their life span.

If you take time to run-in your batteries properly, it will be

worth it. Remember: how long your batteries will provide

service is quite often a reflection of the care they receive. This

is how to run-in your new batteries:

1. Fully recharge any new batteries prior to your initial use.

This will bring your battery up to about 88% performance.

2. Ride your vehicle around the house or garden. Do not

venture too far away until you become accustomed to the

controls and feel of the vehicle. This will gently run-in your

batteries.

3. Give your batteries another full charge and run the vehicle

again. The batteries will now perform to over 90% of their

full potential.

4. After ten to fifteen charging cycles, the batteries will top

off at 100% charge and last for an extended period due to

your patience and care in the first few days of operation.

How can I get the maximum operating time per charge?

Rarely do we have an ideal driving situation such as a smooth,

flat, hard terrain with no wind or curves and warm

temperatures. More often, we are presented with hills, uneven

and loosely packed surfaces, curves, wind, cold and heavy

loads. All of these factors will affect the distance or running

time per battery charge.

Here are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum

range per charge:

1. Always charge your batteries fully prior to your trip. It is a

good idea to keep your Charger connected when the

‘Charge Complete’ (green) light is illuminated in the ‘Top-

Up’ maintance mode.

2. Maintain relevant tyre-pressures as stated in the Technical

Specifications of this Users Instruction Manual.

3. Plan your trip in advance to avoid inclines, kerbs and soft

surfaces.

4. Limit your baggage weight to essential items.

5. Try to maintain an even speed to avoid stop and start

driving.

6. Ensure recommended routine servicing of the vehicle’s

components, i.e. motors, brakes, electrical connections etc.,

is carried out as instructed in this Users Instruction Manual.

Warning: When working or disposing of your batteries

1. Always make certain the terminals of your batteries are

covered with the red/black terminal protectors. Do not

allow metal objects to short out the terminals, your battery

could explode causing you injury.

2. Do not allow your batteries to freeze. If frozen allow them

to naturally thaw out before charging, failure to observe

this warning may damage the batteries.

3. If you need to replace your batteries, contact your

Freerider Agent. Only batteries supplied as original

equipment on your machine will give you the best

performance. When charging batteries make certain the

positive and negative terminals are correctly assembled.

Failure to observe this warning may cause an explosion,

short circuit or fire.

4. Always handle batteries carefully, they are heavy. Wear

protective gloves and glasses when handling.

5. Dispose of worn out batteries carefully, contact your local

waste disposal authority for advise.
