CHARGING THE BATTERIES
Your C.T.M. scooter is equipped with two sealed, service free 12V. 12Ah. rechargeable
batteries and one 24V/2A charger. Batteries must be charged before using scooter for
the first time and should be recharged after each day's use. Be sure power switch is OFF
and free-wheeling lever (M) is not in Neutral.
1.Insert battery charger cord into charger socket on charger output.
2.Plug the other end (N) of the charger lead into a standard electrical wall outlet.
3.The battery charger light will normally be red and yellow at this point.
4.Allow charging until the battery charger light turns green.
5.After light turns green, unplug battery charger from scooter and wall outlet.
6.If at any time, the charger light flashes green over 40 minutes, this indicates abnormal
charging occurred. You should check that:
•charger plugs are correctly positioned
•fuse is not burned out
•scooter is turned off.
•if none of these is a problem, contact your authorized dealer.
Keep in mind these rules
:
•Fully charge batteries at least once a month; more if you use scooter regularly. Charge
after each trip exceeding 3 kilometers / 1.86 miles.
•If storing your scooter for some time (one month or more) make sure that batteries are
fully charged; and on returning, charge them again before using scooter.
Batteries will only give maximum performance after scooter has been used, and batteries
have been recharged up to 10 times.
For Safety, please follow the guidelines below.
1.DO NOT use the charger if the power cord is damaged.
2.DO NOT use an extension cord when charging batteries. A risk of fire and/or electric
shock could occur.
3.DO NOT take charger apart, as this will void the warranty.
4.Never attempt to open battery pack if it is necessary to replace batteries. Have a certified
technician to handle all repairs, and contac your dealer.
