When charging the battery, the charger
should be connected to the charger plug
that is located on the battery box. If the
battery is to be charged once it has been
removed from the box then the charging
process should occur on an inflammable
surface. Connect the charger’s positive
terminal to the battery’s positive terminal
and the battery’s negative terminal to the
charger’s negative terminal. If the charger
is connected incorrectly it is most likely
that both the battery and the charger will
immediately and irrepairably damaged.
13.
The battery does not need to be super-
vised during charging. The automatic
functionality of the charger takes care of
any need for supervision.
14.
The battery should not be altered in any
way, for instance by taking it apart and
putting it back together in a different
configuration.
15.
It is not permitted to solder the battery. If
one of the connection cables should come
loose from the battery as a result of care-
less handling then it should be disposed
of immediately.
16.
If a fire should start in a NiMH battery
then the fire should be extinguished with
sand or alternatively the battery should be
cooled down by using a CO2 fire extin-
guisher.
17.
If the battery’s electrolyte should come
into contact with a person’s hands then
the electrolyte should be immediately
washed away to avoid any burns to the
skin. If someone were to get electrolyte
in their eyes then assistance from a
specialist eye doctor should be sought
immediately.
18.
Prior to winter, when you are no longer
using your kart, it is important that you
charge your battery before you put your
kart into storage for the winter. If you
store away your kart in the autumn with
a discharged battery then the battery will
almost certainly be inoperable when you
take out your kart again in the spring. For
this reason you should allow your battery
to remain charging on trickle charge mode
during the period that you will not be us-
ing it.
19.
If your kart is to be stored in cold stor-
age, in other words a storage area where
minus temperatures may occur, then you
should remove the battery and store it
somewhere at normal room temperature.

For information regarding handling of
the charger we refer you to the general
instructions that can be found on Mascot’s
website. Please see: http://www.mascot.

Installing the NiMH battery.
1.
The battery is delivered in a battery box
made of extruded aluminium.
2.
The battery box is to be mounted onto a
console that is in turn to be mounted onto
the frame to the left of the driver’s seat,
using the supplied mounting components.
3.
The start button and the charger plug can
be found on the battery box. In the box
there is also a 40 A fuse that prevents the
battery from being destroyed if a short
should occur outside of the battery box.
The fuse may only be changed for an
identical fuse that can be purchased as a
spare part from a Raket reseller.
4.
A cable leads from the battery box which
should be connected to the starter motor.
There is a plug on the cable that should
be connected to the equivalent plug on
the starter motor.
5.
The cables between the battery box and
the starter motor should be carefully
fastened to the frame by using suitable
cable clips or ties. The cables should
be fastened in such a manner that they
cannot come into contact with any hot or
warm parts of the engine that might melt
the cable casing, nor with any moving
parts that might render holes in the cable
casing.
