X. BATTERIES & CHARGING CHARGING YOUR SCOOTER To charge your scooter, position the front of the unit next to a standard electrical outlet. Be certain the freewheel levers are engaged, and the power is turned off. Plug the charger into the scooter, and then into the electrical outlet. When the batteries are fully charged remove the charger from the scooter. SUGGESTION - The lights on your charger indicate different charge statuses. The light indicators can be found on the charger itself, or the manual provided with the charger. In most cases your charger will show a red or orange light when charging, and a green light when fully charged. BATTERY BREAK-IN To ensure maximum use from your new batteries fully charge the scooter prior to initial use for 8 to 12 hours. Operate your scooter until the battery gauge shows half capacity, and then give your scooter another full charge for 8 to 12 hours. BATTERY MAINTENANCE & CHARGING HABITS To ensure maximum life from your batteries, and continued use of your scooter please follow these charging guidelines based on your usage: SUGGESTION - If you use your scooter on a daily basis, charge the batteries as soon as you are finished with the day's activities, and leave it on the charge until you are ready to use the following day. SUGGESTION - If you use your scooter infrequently, charge the batteries once a week for 10 to 14 hours. Spitfire Scout Owner's Manual 26 www.drivemedical.com REV3.9.29.14
