steps:
1. Remove all loose parts prior to transporting (basket, armrests, seat, etc.).
2. Store loose parts safely.
3. If possible, remove the batteries / battery boxes from the seat to save weight. (As gel batteries

Risk of injury - Take out the key before you start charging.
The light emitting diode (LEDs) in the steering unit indicates the remaining capacity of your batteries.
Recharge the batteries on a daily basis. If you do not do that and you keep on driving, the output of
your scooter will drop very significantly (uphills, bends, dim headlights). If you ignore these signals too,
your scooter will turn off. You should now immediately recharge your scooter with the accompanying
battery charger. Kindly also observe the accompanying operating instructions.

models have no ON/OFF switch; with these the loading device starts operating automatically
when you insert the mains cable).
5. The charger now starts to charge and the LED (orange) will be lit, which indicates that it is
busy charging.
6. Once the charging process is complete, the LED (orange) turns green, thereby indicating that
loading is complete.

8. Pull out the charger plug from the charging socket of the scooter. Your scooter is again ready
for use.

Charge your scooter's batteries strictly in accordance with the description above. If you charge
the batteries too early, they will gradually lose capacity, thus cutting your scooter's traveling
range.

The manufacturer shall decline all liability for damage caused by incorrect charging.

Use only genuine original batteries. We do not accept any liability for damage caused by using
batteries not supplied by us.

Do not expose the batteries to temperatures below 5° Celsius or above 50° Celsius.

If the batteries are opened, all liability of the manufacturer is voided as well as any claim.
If you decide not to use your scooter for a prolonged period, you must nevertheless recharge it
regularly to keep it in a running condition ready for immediate use.

If the batteries are not being used for a prolonged period, they will discharge slowly by
themselves (in-depth discharging). Then it becomes impossible to recharge them with the
supplied battery charger. When batteries are not in use, they must be recharged at least every
4 to 8 weeks (depending on the charge indicator).

Note that if you recharge the batteries too frequently, they will eventually lose their capacity
irretrievably.

Use only the supplied battery charger and no other charging equipment.

The manufacturer shall decline all liability for damage caused by improper charging.
